Seed Bead Earring Workshop:

(2 x 90 minutes sessions)

We are all creative beings, yet within the hustle and bustle of life, we sometimes forget it. This workshop is designed for you if you’re ready to rekindle or strengthen your creative potential. In these workshops, we will create a pair of seed bead earrings. Setting an intention and using creativity as a form of meditation. There is nothing more magical than a piece of art created by you in a magical place with a beautiful group of people.

This will be a fun 2×90 minute arts and crafts event! This workshop is brought to you by Colleen Navas (Leslie’s 2025 assistant). Colleen found seed beading as a form of meditation when she was going through a challenging time in her life. She is excited to share her expertise and how it has transformed her. Colleen will guide you through a consecutive two day workshop where you will make one very intricate pair of beautiful earrings. This workshop is accessible for complete beginners and you will walk out with a pair of earrings at a 50-75$ retail value.

The price is $85 for the two 90 minute sessions, and this includes the materials for your earrings.

 

Deepen Your Practice

(2 x 90 minutes sessions)

We will travel through the depths of our being in this 2 part workshop. We will explore the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the yoga tradition.

 Overall, we will dive deeper and deeper into our energetic body and see what seeds of intention we can plant into our futures while deepening our asana (postures) as well as letting go of anything limiting us from the healing we seek.

First, we will move into the chakras, with a body movement class that focuses on how our energy works, what it looks like, and we will learn to build practices to strengthen and heal our chakras. At the same time we will integrate the yoga sutras where we will dive deeper into our minds, how they work, how we can work to quiet the mind. We will learn how to use yogic tools to build discipline in our lives and we will also work on more advanced postures and hyper-focus on how we can become stronger more powerful yogis.

In our second session we will manifest our future selves. We will create a huge intention called a sankalpa in yoga. This huge intention we will then seed into our subconscious mind through the practice of yoga nidra (or a type of yoga sleep). Be prepared for a very high energy workshop physically on day 1 followed by a very high mental energy challenging class on day 2. We will finish day 2 with a sound healing session and a yoga “sleep” session or more accurately a yoga nidra session diving into our subconscious. Through this series we will plant the seeds of our future selves and put to rest any limiting beliefs of our past.

Join us for both of these sessions to get the most out of these yogic tools. Through these rituals and routines it will become a little bit easier to take care of ourselves on a regular basis.

We will move through ways to build this depth into our yoga practice in an accessible daily practice that will help energy flow with more ease through your life.

The price is $45 for each, or $75 for both.

Leslie Lutsch

Leslie Lutsch lives in the highest city in Colorado right in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. She is in love with the mountains. Born a midwestern girl accustomed to the cold, she fell in love with a place that offered the seasons and also is a haven for outdoor junkies. She skis every winter, working at a small town ski resort, and in the summer she works at a river rafting company… nature truly rules her world.

Leslie began seriously studying yoga 10 years ago where she first travelled on her journey to Anamaya to learn from her amazing teacher, Banyan Gallagher, the ancient practice and art of yoga. Through this experience her heart opened and in her “regular” life she noticed her ability to be more mindful, aware, and compassionate and this in turn helped her build up to the current state of peace she experiences in her life, which she knows with yoga is and will remain ever expanding. She is also still very curious to learn more, she maintains her drive as a student in this rabbit hole of yogic knowledge.

After almost one decade of visiting the retreat center at Anamaya for at least 1 month each year as a student, Leslie is honored to return and host her very own retreat. In 2014 she attended her first 200 YTT at Anamaya, it was life-changing, a pivotal moment in her life, in her own personal evolution, and in her journey as a human being. Shortly after that she followed her amazing teacher to Indonesia where she attended her 300 YTT, and of course she needed more so she soon went to India for her 500 YTT. Ironically, she did not stop there, she continued on to teach at Anamaya with her same teacher for 3 years as his teaching assistant for his 200 hour YTT intensives, she say’s “ It has all been life-changing to say the very very very least.

For 10 years Leslie has been teaching yoga and seriously practicing yoga; from running her own studio, to “slinging” it as a side gig, to virtual COVID friendly yoga, to workshops, donation yoga, even to horse yoga, and really EVERYTHING in between. She really cannot shake this practice and this is why she is so incredibly passionate about it. Yoga holds a space in her life to check in, stand up, hold herself accountable, and move towards her own evolution.

Leslie Loves to enjoy nature, travel, whitewater raft, rock climb, teach and practice yoga, ski, hike, bike, ice climb, you name it!!

She lives by the motto: “Live for the moments that take your breath away” -Deepak Chopra

Colleen Navas

Colleen is a mom of two young boys and has lived in San Diego for the past 9 years. She loves the warm weather and going to the beach. She hopes to share the love of California with her boys.

Colleen has been practicing yoga for the past 10 years. Her sister Leslie has inspired her to deepen her practice and learn as much as possible. She has grown into a yogi and continues to practice weekly. She also loves traveling and has been to over 7 countries and counting. She is excited to practice and assist Leslie in Costa Rica this coming March.

Colleen will also be hosting 2 seed beading workshops this week. She found seed beading/earring making through a very challenging time in her life. It became a form of meditation and healing for her. Through seed beading Colleen began to heal herself from her trauma and create beautiful pieces of art for the world to see. She is very excited to share her passion and teach seed beading to others.

“Anamaya is the best and most beautiful place to rejuvenate! I had the most amazing week. I cannot recommend Anamaya enough. I went as a solo traveler and had the best time. The food was incredible. I was blown away by how delicious, fresh, healthy and clean it all was. The whole week was a great balance of group activities plus time for solo adventures. This trip was the perfect was to disconnect, relax and rejuvenate.” – Eden
