This Sunday was such a privilege. Denita Washington’s Girlz Rock participants spent the afternoon at The Pillar, and together with we explored simple ways to support the nervous system.

Shannon shared an easy breakdown of the brain and how each part responds under stress. Then we practiced regulation techniques — breathwork, meditation, and gentle movement — tools they can carry with them anywhere.

It was an honor to hold space for these young women and remind them that their breath, their bodies, and their inner wisdom are always available to them.

The Weave is today at 3 PM ✨
If you’ve been wanting a place to understand yourself more deeply — especially the way your brain and nervous system respond in real time — today’s session is for you.

We’re exploring the different “parts” of the brain (basal ganglia → amygdala/lizard brain → cingulate cortex/banana brain → prefrontal cortex) so you can:
• notice which part you’re in
• know what you need in that state
• recognize what someone else might need, too

It’s practical, embodied, and so grounding.

Join us today from 3–5 PM at The Pillar.

Montoya helped me put screws in the shelves- so hopefully they will stay!!

There is room for your donations! Non perishables and hygiene products are needed!

You can take them to the pantry or drop them off to the Pillar during class times. DM for a specific drop off time!

Here’s the deal —
Our outdoor pantry is empty again. filled it this morning and within hours, everything was gone. The need in our community is real and immediate.

🫶 If you’re able, please drop off non-perishable food, hygiene items, or household basics at The Pillar Yoga & Wellness. The video shows exactly where to bring them.

✨ If class times don’t work for you, DM me and I’ll meet you here — or you can go straight to our outdoor pantry located on Holton Street, right on the corner of Holton and Creighton, in front of the church there.

Let’s restock that pantry today. Every single item helps feed a neighbor right here in Fort Wayne.

I cried a little—in the best way.
Ecstatic dance let me shake out stuck emotion and I left lighter, clearer, and honestly happier. No choreography. No “right” steps. Just music, breath, and a room full of safe people moving how our bodies wanted to.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not coordinated” (hi, same 🙋🏻‍♀️), this is for you.

Come try it: Saturdays • 9:00 AM with Raven at The Pillar Yoga & Wellness.
First-timers welcome. Wear comfy clothes, bring water, and come as you are.
Sign up via the link in bio or thepillarfw.com/classes.

✨ Ecstatic Dance with Raven — Tomorrow at 9 AM!

Start your Saturday morning with 30 minutes of mindful movement, breath, and freedom. This class begins with a gentle warm-up and stretching, leading into freeform dance that reconnects you with your body and your joy.

Science shows that ecstatic dance can be more effective than antidepressants — helping reduce anxiety, boost mood, ease overwhelm, and increase self-esteem. It’s a powerful way to process emotions, release tension, and come home to yourself.

Let your body move the way it wants to move — no steps to learn, no right or wrong. Just presence, music, and release.
