Why Yoga Play is Essential for Inner Calm

As adults, rediscovering the joy of play can feel far removed from our daily grind. But what if returning to that childlike playfulness could be the key to reducing stress and anxiety? Welcome to a session that invites you to embrace exploration and curiosity through yoga!

Kelly Mortensen, a yoga teacher from Houston, shares her insights into why play should be at the heart of your yoga practice. In this session, you’ll find yourself letting go of traditional rules, experiencing your own flow, and discovering a new way to cultivate inner peace.

What You'll Learn from Kelly Mortensen

Kelly Mortensen, in the Joy of Messy Creativity Retreat, offers more than just yoga poses; she offers a new perspective. You’ll explore poses in a way that suits your body, encouraging creativity and unique movement. Discover how play leads to innovation, whether it’s through experimenting with classic poses like Cat and Cow or finding balance in Warrior II with new variations.

Learn to appreciate the process of yoga as a personal journey and to honor your body’s innate ability to express and relieve stress through movement. Kelly Mortensen’s session will leave you inspired to reintroduce play into your daily activities, sparking creativity and joy in unexpected places.

A New Way to Think About Yoga

This session isn’t just about yoga; it's a reinvention of how we engage with life. Imagine yoga not as a set of rules to follow, but as an adventure to embark upon. You'll have the freedom to explore what feels good, nourishing your body and mind without constraint.

MEET THE AUTHOR,
STEPH BLAKE

For years, I poured everything into building my business and raising my family—until I realized I lost a part of myself in the process.

I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

But as life got busier, that creativity took a backseat to client work, to-do lists, and the daily demands of running a business and being a mom.

One day, I decided to slowly start creating again—just for myself.

I explored new hobbies to get a quick dopamine hit for my ADHD brain with no expectations or pressure. And everything changed.

Tapping back into creativity became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel connected to myself!

Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom!
