Breath and Bliss

A New Moon Intantional Gathering

Join us each New Moon for Breath and Bliss, a sacred space to pause, breathe, and realign with the natural rhythms of the Moon.

Each gathering you will be expertly guide through intentional breathwork and meditation designed to help you release, reset, and plant new seeds of intention in harmony with the lunar cycle.

As the New Moon invites stillness and renewal, we’ll explore the power of the breath to ground the body, calm the mind, and awaken the heart. Together, we’ll cultivate clarity, connection, and inner peace — aligning our energy with the quiet magic of new beginnings.

✨ What to expect:

Guided breathwork for balance and presence

Gentle meditation and intention setting

Connection with lunar energy and natural rhythms

A nurturing space for reflection and renewal

Come as you are. Leave with a renewed sense of calm, clarity, and connection.

$20/ class; $10 students

Space is limited at the Shanthi Way Studio, so sign up soon.

Attend one, a few, or all four gatherings. Those who join all four New Moon sessions will be entered into a raffle to receive a beautiful, semi-precious stone mala handcrafted in India.

✨ Pranic Healing Practice for When You’re Sick or Injured ✨
Lie down in a comfortable position and allow your body to rest.
Take 3 slow, deep breaths.
Now, gently imagine your body moving through yoga poses that feel nourishing and supportive—no effort, just ease and imagination.
Take 3 more full breaths and begin to visualize life-force energy (prana) flowing through your body. This may appear as light, color, warmth, sound, or whatever feels most natural to you.
Imagine this healing energy moving exactly where it’s needed, supporting your health, restoration, and healing.
Simple. Gentle. Powerful. 💛

Happy Thanksgiving! Just a few of the things I'm grateful for. Friends, family, four legged babies, and living in such a beautiful place in the high country. l

I’ve just returned home from traveling, studying, and practicing in the birthplace of yoga—India. Time there feels fluid, and any expectations of what might or should happen quickly become irrelevant. Incredible India—and the universe—has her own timing and plans, ones that rarely match what I think should unfold.

So I learned to let go… and then let go again. To surrender to what is instead of listening to the familiar stories my mind loves to repeat like a scratched record.

Layer by layer, I surrendered into the flow—anchored by daily asana (postures), pranayama (breath control,) kriya (purposeful action) and meditation—and something beautiful happened. A remembering. A deep, cellular knowing that I am already whole and complete. That there is nothing to strive for, no worth to prove. When the stories of lack fall away, what remains is a fullness of being.

Living and moving in Love. Letting Love move through me.
This is coming home.

This Tuesday night, I’ll be sharing a class themed around coming home as we move through a mindful flow of asana, breath, and stillness. A practice designed to leave you full, complete, and connected as we move beyond the limits of the ego, tune into universal flow, and open to our essential nature—beyond bliss. Coming home to ourselves.

Tuesday, November 18th
5:30–6:45 pm

In-person + virtual options available.
I would love to share this practice with you.

In love with this gorgeous, vibrant, colorful and deeply spiritual country, India. Thousands meet on the banks of the Ganga River every night to pay honor to the river of life that flows from the Himalayas and provides water to millions of people. .
