Join Noé for a luxurious evening of relaxation as she soothes your soul through sound, breathwork and restorative movement. This is a sensorial journey of exploration—touch, scent, sound, sight, and imagination—reawakened through simple rituals that are often lost in the momentum of daily life. Through gentle observation and embodied practice, we begin to reconnect with our natural state of sensuality: taking pleasure in simplicity, discovering joy in presence, and savouring the fullness of each moment as it unfolds. Expect to emerge from the evening with a blissful sense of well-being. What’s included:- Warm sips (non-alcoholic)- Tasty treats (compliments of Musubiya)- Restorative movement (gentle mat-based stretching and use of myofascial balls)- Sound therapy through voice, poetry, story and music- Journaling (optional) How to prepare:- Dress comfortably- Bring items to get comfortable (pillows, blankets, etc.), and a journal if desired- Silence electronic devices and tuck them away (including wearable tech that might prove distracting) About Rachel Noé: Noé is a Japanese-Canadian pole/aerial yoga instructor, performer, voice artist and holistic practitioner who weaves sound therapy, ritual, and restorative movement into her Yasumi (rest) retreats. While she holds extensive training in voice, fitness, yoga, and performance, the true power of her work lies in her deep intentionality and her reverence for sound and movement as sacred tools for restoration. Drawing on her years of experience travelling through Russia, Japan and Canada as a performer, Noé artfully infuses her Yasumi retreats with multiple languages, traditions, and modalities creating a space that feels grounded, expansive, and richly transformative.

This year’s workshop is a refined version of last year’s. We’ll explore how to build choreography from the ground up, develop or clarify your personal movement style, finding shapes and movement that feel and look good on your body, create smoother transitions and flow, and deepen your understanding of musicality and performance. The goal is to give you practical tools while also creating space to explore, experiment, and grow as a mover. This workshop is open to students from levels 101–404. It’s a mixed-level workshop, with much of the time dedicated to personal exploration at your own level. I’ll provide prompts and creative direction to guide our weekly focus, while moving around the room to offer individual guidance and feedback. You’re encouraged to work at a pace and level that feels right for you. Heels are welcome. About Lydia: Lydia has been teaching pole for nearly 8 years, with a focus on pole choreography for the past 4. She’s been choreographing since childhood, with formal training in dance, a degree in music, and professional performance experience. Her work sits at the intersection of movement, musicality, and performance, focusing on the small choices that elevate choreography and help dancers find movement that feels both expressive and authentic.

Welcome to Syrup — an indulgence in low, leg-led floor movement with SydSiren. This two-week floorwork workshop is an invitation to slow down, sink in, and move with intention. Syrup is about richness over speed, weight over sharpness, and letting the legs lead every decision. Week One is dedicated to foundation and detail. We will break down leg rotations, waves, sweeps, and transitions, exploring how to move seamlessly across the floor with control, fluidity, and depth. Expect to refine mechanics, build strength, and discover how small adjustments can completely change the quality of your movement. Week Two moves beyond what we do and into how we inhabit it. We’ll focus on sinking deeper into the work — grounding the body, softening the effort, and performing for yourself alone. No audience required. This is about indulgence, presence, and allowing your movement to feel slow, heavy, and unapologetically yours. Come prepared to move deliberately, explore sensation, and indulge in the bend, the rotation, and then…melt. About SydSiren: Syd is a veteran instructor with 13 years of teaching experience both online and in-person. Her upbeat and positive teaching method focus on clean lines, leg extensions, and musical connection.
