This class explores fundamental movement patterns often left behind in adult practice: skipping, jumping, crawling, and balancing. Through simple, accessible progressions, you’ll reconnect with the body’s natural coordination and capacity for varied, adaptable movement. The focus is on direct experience. We’ll build strength, mobility, and awareness while reintroducing a sense of ease and responsiveness in the body. Expect to move in different planes, work with balance and timing, and engage your whole system in ways that carry into everyday life. Also, expect to laugh and access genuine joy!
Spend a sacred afternoon reconnecting with your heart, your breath, and the deeper rhythms of your life. This heart-opening yoga experience is inspired by the Celtic Triple Goddess—Maiden, Mother, and Crone—ancient archetypes that reflect the natural cycles of becoming, creating, and transforming. Through mindful movement, gentle heart-opening postures, breathwork, meditation, and reflective ritual, you’ll be guided to explore these energies within yourself.
The Maiden invites curiosity and new beginnings, the Mother embodies nourishment and creation, and the Crone offers wisdom, truth, and deep inner knowing.
This afternoon practice is designed to soften what feels heavy, awaken what feels closed, and reconnect you to the steady intelligence of your heart. Expect a nourishing flow that balances gentle strength with spacious rest, leaving you feeling open, grounded, and more fully yourself. You will learn:
• The meaning and symbolism of the Celtic Triple Goddess: Maiden, Mother, Crone • Heart-opening yoga postures that support emotional release and vitality • Breath and mindfulness practices to cultivate presence and self-compassion • How to honor personal cycles of growth, rest, and transformation • Simple reflective practices to integrate awareness into everyday life
Props Needed: Please bring: • Yoga mat • Two blocks • Bolster (recommended, optional) • Blanket • Journal and pen (optional for reflection) • Water bottle
Arrive as you are and allow the afternoon to become a doorway back into your heart—where strength, softness, and wisdom meet.
This gentle vinyasa flow invites you into a slower, more attentive rhythm of movement, guided by the resonance of singing bowls. The practice emphasizes soft transitions, breath awareness, and spacious pacing, creating room to feel rather than perform. With a focus on heart-opening postures, we’ll explore both physical and subtle dimensions of opening—through the chest, shoulders, and the deeper inner landscape. The sound of the bowls supports a settling of the nervous system, helping you stay present to sensation, emotion, and breath as they arise.
In this playful, floor-based practice, we'll roll and spiral through a sequence that connects the body's many foundations—belly, back, side, seated, and more. Along the way, you'll discover movement patterns that feel intuitive, efficient, andsurprisingly fun.
This class invites curiosity, expanding your movement vocabulary and revealing new ways to move with greater ease and adaptability—on your mat and in everyday life.
No experience is necessary—all levels are welcome.
