Monthly Yoga Nidra with Dani
Wednesday, September 10th, 2025
6:00 - 7:00 PM
$23
Led By Dani Locastro
If you find it hard to switch off, this class is for you!
We all need more rest - achieving this however, can be very challenging, especially if you find it hard to relax, fall asleep, or stay asleep. This Yoga for Deep Rest class aims to support your body in fully relaxing, allowing the mind and body to soften and the nervous system to settle.
This class is about letting go of physical and mental stress, and encouraging your sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, freeze) to dial down and your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) to dial up - promoting balance and helping you to reset.
You will be guided into supportive asanas to relax the body, and then guided through a Yoga Nidra mediation, a special place of sleepless sleep where you listen to your internal pulse of just being, enhanced with essential oils.

5RHYTHMS Hudson Valley
Saturday, September 13th, 2025
5:00 - 6:30PM
$23
Second Saturday and last Saturday Every Month from 5pm - 6:30pm
Led by Peter Fodera, Stephanie Diamond and other Guest Teachers
5Rhythms is a dance practice created by the dancer/musician Gabrielle Roth in which participants gather in a supportive community, dancing instinctively to music, guided by a certified teacher/DJ. It is a combination between group meditation and dancing with the ecstatic abandon of someone who is absolutely certain they are all alone, but instead are in a supportive community. Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a brave space for each of us to shatter the egoās hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.
The 5Rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. Classes last two hours. They begin slow, the pace pick ups in the middle and end with a slow unwinding.
Wear clothes you can move in, dance barefoot or with indoor sneakers, bring a water bottle and your open heart. This is a drug and alcohol free practice.

As crystal bowls and chimes resonate, they echo the quiet rhythms of nature preparing for a new cycle. Each note feels like a grounding embrace, inviting you to release what no longer serves you and find peace in the turning of the seasons. In this sacred space, youāll feel rooted in the earthās steady pulse, embraced by the stillness and wisdom that autumn offers, and inspired to step gracefully into the next chapter of your journey.

Join herbalist Katya Varlamova for a heart-centered evening of connecting with comfrey (Symphytum officinale)āa beloved ally in the herbal tradition, often called āknitboneā for its age-old reputation in supporting the healing of tissues and bones.
Together, we will take time to commune with the spirit of comfrey, learning its qualities, gifts, and the ways it has been honored as a plant of deep regeneration and resilience.
Katya will guide participants in creating a luxurious and soothing healing salve made of comfrey, calendula and lavender, offering hands-on learning in traditional herbal preparation.
This workshop is both an introduction to comfreyās profound plant medicine and a chance to connect with herbal craft in community.
