With Liz Lescault and Kelly Fisher
In this two hour workshop, we will first practice some gentle restorative yoga with Kelly that will be focused around the chakras to help get your creative juices flowing. Chakras are subtle energy centers, sacred circles, within the body that help you access deeper levels of awareness. Then Liz will lead you through creating mandalas and circle-based art being mindful of sacred geometry.
All are welcome to explore yoga and art in a relaxed and non-critical way.
We will focus on the enjoyment and the process of both yoga practice and art making to help you feel at ease and to release stress and tension.
100% of the proceeds will go to Cancer Support Programs at Smith Center for Healing and the Arts. This event is hosted by Wildflower Yoga.

Finding Ease through Mindfulness, Movement and Story
Breathe It Out; Move It Out; Talk It Out
In this program, we will focus on our mind-body connection and explore ways to have more ease in our lives. With this intention, we will share our personal stories, move and engage with each other in playful ways.
This program is based in affirmation and looking for the good. Our shared, safe space will encourage us to explore our own creativity, find our own answers, and explore practices that enhance our life experience.
Creative movement forms can happen standing and moving within a small space or from a sitting position. Movement can also happen with our videos on or off. You are encouraged to take care of yourself and only participate at your comfort level. All are welcome.
Finding Ease through Mindfulness, Movement and Story will be offered monthly on the 3rd Thursday from 5:30 – 7:00pm ET.
Participants are encouraged to drop-in for any monthly session. Limited to 12 participants.
Upcoming Dates:
- September 15
