- **Event Name**: Exploring a Peaceful Practice / Mimi Brainard
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This workshop is about learning how to feel supported and at ease in your body throughout your entire yoga practice. Together we will explore simple ways to use props and mindful alignment so that all postures, including seated ones, become more comfortable, steady, and peaceful.

In this 2‑hour workshop with Mimi Brainard, you will:

• Explore options and prop set‑ups that make a wide range of postures more accessible and sustainable for your body
• Learn how to reduce strain and “noise” in your body so your attention can rest on breath, focus, and inner experience
• Build confidence in adjusting your own practice, so you no longer feel confused when a teacher gives general cues
• Leave with practical strategies you can apply in any class to create a more fluid, grounded, and peaceful practice$

After more than 30 years of yoga practice, Mimi Brainard received her 200HR certification from Schuyler Grant and Kula Yoga Project and opened Root Yoga Studio in Old Lyme, CT. Soon after, Mimi began studying with Alison West at her renowned center, Yoga Union, and received the 100HR Basic Back Care certification.

The shift was significant. Never before had Mimi understood the importance of spinal health; nor had she recognized patterns of asymmetry in her own body, the impact of her adolescent head trauma on her nervous system, or years of personal abuse on her body. There was no turning back and from that point on, ropes, chairs, abundant props, very clear alignment and time for REST was the only way to practice. More recently and with the enormous guidance of Deborah Wolk and Jon Musgrave, Mimi completed the two part training with Elise Browning Miller and is a certified Yoga for Scoliosis Teacher.

Mimi owns and runs Root Yoga Studio in Hadlyme, CT which focuses on spinal health and scoliosis. She teaches weekly group classes and offers private instruction in her intimate, light-filled studio with a ropes wall. Please contact Mimi at mimi@rootyogastudio.com
