Art/Yoga Fusion Workshop: Heart Mandala for Self Esteem

This is the workshop I am leading next weekend.

"Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out. " - Alan Cohen

Often we forget to celebrate and nurture ourselves. Sometimes our inner critique is so strong that we say things about ourselves internally that we would not say to our worst enemy. Many times we rely on other people’s compliments and encouragement to determine our own self-worth. In this busy life, we can easily forget who we are and what makes us unique and special.

Creating the self-esteem heart mandala reminds us to celebrate ourselves as the success we already are. During the process of mandala making we are forced to slow down and remember our greatness.

We still start with a yoga asana practice focusing on opening the heart chakra. We will then do some automatic writing exercise around self esteem. Followed by the creation of individual Self-Esteem Heart Mandalas using collage, paint, writing and drawing.  We will close with a guided metta (loving-kindness) meditation.

The workshop is from 1 to 4pm. The workshop costs $30 if you preregister and $40 at the door.
