Family Yoga

In celebration of family and little yogis, we’re hosting our annual 60-minute, all-ages, non-heated Modo class where kids 12 and under practice free for Family Day.

The whole family is invited to participate in this room-temperature class as we loosely move through the Modo sequence. As always, we’ll focus on making yoga accessible to all, encouraging a connective experience for everyone in the room. Come dressed to stretch, and willing to let go and have fun!

Anyone attending must fill out an online waiver via our website, or in-person at the studio. Children under 18 years of age must have a parent/guardian present and their waiver endorsed by their caregiver.

Reserve your spot here!

Full Moon Practice & Ritual

A full moon is a powerfully healing time – it happens when the Moon (the seat of our emotions) is bathed in the clarifying, brilliant light of the sun. As our emotions come to the surface to be worked through, we have the opportunity to let go of any unsettled or unresolved feelings- to be fully engaged in our lives and to harvest new realizations. In this class, we will incorporate a dynamic vinyasa practice to move and release blocked chakras, as well as dive into deeply restorative poses to ground our bodies and release stored emotions that we are holding onto from this lunar cycle. Finally, we will close together with a full moon ritual inspired by where the moon is in its current cycle and which chakras are likely to be affected at that time.

All class passes accepted. This class happens once per month on the Sunday before the full moon at 7:45-9pm.

UPCOMING DATES: February 9, March 8, April 5, May 3 & May 31 (on or before the full moon)

Women's Circle with Simone

Women have been gathering in circles since the beginning of time to share experiences, stories, thoughts, ideas, and prayers. Women’s Circles offer a safe and gentle space for women of all ages and backgrounds to come together to share.

The structure includes any or all of the following: opening meditation, intention setting, introductions, sharing, journaling, movement, closing meditation.

This circle is open to ALL female-identified and trans-feminine folk.

Men's Circle with Don

This supportive gathering provides a rare opportunity for men of all stripes to share the burdens and blessings of being men. Without shame or guilt, we will learn how to express the deeper parts of ourselves, our wants and needs, and to let go of harmful roles assigned to us. We will better learn how to live and interact in a more whole and vibrant way with our planet and all who walk upon it.
