The Space Between: Rooted in Winter ✨ Restorative Yoga & Crystal Bowl Sound Healing

Saturday, February 7th
🕰 2–3:30pm
💰 $30 members | $35 non-members
👥 20-person cap — advance sign-up required

Join Paige & Bri for our second immersive Restorative Yoga + Crystal Bowl Sound Healing, an experience rooted in the quiet intelligence of winter.

This season invites us into the space between—
a threshold between darkness and returning light.
The earth is still resting, yet something is quietly stirring beneath the surface.

Together we will explore: 🌟
• Presence and witnessing
• Sitting with sensation rather than fixing it
• Trusting what is gently forming
• Trusting the body’s innate wisdom
• Not clinging to what’s ending

As winter settles in, the novelty has worn off and spring still feels far away. The body may feel the weight of stillness. Through breath, sound, and supported rest, we’ll practice staying with sensation as it arises—observing tension and ease, constriction and softness—without needing to change anything.

Nothing to achieve.
Nowhere to go.
Just the practice of being with what is.

🖤 Reserve your spot early — space is limited.

NEW 💫 Join Bri and her son Levi for Family Yoga + Sound Healing 💓

This all-ages Family Yoga & Sound Healing class is a playful, nurturing space for families to move, breathe, and connect together. 🫶🏼

We’ll begin with gentle movement and yoga games designed to invite curiosity, laughter, and ease. Families will have the opportunity to try simple partner poses, explore movement together, and build trust through shared experience. The focus is not on doing poses “right,” but on being together in a supportive, lighthearted way.

Throughout the class, we’ll weave in gentle, age-appropriate practices that support connection, emotional safety, and the ability to move through big moments together through breath, touch, and presence. These are tools you can take home and use in everyday moments of stress, transition, or overwhelm. We’ll close with a soothing crystal bowl sound healing session, inviting everyone to rest, receive, and settle. Children are welcome to lie down, sit, wiggle, or cuddle up with their grown-ups as the sound gently supports relaxation and regulation.

This is a space where: 📝
• all ages are welcome
• energy levels are honored
• feelings are allowed
• and connection comes first

Come as you are.

Move, play, rest together.

Leave a little more grounded, a little more connected, and a little more at home with each other.

The Space Between: Restorative Yoga & Crystal Bowl Sound Healing 💟📿

Join Paige & Bri for our second immersive Restorative Yoga + Crystal Bowl Sound Healing, an afternoon devoted to deep rest, reflection, and presence.

Rooted in the wisdom of the deep winter ❄️ , this offering honors the natural rhythms of life—the cycles of slowing down, turning inward, and listening. Winter invites us into stillness, not as emptiness, but as a fertile ground for awareness, integration, and renewal. We gather the heart of Winter when the body and earth are still resting- yet preparing for change.

You’ll be guided by Paige through supported restorative postures, allowing the body to soften and fully receive while Bri weaves the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls throughout the practice. 🪬Together, sound and stillness create space to witness sensations, emotions, and inner landscapes as they arise.

Expect to leave feeling grounded, spacious, and deeply nourished—aligned with the quiet wisdom of the season.

➡️Saturday, February 7th from 2-3:30pm

Ever notice how some days the room feels hot… and other days you feel hot? 🥵

That internal fire comes from Ujjayi breathing (aka victorious breath).

By creating a gentle constriction in the back of the throat and breathing slowly through the nose, you begin to build heat from within. This steady, audible breath helps:

✨ Activate internal warmth
✨ Increase sweat + circulation
✨ Deepen focus and intensity
✨ Support stamina in challenging postures

Here’s why 👇

✨ Heat isn’t just external — it’s internal.
Sweat is driven largely by your core body temperature, not just the thermostat.

✨ Your breath matters.
Steady Ujjayi (victorious) breathing creates gentle resistance in the throat, increasing the work of breathing. That extra effort builds internal heat and helps sustain sweat throughout class.

✨ Movement + muscle activation = heat.
More muscular engagement = more energy expenditure = more thermogenesis (heat production).

✨ Room variables change daily.
Outside temperature, humidity, airflow, and how many people are in the room all influence how the heat is experienced — not always how it’s set.

✨ Your body changes, too.
Hydration, sleep, stress levels, hormones, and recovery all affect how quickly you warm up and how much you sweat.

✨ Consistency builds intensity.
When breath is steady and effort is sustained, heat accumulates. When breath becomes shallow or irregular, heat dissipates.

🔥 The takeaway:
The heat you feel is a relationship between the room and your body. While the room temperature matters, internal heat is largely driven by breath, muscular effort, and metabolic activity. Ujjayi breathing increases the work of breathing, supports steady energy output, and helps raise core body temperature — all of which contribute to deeper sweat and intensity in practice!

Asana Breakdown: Reclined Butterfly Pose or Supta Baddha Konasana🌙

Reclined Butterfly Pose is a fan favorite. 🤩 It helps to open to groin, hips and inner thighs plus encourages deep relaxation of the nervous system. This gentle heart opener cultivates feelings of surrender, digestion and receptivity.

As we shed the skin of the 🐍 Year of the Snake—a time of introspection, patience, and quiet transformation—we begin to feel the subtle shift toward the Year of the 🐎 Horse in Thai astrology.

The Horse represents movement, freedom, vitality, and forward momentum. In this pose, we practice the pause before the gallop—allowing stillness to soften what’s been coiled and held, so we can move forward with clarity, openness, and strength.

Let this posture be a bridge:
✨ honoring what you’re releasing
✨ creating space in the body and heart
✨ preparing you to move boldly, freely, and with purpose into what’s next

Set up:

1. Place a bolster lengthwise on your mat so it supports your spine from low back to head.
2. Sit with your sacrum at the base of the bolster, then gently lower yourself back so your heart and head are supported. Option to place a blanket under head or eye pillow over eyes 👀.
3. Bring the soles of your feet together and allow your knees to fall open like butterfly wings.🪽 A strap can be a great addition!
4. Support the thighs with blocks, blankets, or pillows so there is no strain in the hips or groin.
5. Option to place a folded blanket or small bolster under the knees or a sandbag/blanket over the pelvis for grounding. 🪨
6. Rest your arms wherever feels natural—palms open by your sides or one hand on heart, one on belly.
7. Close your eyes and settle in for 5–15 minutes, breathing slowly and softly.
