Yoga and medicinal mushrooms have a mutualistic relationship and their benefits are heightened when combined. This workshop is designed to provide a close look at Cordyceps mushrooms and how their healing qualities can be tangibly experienced through a yoga sequence. Through breathwork, meditation, asana and sound, this sequence will focus on amplifying energy and sensuality, intentionally crafted to target the solar plexus and sacral chakras.

Dre Mershad (they/them) is an active mushroom enthusiast and 550hr+ trained yoga instructor. Simultaneous to teaching yoga, they have spent years studying, cultivating, and exploring mushrooms and their benefits. They are currently earning a certification to guide and provide harm reduction services for people wishing to embark on psilocybin journeys.

This workshop is a part of a series, where Dre hopes to awaken their community to the benefits of all fungi, including Reishi, Turkey tail, Chaga and more.
