Mushroom Yoga: The Reishi Sequence with Dre

Yoga and medicinal fungi have a mutualistic relationship and their benefits are heightened when combined. This workshop is designed to provide a close look at the Reishi mushroom and how its healing qualities can be tangibly experienced through a yoga sequence. Through breath, meditation, postures and sound, this “Mushroom Masterclass” is inspired by the water element, and focuses on stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. Mushroom Yoga: The Reishi Sequence is intentionally crafted to target the heart and throat chakras.

Dre Mershad (they/them) is an active mushroom enthusiast and 650 hr+ trained yoga instructor. Simultaneous to teaching yoga, they have spent years studying, cultivating, and exploring mushrooms and their potentials. Dre is a certified psilocybin guide and is trained to provide harm reduction services for people wishing to embark on psilocybin journeys.

Mushroom Yoga is Dre’s approach to the synchronization of two potent healing modalities, yoga and medicinal fungi. This workshop is a part of a series where Dre intends to spread the benefits of Mushroom Yoga to their community and beyond.
