Workshops + Events
Intentions + Sound
Monday, March 16th at 6:30pm
6:30-7:30pm
with Erin
@AboutTime Bookstore Libertyville
Step into reflection and renewal for Spring. We’ll work through a guided exercise to create “goals with soul” centered around core desired feelings in your life rather than a checklist of achievements. Afterwards, lie back and relax for the guided yoga nidra meditation to crystal singing bowls. The whole experience is a chance for reflection, resetting and stress relief.
About Time will have a curated table of recommendations for self care + joy.
Please bring a yoga mat, small pillow or blanket for the meditation portion. Each participant will receive a journal to use in the workshop. We recommend wearing layers. No experience necessary!
Please BYO mat as there will be no studio mats at the event space.

Reclaiming your Body Series
Sundays at 2pm
April 12 - May 3rd
with Jessie
Join us for this 4 week series ~ attend one session or ALL ~ and reclaim your body from the grip of trauma, stress and stored tension.
In this series we will use the practice of trauma sensitive yoga and educational lecture/reflection to reclaim personal power, autonomy and a sense of ease in the body and mind.
Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is an evidence based practice for trauma, stress of all types and PTSD that emphasizes safety and choice making. This yoga practice uses physical movements geared towards tuning into the internal experience of the participant as a way to create and direct energy. This helps yogis move away from an idea of doing forms “right or wrong” and instead establishes greater sensitivity and autonomy, two states often compromised by trauma and deep stress.
In this workshop, participants and the facilitator will go through 30 minutes of targeted education around elements of TCTSY including: establishing a deep sense of safety, choice making, interoception, and self care, followed by a 30 minute TCTSY practice.
Participation is limited to keep the experience intimate.
