Five years ago, The Nest was just an idea.

Today… it’s a community.

A place where people come to breathe deeper, feel more, and reconnect with themselves.

Five years of all of YOU showing up for yourselves.
Five years of growth.
Five years of heart.

And we’re just getting started.

Come be part of it.

Spring is here… and so is your space to reset, reconnect, and feel good in your body.

This week’s schedule is full of opportunities to slow down, build strength, and come back to yourself… one class at a time.

Take a look, plan ahead, and put your self-care on the calendar. It matters more than you think.

We’ll be closed Sunday for Easter 🤍

There’s a moment in the Awakened Heart Training when the room gets really quiet… not because no one has anything to say, but because something real is felt.

This is what a Yoga & Lifestyle Teacher Training looks like.

Not just learning poses and memorizing cues. But sitting together and exploring how the mind works… noticing patterns, triggers, reactions, and then gently, honestly asking, “What’s underneath that?”

In this circle, we slow it all down. We learn how to recognize the moment we’re hooked by a self-defeating pattern. We learn how to pause instead of react. We learn how to meet ourselves with awareness instead of judgment.

And from that place… everything changes.

Because the kind of teacher people are drawn to isn’t the one who knows the most poses. It’s the one who has done this work. The one who can sit with discomfort. The one who understands their own mind and can hold space for someone else’s challenges and triumphs.

This is the deeper training. This is the real practice. And it doesn’t just shape how you teach…it transforms how you live.

Shout out to The Happy Human Being for supporting our trainees today with knowledge, compassion and heart.

Sound Bath: Hope & the Four Bliss Petals

Hope does not live in the mind. It lives much deeper in the body.

At the beginning of this month’s Sound Bath, we'll explore four simple hand mudras, ancient gestures used in yoga to guide energy and awareness in the body. Each mudra will invite us to connect with one of the four subtle petals of bliss described in yogic teachings at the base of the spine.

These petals represent our innate capacities for stability, vitality, belonging, and contentment- qualities that form the quiet foundation of hope within us.

When life becomes heavy or uncertain, these petals can feel closed or hidden beneath stress, worry, and the constant activity of the mind. Yet yoga reminds us that bliss is never lost. It simply waits for the right conditions to unfold again.

After exploring these grounding gestures, we will settle into the deeper portion of the evening as the vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes wash gently through the body. Sound has a way of reaching places words can't .... softening the nervous system, releasing tension along the spine, and awakening the deeper currents of our being. As your body rests and listens, the subtle petals of bliss begin to open once again. From that place of openness, hope naturally rises.

Join us for an evening of resonance, restoration, and renewal as we continue this month’s exploration of Hope and the Four Bliss Petals.

Welcome Joanna Lynne Groebel to The Nest Collaborative

Joanna brings a rare depth of experience that beautifully bridges psychotherapy, somatic healing, contemplative traditions, and creative expression. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Creative Arts in Therapy from Drexel University, and holds specialized certifications in EMDR and Brainspotting for trauma resolution. Her work is deeply informed by decades of spiritual practice and study.

Joanna has immersed herself in the study of Qigong with respected masters including Lorelei Chang, Ken Cohen, and Daisy Lee, and has practiced Zen meditation for more than 25 years. Her path has also included training in Reiki, SoulCollage facilitation, creative arts practices such as Point Zero Painting, and even shamanic apprenticeships in Peru and the Mayan traditions. Through all of this study, her intention has remained the same: supporting people in reconnecting with their true nature and their fullest creative capacities.

Joanna offers Qigong and Life Nourishing Practices every Tuesday from 8:30–9:30am. These gentle, meditative movement practices help cultivate balance, vitality, and inner quiet. Each class includes flowing qigong movements, supportive acupressure points, and Daoist wisdom teachings.

On Thursdays at 8:30am Joanna offers Metta Qigong class focusing on cultivating the qualities of a healthy heart- quiet, space, emptiness- and to learn to let go.through visualization and soothing, balancing qigong flows. You will also learn powerfully supportive meridians and acupressure points. Daoist philosophy and health practices will be offered as well. We will send Metta Qi (loving kindness) to ourselves, our loved ones, and all beings in this world of great need at the end of class.. a loving-kindness energy offered to ourselves, our loved ones, and the wider world.

No experience is necessary. These practices are accessible to all. They offer a beautiful complement to yoga, meditation, and other wellness practices offered at The Nest.

Also, stay tuned for Joanna's unique art therapy workshops coming soon!

Pricing:
First class $15
Drop-in $18
5-class card $75 (valid for three months)

Joanna will also offer a special Qigong Lab on April 18 from 1–4pm, a longer immersion into practice supported by a Yi Quan standing meditation teaching from Qigong Grandmaster Ken Cohen.

As Joanna’s Zen teacher Marian Morgan Roshi beautifully reminds us:

"You are perfectly alright and have been since beginningless time."

We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Joanna and experiencing the nourishing power of Qigong.
