Building & Preserving your Personal Boundaries

Please pre-register to join here- we'll send you a Zoom link to join on the day of the event!

Understanding how to set personal limits is essential for building and maintaining healthy relationships.  Knowing and defending our boundaries is a positive and nourishing way to take care of ourselves and preserve our personal values throughout life's challenges.  When we understand how to set and maintain healthy boundaries we avoid feelings of resentment, disappointment and anger that build up when we're pushed beyond appropriate limits.

In this online offering, we'll explore different types of boundaries and their potential results. We'll reach into our Mindful Practices toolkit to ground the journey in an embodied approach by way of breathwork, gentle movement, lecture, discussion, writing, breathwork, visualization and end with a brief guided meditation.

About the Instructor, Gretchen Williams: 

Discovering and developing my Yoga practice helped me create a more nourishing relationship with my body after years of athletic competition, which lead to various injuries and a poor relationship with food.  Through Yogic philosophy, I’ve learned how to create both better relationships with myself, but also within my community.  

After 10 years of daily practice, I began teaching Yoga in 2014, first for several years in New York City, before teaching in a beach town on the Pacific Coast of Mexico where I became certified in Therapeutic Thai Massage. Thanks to my partner, a longtime local, I made Telluride my home in the Fall of 2020.  I teach group classes at our local studio, Practice, as well as a few private teenage clients both in person and online.

Helping students feel better in their bodies is my goal, and I work to blend both traditional yoga foundations with modern, science-based movement principles to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed, seen, and safe regardless of age, size or background.  My personal and professional mantra is “we’re here to help one another through this life”.
