Discover Balance and Connection Through the Five Layers of Self

If you have been seeking a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect, this workshop is for you. The Koshas and Your Well-Being offers gentle, trauma-sensitive yoga and self-care practices designed to restore balance across all the layers of the self.
Led by Shawntell Layaw, this experience invites you to explore how to support well-being by centering a holistic approach to wellness by integrating the five layers of the self – body, breath, mind, heart, and spirit. You’ll leave with tools to ground your self-care in balance, reflection, and community connection.

What You’ll Experience:

  • A grounding welcome and intention-setting circle
  • Introduction to the Koshas - the layers of body, breath, mind, heart, and spirit
  • Guided visualization, journaling, and affirmations
  • Yoga practice inviting calm and ease as a way to integrate and restore balance
  • Well-Being Self Assessment for self-care support
  • Reflection and group dialogue to support a vision for your optimal well-being

This Workshop Is For:

Community members, health educators, BIPOC individuals, yoga teachers, and anyone seeking gentle, mindful ways to support health and well-being.

No prior yoga experience is required. All bodies and backgrounds are welcome.

Why It Matters:

In a world that constantly demands more, tending to the whole self — body, breath, mind, heart, and spirit — is an act of deep care. This workshop centers self-care and reflection as essential ingredients for personal and collective well-being, reminding us that when we care for every layer of ourselves, we strengthen our ability to thrive together.
