A Movement, Reading & Reflection Experience

 Join us for a 90-minute book-inspired yoga workshop, designed for for people who enjoy movement, stories, and thoughtfully curated experiences. Led by yoga instructor Kristan Marden and author Anusia Gillespie, Soul Flow blends relaxed vinyasa yoga, short narrative readings from the novel Soul Toll, breathing practices, and guided reflection. Inspired by the threshold chapter of storytelling, this session invites curiosity about the moment when something new begins to unfold. The workshop begins with brief readings to set the tone and invite imagination, followed by an all-levels vinyasa practice that emphasizes awareness and courage. Narrative moments are introduced throughout the experience to give participants the opportunity to connect ideas from the story to their own inner worlds. The session concludes with simple writing prompts and breathing practices that help integrate what’s been felt or discovered on the mat, offering a way to carry those insights into daily life. Soul Flow is designed for book lovers, yoga practitioners, curious beginners, and anyone drawn to experiences that bring movement, narrative, and embodiment together in a warm, approachable setting. No yoga experience or pre-reading required. Soul Toll books are available for purchase separately on Amazon and are not included in the program fee. Cost: $37; $30 for JCC Members
