Have you registered for this weekend’s winter wellness workshops? Spots are filling up 🥰

From an Ayurveda perspective, winter is the building time of year—in the past we would build a fire to stay warm, build the pantry and root cellar to cook soups and stews to build stores of energy in our bodies to get through harsh cold conditions.

Most of us are blessed to have much of the modern conveniences to stay safe and warm but can still work to balance this season by building our Ojas, the immunity building energy in the body. Enjoy time in the nourishing dark mornings for a more extended meditation, asana and pranayama practice. We have added 7:30 am classes on the weekends!

Find opportunities for rest, get outside in the middle of the day for much-needed sunlight, eat warm, cooked, nourishing foods, and allow yourself to be more quiet, introverted and slow to strengthen your immune system to fight the winter viruses.

To balance in the inward pull, continue to take comfort in community and stay cozy on the couch with your cats, read stories by candlelight, or leave a window open at night to let fresh, cool air inside.

Learn more about Ayurvedic healing with Chanda at 1pm and then join Yael at 4:30pm for a cozy, nourishing Kundalini & Sound Bath 💗

As we move towards the end of winter with it wild weather and inch towards spring we’re also navigating the challenges of the season’s sickies 🤧 the colds, flus and winter blues of Kapha Season. Ayurvedic wisdom blesses us with the wisdom that like increases like so to experience health and balance, we must do the opposite. That means walking up early, before 7am, cleansing our bodies and minds with movement as medicine to clear out the stagnant energies and strengthen our immune systems with cleansing, nourishing, warm and spiced foods, teas and lots of powerful breathing practices like breath of fire!

In Ayurvedic wisdom, the transition to Spring can be the most challenging physically, mentally and emotionally. This Saturday join Chanda for an Ayurveda workshop to explore how Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, helps us understand seasonal transitions and support the body, mind, and nervous system during times of change.

This workshop is ideal for anyone feeling sluggish, overwhelmed, emotionally heavy, or ready to reset their rhythms as the season shifts.

You can expect:
✨A clear, accessible overview of the Ayurvedic lens on seasonal transition, with a focus on late winter and early spring
✨Insight into how kapha imbalance can show up physically, mentally, and emotionally during this time of year
✨Gentle movement, breathwork, and embodied practices to support circulation, digestion, and nervous system balance
✨Simple daily rituals, lifestyle shifts, and self-care practices you can realistically integrate into your life
✨Space for reflection and questions, with an emphasis on listening to your own body’s wisdom

Rather than pushing or forcing change, we’ll focus on clearing, warming, and awakening in a way that supports sustainable energy and resilience, honoring that transition, whether seasonal or personal, is a process, not a performance 🫶🏽

Let’s nourish ourselves with creativity and all that brings us joy (OMG 🤩 Go Alyssa Lui) as daily routines to help us navigate these wild waters in Pisces season and be in service to one another.

We have you covered with all hands and hearts on deck ready to take care of all your Yogic needs morning, noon and night and some really wonderful workshops and events to serve our communities with care - check out our upcoming Spring events! 🌸

✨TONIGHT! ✨ 2 choices for a yogi’s Friday night out

🪷Friday Night Live: Jivamukti & Sound Bath with Chris — a well-rounded flowing practice designed to make you move and sweat as well as encourage curiosity and spiritual activation that flows gently into a long-form sound bath using sound healing instruments including antique singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras. The frequency of the bowls create vibrational sound harmonics that impact the sympathetic nervous system by engaging the relaxation reflex, (and disrupting the pain reflex) creating an overall deep sense of well being, meditation and relaxation. 

🪷 Friday Night Chill: Gentle Flow & Yoga Nidra with Tori — This evening class offers a slow, nourishing Hatha Yoga flow designed to attune the body to the subtle rhythms of Ha (sun) and Tha (moon). Gentle movement, breath, and sound invite balance between effort and ease, activation and release. The practice concludes with an extended Yoga Nidra and sound journey, guiding the body into deep rest and the mind into spacious awareness. A grounding and restorative offering to unwind, restore, and release the week.

Finish off the week with a nourishing practice to guide you into a cozy weekend of rest and recovery 💗

Ready for a Reset? ✨🙏🏽💗

Join Yael .kundalini_ for a candle lit Kundalini Yoga and Sound Bath experience designed to soothe your nervous system, quiet the mind, and restore balance to your body and spirit.

This nurturing journey begins with gentle yet powerful cleansing kundalini yoga practices. Weaving together mindful movements and breath practices, these accessible techniques support the release of stored tension, boost energy, and guide you back to your center without force or overwhelm.

From there, you’ll melt into deep rest during a healing sound bath serenade, featuring the chau gong, crystal bowls and chimes. Allow the vibrations and frequencies to wash over you, dissolving mental and emotional heaviness while inviting profound relaxation. The sound works on a cellular level, helping the body shift into a meditative state where healing, integration, and renewal can unfold naturally.

No prior experience is needed— come as you are, with an open heart and a willingness to let go 🌿

Spend a beautiful afternoon at your sanctuary in the city with ✨🙏🏽

Spring is a season of renewal, movement, and emergence, but it can also bring feelings of heaviness, congestion, fatigue, irritability, or emotional stuckness as the body transitions out of winter.

In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll explore how Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, helps us understand seasonal transitions and support the body, mind, and nervous system during times of change.

Drawing from classical Ayurvedic wisdom and trauma-informed yoga therapy, this workshop offers practical tools to gently clear stagnation, restore energy, and cultivate clarity as we move into spring.

This workshop is ideal for anyone feeling sluggish, overwhelmed, emotionally heavy, or ready to reset their rhythms as the season shifts. No prior knowledge of Ayurveda is required, and all practices will be accessible and adaptable.

Rather than pushing or forcing change, we’ll focus on clearing, warming, and awakening in a way that supports sustainable energy and resilience, honoring that transition, whether seasonal or personal, is a process, not a performance.

Come as you are, and leave with tools to move into spring feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to your natural rhythms 🌸💚
