Explore art & yoga separately or take advantage of occasions when they are paired together. I have taken Terri's yin yoga class. I love the pace of yin because I have an inflammatory disease and double hip replacements; yin is a more deliberate and intentional workout for my body. Terri leads the class in a calming way, providing verbal cues about breathing as well as alternatives and modifications for poses.
I have attended 2 intuitive painting workshops by illume Expressive Arts. The company name is perfect because expression is what it's all about. I was intrigued by the concept, because I'm not an artist. The workshop is a safe place to express my feelings and emotions in my own way, creatively, with no judgement.

My name is Terri, and I'm on a mission to provide a safe space for others to own their own power, strength, and inner wisdom. I want you to find your voice, be heard, seen and valued for who you are, feeling comfortable in your own skin and confident to be your own unique self. My life experience made it easy and safe to become invisible, swallowed up, hiding in the shadows.
Break a sweat in this cathartic, hot vinyasa class. Cultivate focus by tethering breath to strong yoga poses, static balances and optional inversions. A gentle form of yoga that can be done sitting in a chair or standing, using a chair for support. Mindfully move with your breath while carefully holding poses in this vinyasa style slow flow.
Give your tiny loved one an occasion to enhance their creativity and spark imagination. They will develop a bond with the the arts, increase self-awareness, expression, and confidence, in a safe non-judgmental environment. We begin the session with a brief description of intuitive painting (painting from imagination, creativity, the inner "voice") along with some guidelines.
Replenish your sense of health and self with relaxing and nourishing movement and essential oils. In this eight-session offering we will take yoga beyond the physical practice of the postures. We will follow the book by Deborah Adele, "The Yamas & Niyamas", inviting rich discussion, yoga, and the expressive arts into this experience.

Painting at Illume has been one of my favorite and most meaningful experiences in Champaign. Terri will introduce you to the process of intuitive painting, which allows you to become free from your inner critic and just have fun with the paint. There are no rules - you just get to explore and experiment. She has a warm welcoming presence, and often has really powerful activities planned for before / after the painting time. She will come around and help you if you get stuck, or ask you very thought-proving questions about your art, that allow you to see things in a new light. Each time I have gone

My 12-year-old grandson participated in an intuitive painting session with Terri and he absolutely loved it. He struggles with anxiety and ADHD and was pretty high strung when the session started, but Terri was able to help him settle in and relax. He came home feeling much more peaceful and is looking forward to returning.
