Wind your week down at 7 p.m. Thursday with a 90 minute Nidra Flow. David’s Deep Rest workshop blends two powerful aspects of yoga: gentle, flowing movement and the deeply restorative power of Yoga Nidra.

After a brief warmup, relax into a guided meditation often described as yogic sleep, which is known to enhance sleep, reduce stress, and foster emotional balance.

Spots are $30 per person. Register through the link in our bio.

This week, our focus is loving kindness—toward ourselves and toward one another.

Join us at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14 for Together in Flow: A Valentine’s Day Partner Practice, a workshop designed to explore connection through supported movement, shared presence, and intentional moments of care. This practice is open to all kinds of pairs, not just romantic partners. Come with a friend, family member, or anyone you feel deeply connected to, and experience how yoga can strengthen bonds both on and off the mat.

Making space for creativity or mindfulness this year? You can do both this Saturday at a vision board workshop at Namaskar.

founder Carly Lochmandy is a certified yoga teacher whose program incorporates the art of collage with guided visualization and mediation.

“Art and yoga have the same goals. Both practices invite you out of your head and into your body,” Carly said. “Movement can loosen what’s stuck, and art gives it somewhere to land.”

No artistic skill or experience are required to participate and all supplies are provided. Carly said developing a creative practice can help to relieve stress, as well as inspire engagement and curiosity throughout your daily life. At the end of the practice you’ll have created a tangible visual anchor which reflects your goals for 2026.

“A new year naturally creates a pause,” Carly said. “A moment where we can step back and ask how we actually want to feel and show up for ourselves.”

Carly’s Clarify & Manifest: A Vision Board Workshop for 2026 will take place from 12:45-3:30 p.m. Jan. 10 at Namaskar Yoga Studio.
