Even if it doesn’t feel like it yet, the light is returning.
Day by day, daylight is increasing—and our bodies are slowly shifting too.

This isn’t the season for big breakthroughs or instant motivation. It’s a threshold time: honoring rest, noticing small changes, and trusting subtle progress.

You don’t need to bloom yet.
You don’t need a plan.
Just notice what feels a little lighter—and let the season do the rest.

Even if it doesn’t feel like it yet, the light is returning.
Daylight is increasing—quietly, subtly, without asking us to suddenly have our lives together.

This in-between season is exactly what First Breath: Mediation and Movement was designed for... No pushing. No fixing. Just gentle movement, intentional breathing, and a calm reset for your nervous system as the days slowly grow longer.

Join us this Monday for First Breath—a soft place to land while winter finishes its sentence and the light begins to speak up.

❄️ Yin Yoga | Winter Theme – This Tuesday ❄️

After a weekend of snow, shoveling, hibernating, and surviving winter, your body will deserve a slow, nourishing reset.

Yin Yoga invites you to pause, soften, and thaw — holding gentle postures for longer periods to release deep tension, calm the nervous system, and restore balance after the intensity of cold and chaos. Winter is not the season to push… it’s the season to restore.

Come stretch what’s tight, breathe into stillness, and let your system settle back into ease.

✨ Perfect after snowstorms
✨ Slow, grounding, and deeply relaxing
✨ All levels welcome

📅 This Tuesday
📍 In our Salt Room

Bundle up on the way in… then melt once you arrive. 💙

✍️ Before & After: Legacy Writing & Spirit Messages

When we lose someone, more often than not, we leave some things unsaid. Death doulas help people prepare for their passing, and mediums help us sense them when they're gone. Whether perfectly healthy or nearing the end of the journey, putting into words what we'd like our loved ones to know can be an incredibly meaningful exercise, both for us and for them! Join writer and doula Christina Lengyel for a workshop helping you to craft a heartfelt and creative message to someone you love. Then attend a Spirit Gallery with evidential medium Jennifer LaRue for the opportunity to receive messages from those who have already gone before us

Begin with guided legacy writing, where Christina helps you put into words what’s often hardest to say — letters for loved ones to share now or later. The evening concludes with a group gallery reading as Jennifer shares messages from loved ones in Spirit.

✨ Registration required | Limited space available

Some days the most productive thing you can do… is absolutely nothing. 🐱❄️💤

Winter didn’t miss the memo — it’s the season of rest, restoration, and strategic hibernation.
Check the list: hustle → burnout → chaos.
Now try this instead: nap → breathe → do nothing. ✔️✔️✔️

If nature is slowing down, you’re allowed to as well.
Your nervous system approves.
Your to-do list can wait.
And yes — rest is cheaper than therapy.

✨ Join us for Nidra Yoga tomorrow night — guided rest that counts as “doing something” (while lying down).

01/21/2026

Before the snow flies, the shovels come out, and your group chat starts screaming “How many inches are we getting?!” — join us tomorrow night for Nidra Yoga.

This guided, deeply restful practice lets you lie down, get cozy, and relax so completely it feels like a nap… but with benefits. 😴✨
Calm your nervous system, quiet your mind, and stockpile inner peace before the storm hits.

Think of it as emotional snow prep.
You handle the bread and milk — we’ll handle the calm.
