One hour of movement and reflection with your fellow creatives!
Embodied Storytelling Yoga with Alaina Beth Reel. Join Alaina Beth Reel on August 23rd at 11:00 AM for a morning of Embodied Storytelling Yoga and uplifting conversations with your fellow creatives! Alaina invites you to infuse your yoga and art practices with play, poetry, colors, and sounds.
To be an embodied storyteller, for practice or profession, we must learn to listen and speak with our whole bodies and hearts. Embodied Storytelling Yoga is a “bottom-up” approach to the practice of yoga. It is less focused on what and where to move our body parts and more focused on how to move our bodies. Let words and images inspire fresh movement, and maybe even your entire artistic process! All ages, all yoga experience (including none), all mobility, and all creative expressions welcome!
Bring a mat, some water, and wear comfortable clothes to move in.
Tickets are $10
about alaina beth reel
Alaina Beth Reel is an actor, writer, and an active yoga practitioner and teacher. She has been a professional performer across the country for the last 20 years in theatre, film, commercial, and voiceover. Alaina studied yoga in Dharamsala, India with Mahi Yoga for a season in 2016, as well as at many studios in Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA. She is teaching locally at Board30 ABQ, Yoga by Julia, and YogaSix, and is the resident yoga instructor at Sage Neuroscience Center. Alaina loves playing with the integration of yoga and somatic-experiencing in her acting work, and creating yoga flows based on images, storytelling, colors, and words. Through the holistic acting training by Benjamin Mathes at Crash Acting, NeuroSystemic work with Helena Walsh at Empowerment Studios, and Bob Davidson's Art of Release on trapeze, she has created a delightfully fresh take on the intersection between movement and art. Her classes are fully grounded and accessible, invitations to know your body in a whole new light, and inspirational to any artistic practice. You'll recognize traditional yoga movements but they may feel completely different under the inspiration of images and awareness of nuanced sensations moving through your mind and body.
