Tea and practice: craft your experience

Explore the art of creating your own herbal infusions while shaping a yoga practice that truly reflects your individual needs in this immersive 2.5-hour workshop. Guided by cauri jaye and Lynn Castilla, the experience weaves together mindful tea-making and intentional movement, offering practical tools for a more holistic approach to self-care.

Part 1: Crafting Herbal Infusions (1 Hour)

In the first hour, herbal enthusiast cauri jaye will introduce the essentials of blending your own herbal infusions. You’ll learn how to steep herbs, flowers, and other botanicals to release their natural flavors and benefits, and how to combine ingredients for specific intentions such as relaxation or energized focus while still creating something delicious. As you sip together, conversational prompts and ChatGPT support will help deepen the discussion, expanding your understanding of herbal remedies and their place in everyday well-being. By the end of this session, you’ll have the knowledge to begin crafting your own blends, along with an infusion made by your own hands to take home.

Part 2: Building Your Authentic Yoga Practice (1.5 Hours)

In the second part, Lynn Castilla will guide you through a Hatha yoga sequence that balances structured instruction with self-led exploration. This approach invites you to notice your inner rhythms, meet your body exactly as it is today, and start building a practice that fits naturally into your life. Through gentle movement, mindfulness, and reflection, Lynn will support you as you develop a practice that nourishes body, mind, and spirit both on and off the mat. You’ll leave with greater confidence and practical tools to design a self-care routine that can evolve with you.
