Saturday, March 1 | 4:30–6:30 PM | St. Paul Yoga Center
1162 Selby Ave, St. Paul (corner of Dunlap and Selby) | Art Supplies Included
Heart and Art is a sacred gathering devoted to softening the body, calming the mind, awakening somatic awareness, and gently releasing the contractions we carry in the heart.
The workshop centers on Breathe Release It All breathwork and tension-releasing Soma Yoga as powerful doorways into embodied presence. Through guided, floor-based practices, we will work directly with the places in the body where emotional holding lives. These subtle contractions, especially around the chest and heart center, often shape how we relate, protect, and love.
Breathwork acts as a shortcut into somatic awareness. Rather than analyzing our stories, we allow the breath to bring us underneath them. The breath bypasses the intellect and brings us straight into sensation. From there, real softening becomes possible. As the body releases tension, the heart chakra can begin to open naturally, without force.
The Soma Yoga practices are slow, intuitive, and deeply regulating for the nervous system. Lying down, we create the conditions for safety. The body unwinds. The mind quiets. Presence deepens.
The art portion of the evening will focus specifically on healing locks and contractions in the heart chakra. You will be guided to create a symbolic expression of your heart center, not as an anatomical drawing, but as an energetic landscape. Where has the heart closed? Where does it feel guarded? Where does it long to open?
This is not about artistic performance. It is about listening. The art becomes a mirror for what the body has revealed. As tension releases through breath and movement, the creative process allows integration. You may discover new space, new color, new possibility in the heart field.
Heart and Art is an invitation to soften the grip around the heart, restore flow where there has been holding, and remember that love is not something we chase, but something that naturally circulates when the body feels safe enough to open.
Practical details:
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring layers, as the body temperature can shift during breathwork and deep relaxation. The studio provides mats and blankets, and you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Eye pillows are also available for the breathwork practice, but feel free to bring your own if you have one you love.
