Create Your Happy Body Part 1

with Hope Mell, RYT 500, ATT
Price: $195.00

Tuesdays: Oct. 5, 12, 19, and 26

How are you faring these days? Are you caring for your body and mind? Are you stiff and sore or flexible and flourishing?

We are gently moving out of a pandemic, or so we hope. There are still restrictions, and still the Covid virus is causing much pain and suffering. What to do during this challenging time? Get up and move!

Join Hope Mell, a movement specialist, for an online program to explore various movement practices that will make your body happy. Using the tools of Alexander Technique and Pavanmuktasana (Joint Freeing Series), you will be guided in a practice that will transform your movement. The choice to never again move the same, painful way is yours.

Live sessions with Hope on Tuesday evenings:

  • Oct. 5 and 12 at 6–9 pm ET (the first two sessions are longer to include Q&A)
  • Oct. 19 and 26 at 6–8:30 pm ET


This workshop will include digital printouts and Bonus Joint Freeing Series Practice Videos.

You will have access to the video recordings for 6 weeks after the program ends, until December 7, 2021.

In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Online Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm ET and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course. 

Continuing Education (CE) Opportunities


This Part 1 program will give you a foundation for your practice, while Part 2 (which will be offered in March 2022) will cover therapeutics and a deeper study of anatomy.

Presenter

RYT 500, ATT Hope Mell

Hope's passion and purpose are helping people find freedom in their bodies—freedom of movement and movement without pain.

She found Integral Yoga® in 1967 and began her studies with Sri Swami Satchidananda. She was certified to teach Integral Yoga Hatha in 1974. Marjorie Barstow came into Hope’s life in 1979, who taught her The Alexander Technique. She was certified to teach by the Alexander Alliance in Philadelphia in 1988. Hope earned her certification as a Structural Yoga Therapy teacher in 2005.

For decades, she has refined her skills and developed an approach that combines the powers of Yoga and the Alexander Technique. Hope’s dream is that everyone has enough freedom in their lives to fully live their purpose.
