Embrace the season’s changes with nature’s invitation to slow down and turn inward. Learn about the abundance of simplicity and the power of disconnection during this intimate session at The Morton Arboretum. When all of nature is preparing for dormancy, learn how less is so much more. Participants will experience the process of tea making as a meditation. The practice is inspired by Chinese tea ceremony and incorporates elements of Zen philosophy, yogic philosophy, Taoism, and Japanese tea culture.
Be prepared to sit for the majority of our practice while we taste teas and enjoy the environment.

Instructor
Titi Joerres, yoga instructor
Titi Joerres has been a dedicated student of yoga since the early 2000s and has learned to apply yoga in all aspects of her life, on and off the mat. She has a master’s degree in education and yoga certification (over 500 hours). She is nearing completion of qi gong training. She is known for her terrible dad jokes and her childlike spirit and for the space she creates that allows students to be playful, let go, and connect to their true selves. At the same time, her calm demeanor invites students to slow down and embrace the beauties of life through simplicity. Mentored by Gabriel Halpern, Chicago’s “Grandfather of Yoga,” she aspires to stay true to yoga’s original roots by finding ways to incorporate all eight limbs of yoga in class. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all students have access to yoga practices regardless of background, in hopes that all students walk away with their most authentic selves.
