yoga & creativity workshop

Join me on Sunday, July 1st 12-3:30pm for an exploration of creativity as an extension of your yoga practice. Spend time indulging in creative play by making a vision board, meditating, practicing yoga, discussing ways to live more creatively, and engaging in svadyaya (self-study) while communing with like-minded friends.

Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams become realities. We start by flipping through magazines, pulling out any images that make you smile. Creating a vision board out of the images that make you smile and by returning to them again & again reinforces your dreams & goals in a positive way.

All you need to bring is your journal, your favorite tea mug, old magazines that you don’t mind cutting up and an open heart & mind.

Workshop is 3 ½ hours. Cost is $49 and includes a FREE goodie bag. Tea and light snacks will be provided. No yoga experience needed, this is open to all!

"The yoga & creativity workshop was amazing! It started me journaling again and the vision boards we made are beside my bed each night for me to remember and review. I had never participated in something like this, but it was the spark that has led me to make changes in my life that allows me to be a priority. To find the time for ME that I need to be a better Mom, a better spouse and a better person. I plan to put the next Yoga & Creativity Workshop at the top of my TO DO list." — Angela C.

wheel of life/2010 vision board

for those of you that have been reading my blog for a while you probably recall my 2009 vision board, if you are new or need a refresher, click here.

for the last few weeks i've been playing around with making a visual wheel of life. while it isn't exactly in a "wheel" shape, you get the idea. if you are not sure what the "wheel of life" exercise is, you can check out a few variations & explanations here, here & here.

i decided to make an artist's date out of my visual wheel of life. i had magazines, construction paper, scissors, a glue stick, water with a slice of organic lemon (i am on a lemon kick recently), and the drive to make something beautiful and creative.

now for a little closer look into each of the categories...

finances
relationships
health
home environment
self-care
spirituality
creativity
career
(sorry for all of the glare from the glossies)

have you tried the wheel of life exercise or a vision board? why not combine both into one.

full corn moon dreamboard

i decided to join in on jamie ridler's dreamboarding fun. with the changing of the seasons i am going through a change of career. as most of you know, i am starting my massage therapy program at the end of the month. i don't see it as a career change but an entire lifestyle change. this is really the beginnings of my own wellness journey as well. i hope that comes across in my dreamboard.

vision board a la staycation

i decided to post the vision board that i made during my summer solstice staycation w/ kimberly wilson. the idea was given to me by sarah over at the analyst. thanks for the idea sarah.

my vision board was focused on "zen & beauty."

those glossies really make for some major glare, :(

summer solstice staycation

all of you that read kimberly wilson's & city girl's blog know that i attended the summer solstice staycation in dc. i had the most awesome time!!

i've been blogger buddies with the darling city girl for several months now but this was the first time we got to meet in person. we had a fabulous time. i visited a few of the places that she has blogged about such as sweet green (which i had visited before but always a treat to return), hana the japanese grocery store and the wonderful biagio fine chocolates.

this was the third time i had met the ever lovely kimberly. the first time i drove 3 hours to a get your yoga on workshop with her in leesburg, va and the second time was when i was in dc for the cherry blossom festival and went to tranquilspace to take a yoga class.

the 6-hour staycation was a combination of journal writing, yoga, making a vision board, and a presentation by a hilary wentz, a holistic health counselor. hilary also prepared us a wonderful vegetarian lunch with tea sandwiches, fruits, veggies, lots of tea, dark chocolate and cheese.

2009 vision board

can you believe that we are a quarter of the way into 2009??!! (sorry, that is the accountant coming out in me, thinking in quarters lol). i can't believe we are already into april.

i am a huge fan of lists. so normally, come new years day, i will write out a list of resolutions. instead of writing out a goals list (or resolutions if you wish) for 2009, i decided to do things a little more creatively this year. i made a vision board for 2009. i went through all of my old magazines, cut out the images that spoke to me (keeping with theme of my goals), then pasted those images onto a poster board. i hung my vision board in the back room of our house (this is a small bedroom that i mostly use as my closet) that way i can see my vision board every day. it's a nice reminder instead of a nagging list.

i wanted to share my vision board (hopefully to serve as inspiration and to help remind me to accomplish the things on there!)

are you guys meeting the goals/resolutions you all set, if so, please feel free to share.
