Inserting read. Might make you think twice….

Kirtan returns to Breathe Together Yoga on Saturday, October 8th. Join in call-and-response chanting of the names of the divine.

I created an afternoon “live only” workshop and if you are local, please come. What is on the menu:

“Sunday, September 25th, experience a complete yoga practice with more personal attention than you’ve had since 2019. Offered only live in our studio, I will work with you individually, assist you (if you’d like to be), we’ll focus on innovative ways of propping 3-5 specific “seasonal postures,” practice with the breath, chant, meditate, experience yoga-nidra, & “writing meditation,” explore a creative practice together and well as enjoy an autumn tea blend from the Mandala Tea House.

It will be a beautiful day! Our time together is designed with a promise to “fill you up” and inspire your practice in the months ahead.

The Half-day retreat is Sept 25th from 1-4:45pm. Would it be better if you have an already existing practice? Yes. Is it enough if your practice is primarily movement based? Absolutely. Come!

Space is limited. Early bird pricing ends this Thursday, Sept 15th.

Come gather for a 3 hour nurturing and informational workshop including gentle movement and meditation, resource information and fellowship all focused around better navigating the concept of rest. Join Nancy Glover on Sat Oct 1st from 1-4pm for Radical Reset: A Rest Day Camp.

We'll explore our relationship to REST and why we need more of it in our lives. Learn a bit around the science of sleep and the history behind Yoga Nidra, the Yoga of Sleep. We will have time for introspection around our own relationship to Rest, and then come into a gentle yoga practice followed by a nurturing restful yoga nidra practice. Walk away with some tools and practices you can use any time you need more restful support and join a thoughtful community for tea and a light snack post practice.

Early bird pricing ends Sept 21st.

Have you ever thought about how your family's wounds affected how you move about in the world? So much happens in our childhood that affect our own patterns, reactions, and interactions with others. Our family's dynamics influence so much of our behavior, especially, in relationship with others. This new level of awareness can be life changing. Intergenerational Trauma is one of the most popular parts of this immersion and that’s because it’s necessary so we can deal with our own stuff intelligently and with compassion so we can love ourselves and others fully. Wanna learn more? Then join us this weekend for Yoga for Trauma Recovery. Sign up at Breathe together yoga.

Join Joanne Cunniff Varni and Rebekah Sohayla Tayebi for this this 30-hour intensive dedicated to helping you navigate trauma.

Learn how to use yoga and mindfulness techniques to work toward your own recovery, and, if you are a teacher or in the healing arts, you will become familiar with how to incorporate these modalities with populations who are recovering from physical and emotional trauma, including those who suffer from PTSD.

Course takes place August 12th-14th & August 19th-21st. Online & in-studio options available.

*Early bird pricing ends Aug 1st.*
