XL: Expressed | Yoga and Deep Conversations
With Elsa Vasselin
Ever find yourself holding back what you really want to say?
Do you sometimes find yourself caught between what you truly feel and what you actually express? Whether it's fear of disappointing others, uncertainty about your own needs, or simply not finding the right words, many of us spend more time filtering ourselves than expressing ourselves.
EXPRESSED invites you to reconnect with your authentic voice through movement, breath and meaningful conversation. In a warm and welcoming environment, you'll discover how yoga can become a powerful way to explore communication—not only with others, but also with yourself.
This workshop blends dynamic yoga, an Asana Lab and guided conversations to create space for curiosity, openness and genuine connection. Rather than striving for perfect poses, we'll use movement as a way to release physical and emotional tension, build confidence and create more freedom in both body and mind.
Expect dynamic yoga sequences featuring heart-opening postures such as Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel Pose) and Ustrasana (Camel Pose). Together we'll explore accessible variations that meet you where you are today, allowing you to safely experience the physical and emotional qualities of these poses. As always, the intention isn't to achieve the "perfect" shape, but to discover what the practice can teach you.
Following the physical practice, we'll create space for meaningful conversations inspired by yoga philosophy and the theme of authentic self-expression. Elsa is known for bringing real-life topics into her teaching, inviting reflection without judgement and creating an atmosphere where people feel safe to share, listen and learn from one another.
Together we'll explore questions such as:
What internal or external beliefs prevent me from expressing myself fully?
What emotions arise when I allow myself to be truly seen and heard?
How can I communicate my needs with greater honesty and confidence?
You'll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, practical tools to communicate more authentically, and the confidence to express yourself with greater openness—both on and off the mat.
Whether you're new to yoga or have been practising for years, this workshop offers an opportunity to move, reflect and connect in a way that extends far beyond the physical practice.
