Wintering Series

Friday Evenings, 6-7:15PM - 1/30, 2/6, & 2/13

A series that invites deep, subtle transformation through yin yoga, rest, and seasonal alignment.

Winter asks us to pull energy inward, conserve what’s precious, and tend our inner landscape the way the natural world tends its own. Yin gives us the perfect space for this - with long-held supported poses, quiet breath, and enough stillness for the body to soften and the nervous system to settle into safety.

Winter may seem quiet on the surface, but a lot is happening beneath. It’s a season of deep inner work and a liminal time where energy gathers below the soil, roots fortify, and new directions begin to form long before they’re visible.

This series mirrors what winter is already teaching all around us. Just as the earth slows down to restore itself, you’ll have space to simplify and soften so your own inner systems can replenish. As you rest more deliberately, without rushing or forcing, your body begins to rebuild energy the way roots draw strength underground.

In that quieter pace, clarity returns, capacity expands, and the earliest seeds of whatever wants to grow next in you can finally take hold.

Limited to 12 students. Because of the intimate group size, refunds aren’t available within 48 hours of the class start date. You’re welcome to transfer your spot to another person.

Self Devotion: A Valentine’s Ritual

Sunday Evening, February 15. 4:30-6:00PM

This Valentine’s Day weekend, step into an evening devoted entirely to you.

We’ll begin with a slow, grounding practice to settle your nervous system and soften into the body. This practice will work to gently awaken the heart center (Anahata Chakra), the energetic home of compassion, forgiveness, and inner connection.

From that steadier place we'll move into a simple, heartfelt ceremony writing personal vows to yourself, naming what you’re ready to release, and honoring what you’re ready to welcome in.

You’ll leave with a symbolic handfasting ribbon and a vow you can return to anytime you forget your own worth. 

Valentine's Day is so often about other people. This year, let it be about the relationship that has carried you through every chapter of your life: the relationship with yourself.

Tea & Tranquility: Yin, Reiki, and Herbal Support

Sunday Evening, February 22. 4:00-6:00PM

Join us for a relaxing collaboration with herbalist and Reiki Master Cindy Ross and yoga teacher Kristina Gaito for an evening designed to help you rest deeply and learn how to support your body during busy or stressful times.

We’ll begin with a slow yin class designed to help you settle, soften, and feel supported.
As the body relaxes, the nervous system follows, making space for ease, breath, and rest.

We'll have an extended savasana (relaxation) where you'll have the option to experience reiki using either a hands on or off approach - depending on your comfort.

After practice, we’ll shift into the tea portion of the evening. Cindy will guide you through tasting a selection of warm herbal teas (plus a cool option if you prefer it), sharing what adaptogens are, how they support the nervous system, and practical ways to weave them into your everyday life. This is not a technical herbal lecture but a grounding and accessible discussion, with space for conversation, questions, and connection.

You will take home a small tea sample and a simple yin-at-home handout so you can continue the experience beyond the studio.

This workshop is perfect for anyone craving rest, simplicity, and a slower pace. No previous yoga or herbal experience is needed, just a willingness to settle in and be supported.
