The fullness of summer invites us to explore our potential - both material and spiritual. Retreat from the busy energy of the city for a bit and come into yourself for some respite and relief.

Guided through a few minutes of gentle, simple opening movements and breath work, your body and mind will be better prepared to relax. Listen to Rachel's voice as she guides you deeper and deeper into yourself. There, the sound provided by Evelyn will allow you to wash away any subtle tensions you choose to release.

When you leave, you will be ready to relax into the full vitality and richness of the summer season. Your own inner power recharged.

In our intimate studio, we have space for only 8 participants at these special quarterly events. Spots go quickly and for this reason, we are not able to offer any refunds after booking. All sales are final.

All-Access Members get 20% off. Book soon to save your spot!

Looking for a more restful and easeful sleep? Ayurveda may be helpful to you.

Explore your Dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) - this can help you learn whether you tend to run hot or cold, whether you sleep deeply or are lighter sleeper, and much more.

Do your best to create routine. Sleeping and waking around the same time each day can help balance your particular Dosha and lead to more restful sleep.

Ensure your room is warm enough or cool enough, and adjust layers and blankets as needed.

Abhyanga - Ayurvedia oil massage - can be done to yourself by yourself right at home. Even just a few minutes can increase relaxation of the muscles and the mind before it is time for bed.

A Yoga and/or Pranayama practice can benefit all Doshas before bedtime. Try Nadi Shodhana - opposite nostril breathing - to regulate and calm your breathing before you lie down in bed. Viparita Karani or legs up the wall pose can be a wonderful break for your legs and feet after a long day and can help ease lower body inflammation or swelling before sleep.

✨ Meet Mandi! ✨

Mandi joined our team this spring and now leads the Monday 7am All Levels Yoga class! Read about Mandi below and on our blog!

What is your approach to teaching?
I am passionate about creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere in my yoga classes, where all students feel respected. I believe that yoga is for everyone - no matter your race, body type, economic background, language, or gender. Representation and accessibility matter, and I aim to uplift all voices in my classes. I enjoy teaching yoga as a tool for personal growth and helping students feel more confident and empathetic towards one another, and themselves.

✨PERCEPTION✨

Yoga Sutra 4.9
Jāti deśa kāla vyavahitānām apy ānantaryaṃ smṛti saṃskārayor ekarūpatvāt
Even though birth, place and time separate us, the continuity between memory and subliminal impressions (samskaras) gives us a common identity.

Understanding the nature of time frees us from the feedback loop of cause and effect. We understand that the previous moment when we didn’t have the object of our desire is ultimately the same as the next moment, when we did. Nature may have shifted but really, it’s all the same.

Join Aki on Sunday May 31st at 1pm for a Props Workshop!

There's a million ways to use props in our yoga practice and most classes only skim the surface.

This workshop will give us ample time to explore the many ways we can use props to deepen postures while maintaining proper alignment within our bodies. Participants will leave with a sense of space and strength within their bodies and a new understanding of how they can incorporate props into their daily practice.

Open to all levels of yogis from beginner to advanced. The beauty of props is that they allow us to tailor our practice to ourselves!
