NEW WEEKLY CLASS! Power and Pause
Jan
11
to Mar 29

NEW WEEKLY CLASS! Power and Pause

This dynamic 75-minute yoga practice is designed to balance intensity and relaxation, guiding you through powerful and heat-building asanas followed by a soothing restorative sound bath to reset the body and mind.

We begin with 45 minutes of challenging asana practice that will build internal heat, energize the body, and deepen your focus. Expect a sequence of strong standing postures, core work, and
flowing vinyasa sequences that challenge both your strength and flexibility. With an emphasis on breath and presence, you’ll cultivate inner fire (agni) while engaging in deliberate, mindful movements. This section of the class is designed to challenge your endurance and build heat in
both body and mind, helping to release physical tension, improve circulation, and enhance mental clarity.

After the asana flow, we’ll transition into a 30-minute restorative sound bath experience, where you will be invited to fully relax and absorb the healing vibrations. Lying in supported restorative poses, you will be bathed in soothing sounds from crystal singing bowls, ocean drums, and
chimes that promote deep relaxation, release, and emotional healing. The vibrations help recalibrate your nervous system and enhance your sense of well-being, leaving you with a sense of peace and rejuvenation.

This class offers a perfect blend of effort and ease, allowing you to explore both the fire of your physical practice and the calm of restorative rest, helping you to emerge feeling centered, recharged, and balanced.

FREE Intro Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Join us for this intro to mindfulness stress based reduction and determine if this series is for you.

Mindfulness is the practice of present moment, non-judgmental awareness of one’s experience. MBSR, an 8-week course based on the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn and the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Center for Mindfulness, is taught at integrative health centers, universities and teaching hospitals worldwide.

Backed by neuroscience and ancient compassion-based practices, this highly participatory, evidence-based program combines meditation, mindful movement (gentle yoga), group discussion, and inquiry in a supportive learning environment to support participants in learning how to use mindfulness to relate differently to stress.

Practicing this powerful, integrative approach by tapping into and mobilizing innate inner resources for healing and well-being empowers participants to explore habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting, while learning practical ways to integrate mindfulness into daily life, and, to build and sustain a personal mindfulness practice. Studies indicate that mindfulness-based stress reduction programs can reduce anxiety and increase well-being and overall happiness. Mindfulness can be successfully learned and practiced by people of all backgrounds. No prior experience is necessary.

Winter Solstice Sound Journey

Slow Down, Reconnect, and Renew This Winter

Discover a fresh perspective on the season with a deeply restorative yoga practice, soothing guided meditation, and the healing vibrations of singing bowls.

If "celebrate" and "winter" don’t naturally align in your mind, this session is crafted just for you. And if you already cherish this time of year, you’ll leave with even more reasons to appreciate it. Amidst the busyness of the holidays, taking time for yourself can be the most productive and nourishing thing you do.

The Winter Solstice, marking the shortest day of the year, reminds us of the turning toward the light as daylight begins to grow. This sacred time invites us to celebrate the presence of Spirit and lean into faith and hope for the future, trusting that our visions will come to life.

With the sun’s transition into Capricorn, we are supported by feminine, grounded, and fruitful energy. This is a season of structure, discipline, and intentionality—a perfect backdrop for energizing new dreams and creating plans to bring them to fruition. As we embrace this cosmic energy, we find a container of discernment and stability to guide our next steps.

Join us to pause, realign, and renew as we honor the transformative power of the Winter Solstice.

Each pose is held for an extended period, allowing you to fully relax and release tension.

As you immerse yourself in the stillness of Yin Yoga, the soothing sounds of singing bowls and chimes will wash over you, creating a peaceful atmosphere that enhances your meditation and introspection. The resonant frequencies help to clear stagnant energy, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation, allowing for a holistic healing experience.

No prior experience is necessary—this class is suitable for all levels. Bring your mat,  and an open heart and mind. Let the combination of gentle movement and sound guide you to a place of inner peace and rejuvenation.

Aligning with Your Truest Self

Aligning with Your Truest Self

Your greatest healing and transformation comes when you begin to align more fully with your Truest Self. This is that aspect of you that is beyond personality, beyond ego, beyond conditioning. It remains deeply connected to All That Is, making it a wise and reliable source of compassion, insight, and understanding. As we reconnect to this aspect of self and follow its trustworthy guidance, we come into alignment with our own unique spiritual essence.

In this experiential workshop, we will use meditation, visualization, journaling, and healing practices to help you awaken your own connection to your Truest Self so you can live more fully from within the radiance of your own inner being.

Gratitude & Sound: Gentle Yoga with Singing Bowl Healing

Start your Thanksgiving morning with a heart full of gratitude and a body in balance. This all-levels class combines gentle yoga, calming meditation, and the powerful vibrations of singing bowls for a deeply restorative experience. As we reflect on gratitude, the soothing sounds will guide you into an extended savasana, creating harmony between body, mind, and spirit.

Through gentle movement and the healing resonance of the bowls, we’ll reset the nervous system, cultivating a sense of peace, balance, and resiliency that you can carry with you throughout the day. This practice is designed to help you receive and integrate the qualities of gratitude—leaving you grounded, centered, and full of light.

Bring your yoga mat, water, journal, and any comfort items (pillows, bolsters, blankets) to enhance your experience. Studio props are also available for use.
