Soul Ya Yoga w/Ka Zoua

01/30/2026

Today, as I reviewed the intake forms for our Home in Us Couples Retreat, reading why couples are coming and seeing their photos from young lovers to who they are now, I found myself unexpectedly in tears and the song "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane came to mind.

There’s a place only the two of you know.
Not a location, but a feeling.
A remembering of who you were before life got loud.

Home is where we feel safe.
And if we cannot come home to safety and love within our most intimate relationship,
where do we turn when everything else feels uncertain or threatened?

As I looked at these couples, once young lovers, now shaped by countless life lessons, some together for over 20 years, I was reminded why this work matters so deeply to me.

This is where I choose to place my energy.

In creating spaces where partners can come home to one another.
Where relationships are treated as sacred.
Where the foundation is strengthened,
safety is restored,
and love is given the time and presence it needs to deepen and grow.

I'm excited and grateful for the couples who are coming, and I cannot wait to co-create healthier relationships together.

Somewhere Only We Know Lyrics by Keane -

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on

So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on

So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go somewhere only we know?

~Yin Yoga for Emotional Healing & Rest ~

Join Hennepin County and Ka Zoua Xiong, founder of Soul Ya Yoga, for a FREE Yin Yoga session created to support rest, regulation, and emotional grounding.

This gentle, slow practice offers longer-held poses, mindful breathing, and quiet stillness to help soothe the nervous system, release held tension, and create space to process what words often cannot. Yin Yoga invites you to slow down, listen inward, and feel supported during uncertain times.

This is a space to pause, feel grounded, and remember that rest is healing and something we all deserve, especially when the world feels heavy. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, grieving, or simply in need of calm, you are welcome here.

This event is free and open to the community.

Yesterday night I hosted a 30-min Family Yoga session. We jumped to shake things off, focused on the spin and back of body, twisted to detox, breathe to come back and legs up to relax mind and body. We had families joined us on Zoom, and my kids along with my husband participated. Guess what? I put my family to sleep by 8pm and had the rest of the time focus on my business! Dm me if you want the link for next week’s free session.

When faithful, committed people fall out of love isn’t because of affairs, but because of self neglect.

Strong relationships aren’t built in crisis; they’re cultivated in advance. This is an invitation to invest in connection, so when life intensifies, you remain anchored, attuned, and united.

Join us for a live conversation about the Home In Us Retreat. This is not therapy, nor a getaway, it’s a carefully held space for committed couples to slow down, unplug from daily demands, and learn body-based practices like Thai Yoga Bodywork, breathwork, and co-regulation to strengthen and nourish their connection.

This is for you if you're asking:

“How do we come back faster?”

“How do we not let stress poison the good?”

“How do we reset without a crisis?”

We are inviting only 4 couples to join us, and 2 spots are already claimed.

Testimonial:
"My husband and I didn’t know what to expect
but it was exactly what we needed. We didn’t
think we could be any stronger in our
relationship; but truly, through intentional
movement, the practice of giving and
receiving, and a closing exercise that moved
me to tears, we experienced a deeper layer of
connection and attunement than before.

Thank you, Ka Zoua, for sharing your gift and
holding space with such care. It was next-level work
and so powerfully
healing and connecting!"
