Embody: Feel, Heal, and Transform Through Movement

Join us for Embody, a transformative healing workshop designed to reconnect you with your body's innate wisdom and capacity for self-healing. Held at the serene Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, this Friday, October 23, 2026, event brings together two powerful healing modalities—yoga and qigong—led by acclaimed teachers Toni Bergins and Daisy Lee. Whether you're seeking stress relief, emotional release, or a deeper mind-body connection, this healing workshop event in Stockbridge offers a sanctuary for authentic transformation through mindful movement.

This is more than a typical fitness class. Embody is an immersive journey into somatic healing, where breath, body awareness, and intentional movement become the language of change. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and judgment-free—a space where your body's signals matter and healing happens naturally. Both teachers bring decades of expertise in unlocking stuck energy, releasing tension, and cultivating vitality from the inside out.

What to Expect

Arrive early to settle into the peaceful energy of Kripalu's healing sanctuary. As you find your spot on the mat, you'll feel the shift—the quieting of your mind, the grounding of your feet, the opening of possibility. The workshop flows seamlessly between Toni's dynamic, body-aware yoga sequences and Daisy's flowing qigong practices, each teacher offering their unique lens on embodied healing.

You'll move through carefully designed practices that encourage you to notice sensations without judgment, to breathe into areas of held tension, and to let your body express what your mind sometimes cannot. Expect gentle stretching, grounding breathwork, flowing movement patterns, and moments of stillness. The pacing allows time for integration—no rushing, no performance. By the end of the day, many participants report feeling lighter, more connected to themselves, and deeply nourished.

Bring water, wear comfortable layers, and come with curiosity. This healing workshop is designed for all levels, so whether you've never done yoga or you're an experienced practitioner, there's a place for you here.
