WOUNDS TO WISDOM: YOGA AND RECOVERY
June 29 – 30, 2019
Swaha Yoga Center – Athens, Greece
We are all recovering from something; negative self-talk, traumas, addictions – the list goes on. Yoga means “to yoke” or “union”, and through this practice we can begin to put the pieces back together and come closer to wholeness.
By compassionately inviting and integrating shadow back into our lives, we can stand bravely in our humanity, which in turn, will help others do the same. Endless ripples!
We will flow, breathe, meditate, and share in commUNITY. With collective excavation and awareness, we can truly turn our chaos into clarity and our Wounds into Wisdom.
EVENT’S SCHEDULE
SATURDAY, June 29, 4-6pm
This 2 hour explorative movement session is designed to tap into the spaces of the body where we have a tendency to store old stories and pain. Sending breath + awareness as well as utilizing shaking, flow, and stillness, will help to alleviate stored emotions and tensions to create room for more freedom.
SUNDAY, June 30, 1-5pm
In this experiential workshop we will blend asana, meditation, self-inquiry, + philosophy to assist in identifying our conditionings and limiting beliefs. By combing this with tools to regulate the nervous system, moves can be made towards the gentle befriending of our shadows.

FACILITATORS
COLE
Cole has been a seeker all her life. It has brought her into the depths of addiction, to all corners of the world, and most importantly to the path of yoga.
Through this practice, she began to see the disillusionment of drugs and alcohol, which led to her personal recovery and now advocacy for others caught in cycles of pain and self-sabotage.
Regardless of what flavor of struggle shows up in our lives, Cole truly believes that yoga and mindfulness can be a journey to untangle traumas and wounds that can lead one to closer to peace and wholeness.
