Our body is our most immediate home on earth. It is the receptacle of our stories, our experiences, our fears and our hopes, sculpted in the flesh of our being. It is also the guardian of our insights and intuitions, our longing-to-become and our celebration of life on earth.
By bringing attention to the kinesthetic experience, yoga allows the emotions and feelings that have taken a silent shape in our muscles, in our posture and movements, to come to awareness and be experienced and expressed consciously. When we perform Yoga asanas and breathwork as a practice of embodied awareness, we align our physical body with our emotional body and our spiritual body. Then our bodies stretch, both physically and psychologically, into new postures and new attitudes of openness, well-being and joyful relatedness.
This workshop develops personal and professional skills through the increased ability for kinesthetic attunement to self and others. In addition to asanas and breathing practices, participants in this workshop will use guided imagery and visual creativity to further experience and express the physical and the emotional energy of the body. In this way, they will have a visual "log" of their yogic experience to continue their work and to remind them of the potentials of their being

The
rainbow of our experiencing, our psyche, is embedded in the
life of our body. Our body is our most immediate home on earth.
Here live our stories, our joys, fears and hopes, sculpted in
the flesh of our being. Our body is as well the guardian of
our insights and intuitions, of our longing-to-become, and of
our celebration of life on earth.
When we give a creative voice to the body in the healing of
the psyche, our mental-emotional transformation is supported,
sustained and shared by our life force and we grow both physically
and emotionally into a freer range of motion and emotion, awakening
new, cherished possibilities for well-being, serenity and joy.
In this day-long workshop, participants will engage body, mind,
emotions and imagination in creative practices that speak to
possibilities, such as expressive movement, kinesthetic awareness
practices, active imagination as dialogue with the body, poetic
writing, enactment and painting. They will reflect on the role
of the body in psychotherapy and explore skills and practices
to attend empathically to the movement of joyful transformation.
For
any questions, please call Sophia at (415) 931-9507 or email

Breath and Voice: Awakening the WisdomBody

Ancient Eastern wisdom traditions see the body as a sacred instrument
of the spirit and a vessel of transformation. Through the mindful
practice of asanas and breath awareness, we bring greater presence
and fluidity to all facets of our being - body, breath, mind
and soul, enlivening our potential for transformation and fullness
of being.
Our voice is an integral, creative dimension of the dance of
energy and consciousness that we are. Its sound reverberates
in every cell of the body. Its subtle music carries our feelings
and insights. Belonging to body and spirit, our voice paints
the soul’s images in sound, and brings the intuition of
the spirit home into the body.
Join us in this day-long celebration of body-soul and spirit!
Sophia will lead us in asana and breath awareness practice,
emphasizing fluid, embodied presence. Chloe will lead us in
the Naked Voice. Chloe says: “The Naked Voice is a simple
method, introducing you to the Four Wisdoms inside you: Your
instinctual wisdom sounding from the belly, your intuitive wisdom
sounding from the heart, your insightful wisdom sounding from
the third eye, and your wisdom of love sounding from the root
to the crown.”

Our attitudes and feelings, longings and dreams, needs for safety and connectedness find silent expression in our physical-mental-emotional body, often leading to restrictions and distortions in natural movement potential. Yoga asanas, time-honored archetypal movement patterns, invite the practitioner to go beyond habitual posture and ways of moving and become aware of restrictions and blockages in muscles and joints.
When this kinesthetic awareness is engaged and unfolded through imaginative expressive modalities, a transformative journey ensues from kinesthetic sensations to intuitively apprehended embodied meanings, and their creative expression and integration. This journey increases suppleness, fluidity, ease and balance in all aspects of embodied experience.
Students in this workshop will engage in yoga asanas and breathwork, in authentic movement, enactment, painting, poetry, and toning.

Saturday and Sunday
1-6 PM to be held at:

Yoga Center of Marin
142 Redwood Avenue, Corte Madera
13 CEUs for MFTs and LCSWs
The Tantric wisdom tradition speaks of chakras, energetic centers of actualized and potential consciousness, aligned along the axis of the subtle body. At each of these embodied levels of consciousness one's experience, ways of thinking, emotional dynamics, and ways of relating to others are significantly different.
Through asanas and kinesthetic awareness practices the mental, emotional and spiritual energy of each chakra can be explored and brought into greater balance and harmony within the bodymind.
Participants in this workshop will perform yoga asanas and breathwork as a practice of awakening the kinesthetic wisdom of the body, bringing awareness to each facet of embodied consciousness. They will furthermore engage in symbolic and creative practices, such as active imagination, enactment, painting and writing to deepen and give expression to their exploration.
The experiential unfolding of awareness, differentiation and embodied intuition evokes and strengthens the body’s own wisdom and the soul’s ability to recreate oneself.
Clinicians will enhance their ability to guide and accompany others on their journey to a more joyous, harmonious and fulfilling selfhood.

This workshop will bring together the embodied wisdom of yoga and the creative vision of Jungian psychology. Together, these traditions offer an integral experiential matrix for psychological and spiritual growth, in which psyche is rooted in body, and body provides a strong and balanced container for the transformation of psyche and spirit.
Lectures, discussions and substantiating literature will explore the essence of yogic, embodied practices of transformation together with the psychological and spiritual ground in which they are embedded. They will equally explore the transformative journey of individuation at the heart of Jungian psychology, bringing to life and unfolding the natural affinity in intent, spirit and practice of the two paths.
Participants will engage in kinesthetic-meditative awareness practices, foundational yoga postures, breath work, active imagination and other symbolic processes to experience the rich dimensions of embodied transformative insights these integrated practices offer.
This workshop is designed for clinicians, students, yoga practitioners, and the interested general public. Clinicians will gain tools to facilitate in others psychological and spiritual growth grounded in embodied experience. Practitioners of yoga will gain increased awareness for working with asanas and breath to transform both the physical and the emotional body. Anyone interested in learning more about the nature and spirit of Jungian psychology or of Ashtanga yoga will find this workshop a valuable resource to deepen their intellectual and their embodied, intuitive understanding.
Sophia Reinders, Ph.D., MFT, is a Jungian psychotherapist in private practice in San Francisco and Marin, a certified Iyengar yoga teacher, and faculty at CIIS. In her body-mind-spirit approaches to transformation and healing Sophia interweaves embodied awareness, movement, symbolic practices and creative expression.

Our body is our
most immediate home on earth. It is the receptacle of
our stories, our experiences, our fears and our hopes, sculpted
in the
flesh of our being. It is also the guardian of our insights
and intuitions, our longing-to-become and our celebration of
life on earth.
By bringing attention to the kinesthetic experience, yoga allows the emotions and feelings that have taken a silent shape in our muscles, in our posture and movements, to come to awareness and be experienced and expressed consciously. When we perform Yoga asanas and breathwork as a practice of embodied awareness, we align our physical body with our emotional body and our spiritual body. Then our bodies stretch, both physically and psychologically, into new postures and new attitudes of openness, well-being and joyful relatedness.
This workshop develops personal and professional skills through the increased ability for kinesthetic attunement to self and others.

In this way, they will have a visual "log" of their yogic experience to continue their work and to remind them of the potentials of their being.
