Does this time of year have you feeling stressed, anxious, or pulled in too many directions? If so, you are not alone. While some people have a "go to" means for temporarily reducing stress, longer lasting ease and peace can seem elusive. Please join us as Matthew Lyons guides a journey into deep relaxation and restoration. In this three-hour workshop, you will take gentle steps toward a greater awareness of your breath and body through the practice and experience of yin yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and sound healing — all offered to to help you release habitual tension, relax deeply, and reconnect with or discover where peace, joy, and ease already reside within you. Our hope is that after embarking on this deeply restful journey, you'll step back into the world with a renewed sense of peace and tools to address stress as it shows up in the holiday season and in your daily life as we head into a new year.
Be sure to join us for the live event at the studio; this workshop will not be recorded.

Matthew Lyons
Matthew will be traveling for most of the Winter Session, but he'll offer a workshop or two when he's in town. While he's away, we hope you'll join Elise for Sunday Slowdown at 6:15pm on Sundays.
Originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, Matthew (he/him) has lived in the DC area for over 30 years. He began practicing yoga consistently in 2014. After several years of practicing Bikram Yoga, his interests shifted to vinyasa, Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, and restorative practices. Matthew completed his RYT-200 training as well as a 100-hour Yin Yoga teaching training in the spring of 2017, and has since continued to pursue training in Yoga Nidra, restorative yoga, and sound healing. He also holds a law degree from George Washington University Law School and spent nearly 26 years working on congressional affairs and federal public policy before deciding in 2018 to dedicate his time and energy to guiding gentle movement practices, meditation, and sound healing. Matthew, a teacher and board member at Circle Yoga, brings a calm, mellow vibe into his classes and workshops, with the intention of making subtle movement and stillness accessible and fulfilling to each student's body, mind, and spirit.
