Join us for a one-of-a-kind workshop that blends the healing energy of Reiki with the restorative flow of Yoga. Led by Reiki Master Liz Strickland and Svastha Yoga Hub founder Tatiana Stollman, this 2-hour session invites you to unwind through a slow yoga flow guided by Tatiana’s warm approach. As you open your body’s energy pathways, Liz’s Reiki energy deepens relaxation and helps release energetic blocks.
Suitable for all levels, this supportive space allows you to honor your limits while nurturing inner calm, leaving you refreshed, centered, and connected to your highest self.
The workshop will begin with a quick teaching on Reiki and a guided meditation, followed with a gentle yoga flow and concluding with Liz sending Reiki (aka universal life force energy) to each student and Tatiana offering optional adjustments in savasana.
All levels welcome, no prior experience required.
