✨We’re so excited for this special class at the end of this month!
Yoga Nidra — Rest in the Quiet Light
🕯Tuesday, November 25 at 8:30pm with Julie Premo.
A late-night Yoga Nidra to help you melt into stillness and drift off like a cloud.
This class invites you to surrender completely — guided through layers of relaxation until the body is asleep but the mind remains gently aware.
A dim room, soft candlelight, and gentle sound will surround you as you journey inward. 🌙
We have all the cozy props you need — just bring yourself.
Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” offers profound rest for the nervous system, helping to reduce stress, improve sleep, and restore balance to body and mind.
The perfect complement to our 7:00pm Yin & Restorative — a night of pure stillness and surrender.
Reserve your spot! ✨🙏🏼

Full moons make life feel louder.
Emotions. Thoughts. Energy. All of it.
If you’re feeling that pull, it’s okay. Your body is moving with the rhythm of the moon. 🌕
Rest. Breathe.
Let it move through you.

November Energy🍂✨
Soft focus.
Resting your gaze on what really matters.
Intentional warmth.
Cups of tea, slow mornings, deep breaths.
Gratitude in motion.
Small acts of presence that anchor you.
Boundaries as peace.
Saying no without guilt, saying yes with ease.
Grace as practice.
Meeting yourself gently: again and again
🍂✨
Before the holidays, before the rush, let this be your reminder:
You don’t have to do it all.
You don’t have to be everything for everyone.
Give yourself grace for the undone lists, the slow mornings, the moments you choose rest over productivity.
Grace is the gentlest form of self-love.🤍

Mindfulness Tip:
When you feel yourself rushing, whisper a quiet “thank you” for the moment you’re in.
Presence grows through appreciation.

✨Power & Peace
This special class has everything you need. Movement. Stillness. Sound.
We begin with strength.
A powerful, full-body Pilates practice that energizes the system, releases tension, and connects breath with intentional movement.
We soften into stillness.
Restorative yoga for grounding the nervous system and creating space to turn inward.
We close with sound.
Letting vibration settle into every cell, guiding you into deep rest and renewal.
Each phase plays a role.
Each one is medicine.
Together, they bring balance to body, mind, and spirit.
Join us on the mat and feel the shift.
