Explore the fundamentals of yoga as you are carefully guided through an alignment-based exploration of yoga asana. Lest we begin to take ourselves too seriously, a bit of laughter from time to time is strongly encouraged.

As winter lingers and the promise of spring begins to stir, Roots to Rise invites you on a journey of gentle awakening. This eight-week yoga series is designed to help you ground, reflect, and prepare for the season of growth ahead.  Each week, we’ll explore a unique theme inspired by the energy of the season, from self-love and forgiveness to cultivating joy and abundance. This series creates a nurturing space to reconnect with yourself and the rhythms of nature through grounding poses, gentle movement, Reiki-focused energy work, and herbal inclusions. With a blend of heart-opening practices, balancing postures, and mindful reflection, Roots to Rise offers the perfect way to stay centered and warm during the final stretch of winter while preparing your body, mind, and spirit to rise with the light of spring.

As with life, class begins with the breath, from there we will lay a good foundation on our mats for a thoughtfully sequenced set of classic yoga poses in the Iyengar tradition. Places of stability and flexibility will be examined and feed the final sequence of class and always end with time to feel the residue of practice in savasana. Whether you are totally new to yoga, a relatively unbendy human, or an experienced practitioner, this class will have you tune into your body and thread the connections between the work we do on the mat to feed our work off the mat.

Immerse yourself in the gentle embrace of soothing vibrations from singing bowls, chimes, and more, complemented by tender hands-on Reiki. Let the harmonious sounds wash over you, guiding you to realign your chakras and create a space for deep rest and rejuvenation.

Our bodies often carry the weight of accumulated energy and emotions that long to be expressed or released. Usui Reiki, an ancient Japanese practice, lovingly combines energy work with chakra balancing to foster relaxation, alleviate stress, and encourage healing.

Research highlights the profound impact of sound on our well-being, offering soothing relief from anxiety, tension, and mental fog. It has the power to calm and quiet the mind, inviting a serene sense of peace and clarity into your experience.  Give yourself the gift of these few hours to go inward to renew yourself.

Inspiration: The Breath is a yoga workshop that will focus on breath awareness techniques to bring a sense of spaciousness to your body, mind, & spirit. There will be an educational component to this workshop: we'll take some time at the start of the workshop to discuss some breathing mechanics in relation to the primary breathing muscle, the diaphragm. The majority of the workshop will be spent experiencing how it feels to move in rhythm with your breath, to embody your breath, and to work with some directed breathing practices in yoga poses to feel a little more alive. We'll end the workshop with a guided meditation, followed by a restorative savasana.

Come learn fusing simple breathing (pranayama), postures (asana) and meditation founded on Kundalini and Vinyasa flow practices. This class is open to all. Class content will be sent by email prior to each session.
