Jennifer Pastiloff's Yoga Manifestation Workshop, A Must GO!


This woman was sent to this earth to spread truth, to banish idealisms and to encourage the real deal.

I attended her 2.5 hour, Yoga Manifestation Workshop this Saturday at hauteyoga Queen Anne.  She couldn't have found a better space to hold this workshop, mats lined every inch of the room and people were more than willing to scoot over.  Talk about love, talk about community.

Jen asked a great question to start off the workshop..."In order to be who you want to be, what do you need to let go of?"  Are they big things, little things, people, jobs, etc.  Next task, write down what or who you're around when you feel the most inspired.  So we wrote and then we started to vinyasa flow.  Sailing through poses, Jen shouted  with enthusiasm, "to be who we were meant to be!"  We transitioned from down dog to high lunge and paused.  "Hold hands and sing loud!"  The song started and we all sung, "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!"  It was one of those moments that you look back and can't help but smile.

Tears were streaming down cheeks, as Jen encouraged, "Don't hold back!  When you suppress an emotion, it has no choice but to come back."

So we really let go and BOY did it feel goooood.  Then came the real tear jerker, "Write a one-page letter to yourself from someone in your life who has given you unconditional love."  I wrote a letter to myself from my Mom.  The unconditional, motivational, go for everything with eyes wide open, loving Mother.

If you're reading this, I encourage you to do this.  Seriously.  And look at it from time to time, whenever self doubt starts to rear its ugly head.  Because it will.  But this time, you'll have something to get you re-focused and quick!

I don't want to give everything away, because her workshop is a gift to be experienced.  I'll ask you, what she asked us, "What are you manifesting?"
