FEEL IT ALL 3-Day Yoga Workshop Weekend with Meghan Currie – 28. – 30.6.2024
One of the most amazing opportunities in this life is to feel. Our feelings can be our guides, our teachers, and powerful catalysts for learning, action and change.
There’s a higher purpose and intelligence woven through the mosaic of our experiences. It’s a dance for each of us to learn in our own unique way; the dance of navigating how to empower ourselves, and each other, to fully inhabit our body-mind in the present moment. This dance can be transformative, personally and collectively.
Allowing what’s arising and expressing to be felt, builds a bridge of trust with oneself and life. It cultivates a powerful strength and inner knowing that whatever is going on, you can handle it. Not only handle it, but see the gift, knowing that there’s something bigger behind it, a purpose that ultimately generates growth, expansion and inspired action.
This weekend immersion is an opportunity to play, explore, connect and feel. Not a time out, but a time IN. To go deep together through movement, story, stillness and breath.
Although the classes are separate, they are designed as one single tapestry, woven together to take you on a journey through the layers of yourself. Through unique sequencing and breakdowns of posture, breath, and stillness, we will explore the flavors of what it means to feel it all.
Join me for a deep journey of re-engaging intimately through the miracle of the body.
Each class will take you layer by layer into the vast richness of your body in a comprehensive way, weaving in movement, metaphor and philosophy.
“Being human is an imperfect journey, and each moment is a tiny thread, mystically woven in the tapestry of our lives.”

Feel It All │Class Details
Take it as it Comes
“There would be no need for love if perfection were possible. Love arises from our imperfection, from our being different and always in need of the forgiveness, encouragement and that missing half of ourselves that we are searching for, as the Greek myth tells us, in order to complete ourselves.”
-Eugene Kennedy
Life teaches that everything is inherently imperfect and fleeting. If we can discover the beauty in irregularity and imperfection and let go of perfectionism we can learn to accept things as they come, appreciating beauty that is „imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete“ in nature.
To embrace the flaws of things, ourselves, and others: as imperfections make us beautiful, and our scars the things that most lend us wisdom, strength and grace.
“Imperfection is relatable.”
-Lauren Conrad
- Deconstruction of advanced Backbends & Twists
- Somatic presencing
- Progressive creative sequencing
Fluidify – Be Like Water
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
-Bruce Lee
Embracing the philosophy of water reminds us that adaptability is key to navigating life’s challenges. Water’s flexibility is its strength. It can take on various states – liquid, solid, or gas –depending on its environment. In our lives, flexibility and openness to change can be equally powerful.
- Sthira Sukham Asanam
- Deconstructed Arm Balances
- Fluid movement-Flowing into and out of postures
“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.”
-Alan Watts
Golden Joinery
“Our scars are what make us unique. Nothing broken is ever lost.”
– Adrienne Brodeur
Being human is an imperfect journey that’s not always comfortable, but it’s the imperfection and discomfort that creates the most beauty and wisdom, and can be the spark that generates inspiration and action in unexpected directions.
Some things are even more beautiful for having been broken. In life, love and relationships, it’s the challenges that make us stronger and allow us to rebuild and transform. We realize our full potential, what we are made of, by touching our thresholds and our life experiences leave mystical little imprints, tiny seeds, that create beautiful blossoms overtime.
In this workshop we will break things apart and join them back together with gold to rediscover the strength and beauty that is born out of imperfection.
- Inversions
- Breaking things apart and Joining key actions and elements
“Our lives do not go backward nor tarries with yesterday- for every wrinkled line is a road map of this journey- and every scar, a solemn decoration. It is perception that writes timeless poetry upon flesh and mind with quill dipped in golden ink…creating art despite the breaking- for that is when true beauty emerges.”
– Roxy St. Clair
Space to Feel – Soma
“Within yourself is a stillness, a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.”
— Hermann Hess
When we slow down and become quiet, yielding, and still, there is a dynamic inner universe we can discover. One that sometimes can get overpowered by the noise of our daily lives.
This class is designed to guide you inward to explore the subtle expressions of feeling. We will explore a recipe of deep hips openers and forward folds, yin & restorative poses to integrate and synthesize aspects from the previous classes, and unfold new insights.
Your nervous system will slip into sweet deep restoration, inner layers will soften, dissolve, melt and thaw, and you will find your calm as you unwind on the deepest level.
- Deep Hips & Forwards Folds
- Yin elements
- Meditation
- Breath work
- Santosha
“Even in stillness, there is movement. Sometimes it takes time for the molecules of change to shift form. Even when it feels like nothing is happening, transformation is taking place.”
— Anonymous
ABOUT MEGHAN CURRIE
Meghan Currie is a well-known yoga instructor with 20 years of experience in practicing yoga and 10 years of experience in teaching around the world. Her classes focus on breath-based movement techniques to help connect the mind and body. She also incorporates creativity and playfulness into her classes to encourage self-expression.
Meghan’s yoga style is an unexpected blend of strong and playful. Her movement is intuitive, dance-like, slow fluid style that uses breath awareness to deepen one’s connections somatically. Embodying curiosity, complexity, and whimsy to inject lighthearted deliciousness into sequences that are oftentimes quite physically challenging. The emphasis on breath creates a depth of bodily experiencing and a fluid meditative state that helps focus and still the mind while opening, aligning and toning the body.
Like any recipe, she believes there must be just the right amount of all the ingredients to produce the most epic flavor. When she teaches, she mixes herself with all other unpredictable and delicious ingredients to co-create with the universe and be a part of something grand. In her practice, awareness is consciously anchored in somatic experiencing moment to moment as this enables everything to be felt fully and processed as it comes up. The outcome is a growth, not only in physical strength, but also emotionally and mentally. The intention above all is an embracing of all the diverse aspects of oneself. Meghan regularly tours around the globe teaching yoga workshops, retreats and festivals. She believes that every student is also everyone’s teacher.
