In our Breath-Centered Flow Yoga class, we invite you to embark on a journey of mindful movement and deep connection with your breath. This medium-paced flow class is designed to harmonize the rhythm of your breath with the fluidity of movement, creating a seamless and meditative experience on the mat.
In this class, we focus not only on the physical postures but also on the breath that accompanies each movement. As you flow through a series of gentle to moderate poses, you'll be encouraged to synchronize your breath with each transition, creating a graceful and effortless flow of energy throughout your body.
Guided by our experienced instructor, you'll explore the profound connection between breath and movement, allowing your breath to guide the pace of your practice. Through intentional breathing techniques you'll deepen your awareness of the present moment and cultivate a sense of inner peace and calm.
This class offers a balanced blend of strength-building sequences, gentle stretches, and mindful transitions, allowing you to find ease and fluidity in your practice while building strength and flexibility. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, this class is suitable for all levels, with modifications offered to accommodate individual needs and abilities.
As you move through the flow, you'll be encouraged to cultivate a sense of mindfulness and presence, letting go of distractions and tuning into the subtle sensations of your body and breath. With each inhale, invite a sense of expansion and vitality, and with each exhale, release tension and find a deeper sense of relaxation and surrender.
By the end of the class, you'll leave feeling rejuvenated, centered, and more connected to yourself and the world around you. Join us on the mat as we journey inward, one breath at a time, and discover the transformative power of Breath-Centered Flow Yoga.

All women carry Goddess energy. It is a transformative power that allows us to show up as our most favourite self, and tap into our deepest desires. Goddess energy gets lost by the monotany of the daily grind and gets squashed down by societal normals. When you uncover the Goddess within you, you have never felt more at home. When you embody the Goddess everything feels different, work, home, relationships, love, everything changes. Come and wake your inner goddess and light the fire of passion within you.
Through our 6 week transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment as we delve into the sacred feminine energy and embrace the goddess within. In this women's circle, we will embark on a holistic exploration combining discussion, meditation, somatic practices, and ritual to deepen our connection with the divine feminine essence and cultivate a sense of wholeness and empowerment.
Week 1: Awakening the Divine Feminine Within We will begin our journey by setting intentions and creating a sacred space. Through guided meditation and somatic exercises, we will explore the presence of the goddess within ourselves, inviting her energy to awaken and emerge.
Week 2: Honoring the Maiden: Embracing Innocence and New Beginnings This week, we will focus on the archetype of the maiden, symbolizing youth, vitality, and new beginnings.

Week 3: Nurturing the Mother: Cultivating Compassion and Creativity Embracing the archetype of the mother, we will delve into the themes of nurturing, compassion, and creativity.

We will also explore letting go of the need to hold the mother archetype to any kind of standard and heal old mother wounds.
Week 4: Embracing the Wild Woman: Reconnecting with Instinct and Authenticity In this week, we will tap into the energy of the wild woman, embracing our instincts, passions, and authenticity. Through somatic practices and ritual, we will reconnect with our primal nature and reclaim our power as fierce and untamed beings. No well behaved woman ever changed the world, lets break all the rules and set our souls on fire.
Week 5: Awakening the Wise Crone: Embracing Wisdom and Transformation Exploring the archetype of the wise crone, we will delve into themes of wisdom, intuition, and transformation. Through guided visualization and reflection, we will embrace the wisdom of our life experiences and honor the power of transformation. This is an oppurtunity to reflect on how far you have come as well as the wisdom to know hnow to take the next steps forward in your journey.
Week 6: Integration and Celebration: Embodying the Goddess in Daily Life As we near the end of our journey, we will come together to integrate our experiences and celebrate the embodiment of the goddess within ourselves. Through ritual and ceremony, we will honor our growth, acknowledge our strengths, and commit to carrying the energy of the Goddess into our daily lives.
Join us for this sacred six-week journey as we embrace the goddess within and awaken to our true power, beauty, and wisdom. All women are welcome to participate in this transformative exploration of the sacred feminine.

the rest, offering a truly immersive and transformative experience.
Unlike conventional training programs, this isn't about rushing
through the process. Instead, we believe in a holistic approach
that allows for gradual growth and development. By spreading the
training over time, we ensure that our teachers emerge well-rounded
and fully prepared to step into their first class upon
graduation.We provide all the necessary tools and resources to
equip you for teaching, but our commitment goes beyond mere
training. Our focus is on nurturing your journey, providing a
supportive environment where you'll be challenged and encouraged to
push beyond your comfort zone. Through coaching and feedback,
you'll engage in activities that may initially feel unfamiliar, yet
ultimately prove immensely rewarding.
Our aspirations extend beyond mere training; we're dedicated to
fostering personal growth and transformational experiences. As you
progress through the program, you'll witness a profound shift in
your relationship with yourself, leading to a newfound way of
interacting with the world. By delving into ancient teachings and
applying them to your life, you'll gain a deeper understanding of
your body, explore matters of the heart, and forge connections with
others in a meaningful and authentic manner.
