EXPLORE DEATH TO LIBERATE LIFE - A TRANSFORMATIONAL RETREAT AT KRIPALU

It is always a rewarding experience to present at Kripalu, but this year, it seemed especially so. People, myself included, seemed more hungry than ever to feel what is real and true, in both our inner and outer worlds.

I felt so blessed to have a team of talented women supporting the Partner Yoga for Couples Weekend, including Gina Lee, a gifted teacher who shares poetry that opens the heart like only poetry can. Margie McSweeney, midwife of birth and death, serenaded the space with sounds from a beautiful hand crafted instrument, and Lara Christine, another inspired teacher also added her beautiful singing voice.

One thing is clear to me - that as long as we are alive, we have a precious opportunity to grow and change, to mature our humanity both emotionally and psychologically. And to deepen into our spiritual nature - the part of us that recognizes to a greater or lesser degree, that we are more than this body and the story of this lifetime.

INTEGRATION AND RECONNECTION

Over the years I have had the privilege and pleasure of offering a practice on the deeper purpose of Savasana, or Corpse pose. Although most Yoga classes end with this deep relaxation / integration pose, it is rare that we get to consider the deeper meaning and value of the practice.

I would like to share a story from many years ago that happened over the course of a weekend ‘Exploring our Death to Liberate our Lives’. It is an experience that stays with me because of this woman’s bravery to face what was really true for her.

EMBRACING LIFE AND DEATH

  • As a yoga teacher, transformational coach, and spiritual practitioner, I recommend her work whole-heartedly. Elysabeth is truly one of the most gifted teachers I know.

  • Elysabeth has masterful intuition regarding the gifts and needs of each student. I was entranced with how she individually tailored cueing and postures for each of us, creating an environment of trust, and a desire to expand beyond our perceived limitations.

  • We are all still basking in the warm sweet glow of our time with you. This was truly unlike any Yoga I have ever done and I long for more. You are an amazing teacher Elysabeth, and you have such a beautiful and radiant spirit and energy. Your skillfulness in teaching is so inspiring and I am truly honored to have been able to host you at my studio.

  • Elysabeth brings decades of study and practice of many diverse teachings and tools, and I have benefitted greatly from her perspective and life experience. She has supported me by providing an honest reflection of myself and through deep listening and somatic practices that I can continue to use on my own. Elysabeth brings great wisdom to her clients and lovingly calls forth the wisdom contained within each of us.
