03/30/2026

Welcome to April 2026.

As the seasons continue their quiet turning, we are reminded how meaningful it is to have a place we can return to again and again.

Yoga and dance offer us something rare in a fast-moving world: a rhythm of steadiness. A place where the body remembers, even when life feels uncertain or full. A mat, a floor, a breath, a familiar room of people moving and practicing together.

Practice does not ask us to be perfect. It simply asks us to return.

Some days we arrive energized and inspired. Other days we arrive tired, distracted, or unsure. Yet something beautiful happens in the act of showing up. Over time, the practice becomes a quiet anchor — a place where we can land, listen, and reconnect with ourselves.

The studio becomes more than just a place to move. It becomes a small sanctuary in the middle of everyday life — a place where we remember our breath, our strength, our creativity, and our belonging.

Again and again we come home to the body.
Again and again we come home to the breath.
Again and again we come home to one another.

Wherever you are in your journey right now, know that your practice is here for you — steady, patient, and always welcoming you back.

We look forward to practicing with you soon.

With gratitude,
Pleasure Point Sanctuary

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”— Rumi

Kirtan is a beautiful and joyful form of meditation through music. Rooted in the Bhakti yoga tradition, it is a practice of call-and-response chanting where voices, instruments, and hearts come together in a shared experience of sound and devotion.

You don’t need to be a singer or know any of the chants to participate. The melodies are simple and repetitive, allowing everyone to join in naturally. As the music builds and flows, many people experience a sense of connection, openness, and peace. The practice invites us to move beyond the busy thinking mind and into the heart.

Often accompanied by instruments such as harmonium, guitar, drum, or cymbals, Kirtan creates a vibrant atmosphere where community gathers in song. Some people sit quietly and listen, some sing along, and others may gently sway or clap with the rhythm, even get up and dance. There is no right or wrong way to participate.

At its essence, Kirtan is about connection—to yourself, to one another, and to something greater. It is both uplifting and grounding, playful and deeply moving. Whether you come to sing, listen, meditate, or simply experience the energy of the music, you are warmly welcome.

We hope you’ll join us for this special evening of music, mantra, and community.

“Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment; cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.”
~ RUMI

As we approach the Spring Equinox, we arrive at a beautiful moment of balance in nature — when day and night meet in perfect harmony.

In yoga, we often practice this same balance: effort and ease, strength and softness, grounding and expansion. The equinox invites us to step onto our mats and into our lives with this same awareness.

Let this season be a reminder that renewal is always possible. With each breath, each practice, each new sunrise — we begin again.

Yours in both the light and the dark,
Pleasure Point Sanctuary

“With the coming of spring, I am calm again.
The earth becomes like a child
who knows poems by heart.”
by Rainer Maria Rilke

Spring for Rumi often symbolizes remembrance—nature remembering its divine rhythm.

Like the earth in spring, something within us is quietly remembering how to bloom.

💜A welcoming class for new and experienced folks alike serenaded by the soft lullaby of Johanna’s voice and instruments. This class explores: the deeper philosophy of the yoga tradition, a richly nourishing sequence of familiar yoga poses with mindfulness-based somatics, and a heart-opening community vibe. Led with compassion and inquiry by one of our most seasoned teachers. Come if you want to feel truly alive.

✨Johanna’s love of singing and songwriting led her on a journey through a wide variety of styles—soul, gospel, folk, pop, rock, world beat, reggae, a ca****la, jazz, dance, and more. Today her performances and recordings are generally grounded in kirtan—the music of yoga—and other forms of conscious music. But Johanna incorporates the most compelling elements of all of those styles into her songs no matter what she’s singing. And above all else, her spirit shines bright in every note.

✨Joss Jaffe performs as a Vocalist, Tabla player and Multi-Instrumentalist. Joss Jaffe’s music is rooted in his desire to unite people through spirit, love, joy, community and consciousness. His music invites the audience into a space of spontaneous joy.

✨One of Hannah’s greatest joys in life is welcoming folks of all backgrounds into kind, curious, brave, compassionate spaces that restore, heal, and bring us truly alive. Deemed the “midwife of possibility,”
