Special Events & Workshops

Take your practice from your mat to your plate and life. ™

Are you someone who wants to change your relationship with food and your body?

Instead of watching your weight and focusing on food, this supportive group will help you return to your healthy, natural weight while you restore and rediscover yourself, as you begin to re-learn intuitive eating through mindful movement and the no-diet approach.

Through the practice of mindful yoga and discussion group, you will learn how to:

• Develop a more natural, balanced and accepting relationship with food and your body.
• Reduce the struggle of overeating.
• Learn how to eat mindfully.
• Develop self-regulation and inner peace.
• Recognize hunger and fullness
• reconnect to your inner wisdom so that you can rely less on external limits such as diets.

As we practice gentle yoga for 45 minutes, we will explore our experience of physical sensation, thought, and emotion through movement, with a goal of enhancing awareness and acceptance of whatever arises. We will follow with 45 minutes of “Embodying Intentions,” focusing on the connection between yoga, eating, and life.

Shirley Kessel has worked in healthcare for 25 years and believes that health and wellness stem from tuning in to and trusting your inner wisdom rather than relying on the plethora of mandates from diet experts.

All levels welcome!

This 3 hour open-level workshop will explore the ways in which the habits of our sometimes closed hearts and minds can soften, thus allowing whole new universes of experiences to unfold for us! Concretely, the workshop will include creative work at the wall in which you deepen your understanding of certain surprising poses, detailed instruction and practice of mind-refreshing inversions, a bit of juicy flowing movement set to most excellent music, and an hour of completely blissed-out restorative yoga poses in which you allow the yoga to “do you.” Glitter, head-massages, and opera might even make their appearances! Come and join us for this afternoon of yoga joy with your Twisters Yoga Community!

Natalie Levin has been practicing yoga since 1996 and is a graduate of the 2003 OM Yoga Weekend Warrior Teacher Training program at OM Yoga in NYC. Natalie expresses deep gratitude to her teachers Cyndi Lee and David Nichtern, who gave her a teaching foundation steeped in mindfulness, humor, breath awareness, alignment, and play. Natalie taught full-time at OM Yoga in NYC for several years, and then decided it was time to move to the country (the country of North Wales, PA). She has studied Iyengar yoga with George Purvis, Gabriel Halpern, and John Schumacher. For a while, Natalie was a devoted practitioner of Ashtanga yoga, and studied with Tias and Surya Little in Santa Fe and David Galls in Washington, DC.
