Think Outside the Mat is a A Nia FloorPlay and Self Awakening Yoga (SAY) Experiential and Collaborative Playshop with Christine Stineman and Jenn Brown at The Collective and on Zoom.

As a child, the floor, your body and gravity taught you to push, pull, reach, roll over, creep, crawl, squat, stand up, run and walk. As an adult, this body wisdom still lives in you. Moving on the floor strengthens, stretches, balances joints, increases agility and supports healing. The floor is still the body's best playground and gym, and play is still the best way to learn, grow, develop and receive lasting benefits.

No previous yoga or Nia experience necessary. Jenn and Christine will provide a supportive space for you to move in Your Body's Way, offering guidance through both form and freedom.

Self Awakening Yoga (SAY) was created by Don and Amba Stapleton, Directors of the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. This practice delivers an inquiry-based, yogic approach that develops the multi-dimensional Self, strengthens inner guidance, and allows space for a direct connection to Source through developing witness consciousness.

This practice has the power to reconnect you with your inner child, give you wings to fly, and bring you into a state of deep relaxation all while exploring movement and space with the body. Come with an open mind and leave with a joyful heart. Shanti ~ Namaste
