Took a little holiday from this app to fill actual, physical pages with half-ass ideas and messy observations. It’s good to be back…with zero intentions of being polished or profound.

What to expect:
This class is a gentle journey designed for everyone to refresh their mind and body. In our busy lives, energy can feel scattered or depleted. This is an invitation to gather that energy, gently release what no longer serves you, and invite in a renewed sense of peace and vitality.

This practice blends restorative yoga with the subtle, healing energy of Reiki. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive therapy involving light hand placement (or hovering hands-off) by the practitioner to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support your body's natural healing abilities. As part of this experience, Amber will be offering Reiki to each student during the class.

We'll begin with a grounding and intention-setting meditation and a guided self-Reiki session to help you connect with your inner energy. We emphasize listening to your body, using props generously for comfort and release, and connecting with your body and breath.

Come open yourself to this energetic reset and embrace healing and well-being.
