Kindle: to give birth to, bring forth: To light up, illuminate.

Kindle is a collaboration between myself and Nina Smock that invites mothers and daughters into a space of curiosity, creativity, and connection.  With gentle guidance we will move through a variety of playful practices that will spark a sense of presence and belonging by settling the nervous system and engaging the heart, mind, and hands.  We’ll explore easy partner yoga poses as well as restorative yoga, receive sound bath magic and learn to offer it to each other (yes, you’ll get to play the bowls!), create ephemeral mandalas together, and enjoy a tea ceremony and snacks.  Everyone will get to take a package of organic and wild harvested herbal tea home with them as well… a special blend just for this workshop!

This workshop is designed for children who are old enough to engage in a variety of practices for two hours, who are able to remain present and preserve the intentional nature of the space.  We’ve envisioned children ages 10 and up, but you know your kiddo best!  Feel free to reach out with questions around this, we are happy to offer more specific guidance.  (Also, if you have more than one child who might want to come with you, please let us know about that as well.)

Kindle will take place on Saturday May 14th from 10am to 12pm at The Yoga Studio in Decorah.  The cost is a sliding scale of $50-$80 per pair.   Space for this workshop are very limited to allow for plenty of time to engage with each of the practices we want to offer, so please email me at wellness@mikahmae.com to reserve your space.

Please note: for this event we are using the language of mother and daughter because that is the nature of the relationship that we (Mikah and Nina) have the personal experience of in our lives.  We welcome anyone who self identifies as a mother or a daughter into this workshop with open arms.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or curiosities!
