The Waking State
Offered in person at North Node (Kingston, NY)
Saturday, March 30th, 2024 1-4pm / $60
As spring begins, we are invited by nature to bring the spark of aliveness and vitality back into the self after the winter season of rest and dormancy. As we emerge from wintry introspection, we are called to lift our energy and step into time for growth.
Through a well-balanced practice of somatic movement explorations, breathing exercises, meditation and journaling we will encourage deepened connection to and appreciation for spring, and cultivate a sense of refreshment and renewal within the body and mind.
Come and explore ways to:
Ground and center the body in order to establish presence within the energy of spring
Support the body’s natural cleansing processes associated with spring through gentle movement
Support the organs and natural elements associated with spring: lymph, blood, liver, and wood element
Encourage the release of stuck energy and invite clearing within the body, mind, and our lives off the mat
Please bring with you:
A yoga mat, journal, your favorite writing utensil and water. All props will be provided.
This workshop is inclusive and open to all levels of somatic practice experience.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth Gross. I’m an herbalist, bodyworker, end of life doula and yoga instructor based in the Mid Hudson Valley, Ny. I primarily bring forth my training in Embodied Flow to my somatic movement based workshops. Embodied Flow is a integrative system of movement which merges yogic philosophy with somatic inquiry in order to experience yoga as a living art form. Throughout the past decade, I have supported private clients and students fall into natural rhythms that support a deepened connection with the natural world using many of the techniques we will explore in this workshop.
