Upcoming Events

Transformational Sound Bath
Saturday, Dec 6, 4–5:30 pm

Shambu (Andrew)

A sound bath is an immersive and healing sensory experience for the body, mind and soul. An array of Instruments that are tuned to specific healing frequencies are played while the group is lying down in a deeply relaxed meditative state. We begin the session by setting an intention for the journey, whether you need to manifest, release, shift or heal. Our intentions are followed by brief pranayama (breath work) and a short guided meditation before being serenaded in a high vibrational soundscape including singing bowls, chimes, gong, drum and more! Feel the effects of these potent healing vibrations for yourself and leave feeling a renewed sense of inner peace. 

All ages and abilities are welcome, wear comfortable clothes and arrive with an open heart and mind!

Caleigh’s Gentle + Restorative class is the perfect way to nourish and restore the body, psyche and nervous system. A lovely complement to more active styles of yoga practice, the class is taught in a supportive environment and open to all levels, for anyone looking for a quiet practice. Props (bolsters, blankets, blocks) are used liberally to support the body. This nourishing support allows you to eliminate strain and open the body through passive stretching.

Trance Dance
Friday, December 19, 7–8:30 pm

Rahel Kühne

Offered the third Friday of each month, Trance Dance is a 40,000-year-old shamanic healing art, carried through time as a way to reconnect body, mind, and spirit. In modern lives, we often hold on to stress, emotions, and tension for far too long. What we don’t release gets stored in our tissues and cells—over time, the body grows heavy, even sick.

In Trance Dance, we use world music and a simple breathing rhythm to let go of control and allow the body to move by itself. When the body moves freely, healing happens naturally. Movements arise from within, guiding us into release, renewal, and flow. As the body unwinds, the mind begins its own journey. Emotions may surface, visions may appear, or you may simply feel the joy of movement. Whatever arises is welcome—it is part of your own unique dance.

Each journey is different: playful and light for some, deeply transformative for others. You remain aware of the room and the community around you, while traveling into your inner landscape. Many leave feeling lighter, more open, and alive.

No dance experience needed
Not recommended for those currently experiencing schizophrenia or psychosis.

Advanced Yoga Series
Saturdays, 2–3:45 pm
January 3–31

Miriah

This advanced yoga series is designed for experienced yogis seeking to deepen their practice through exploration of challenging poses and sequencing. Each class will build towards a specific peak pose or family of poses paying close attention to alignment principles. While yoga asana is the focus, we will expand our understanding of movement additionally drawing upon the adjunct practices of pilates, barre, strength training and somatics. This series is overarchingly intended to support functional movement and braid together strength of body with mind as we intentionally step to the edge and challenge our perceived limits of capability. Come with questions and curiosity and an openness to get cozy with the discomfort that proceeds growth and change!

$100 for 5 week series if paid by December 24; $110 thereafter. Register
