FAQs
Q: Am I too old/out of shape for this series? Alternatively, am I too young/experienced at yoga to learn more?
A: No! This series is perfect for everyone that can get up and down from their yoga mat, and we will all support you wherever you are in your life journey and yoga journey. The whole group will develop better connection and understanding of yoga as we learn how to adapt the poses for everyone.
Q: If I already have a membership, can I still sign up?
A: Absolutely! This is a wonderful enhancement to your existing practice. You can register for Roots and Wings now and we will happily put a hold on your existing membership during the six weeks of the series.
Q: What if I miss a session?
A: You’ll still be able to follow along with the post-class notes. While we don’t offer make-ups, the series is such a good deal that you’ll get tons of value even if you must miss a session or two.

An Evening of Gentle Movement, Sound Healing, Intuitive Reflection & Soulful Sisterhood
Facilitated by Alexis Besosa, E-RYT-200 & Crystal Bright, Musician & Sound Healer
Step into a sacred space created just for women — a nurturing circle where you can soften, release, and reconnect with your inner wisdom and the healing power of community.
Over the course of two hours, we’ll move through a thoughtfully crafted journey together:
- Opening & Centering – Arrive fully, ground into the space, and set intentions.
- Vocal Toning & Mantra — simple, guided sounds that free the voice, move energy, (like humming Om or Solfeggio frequencies) to clear energy and deepen your connection to breath and body.
-
Gentle & Restorative Yoga with Live Music led by Alexis — grounding movement and supported stillness to reset the nervous system and open the body accompanied by Crystal Bright’s soothing live soundscapes.
-
Live Sound Healing with musician Crystal Bright — bathe in healing vibrations while resting fully, with music using a combination of instruments, such as a frame drum, kalimba, crystal singing bowls, piano, accordion, and more.
-
Intuitive Journaling or Creative Reflection — access your quiet inner voice through intuitive writing, creative exploration, or simply pausing with presence.
-
Closing Circle — a chance to gather together and close with intention, in safe space of witnessing and sharing, where each woman is honored without judgment or advice. Sharing is welcome but never required—come just as you are.
Each circle is inspired by a chakra theme (from Root to Crown) — grounding, creativity, empowerment, compassion, truth, intuition, transcendence, and integration — creating a complete journey of balance and renewal.
Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this circle welcomes you exactly as you are. No prior experience needed.
Bring: A yoga mat, journal, pen, and any items that help you feel cozy or grounded (blanket, eye pillow, etc.)
This circle is for women seeking:
-
Heartfelt connection and community
-
Rest from the constant doing
-
A reset for the nervous system
-
A deeper relationship with intuition
-
A reminder that they are not alone
No experience with yoga, sound healing, or journaling is necessary. Simply come as you are, ready to soften into presence, connect, and be held in the company of others.
We can’t wait to welcome you into this sacred space.
Join experienced prenatal yoga
instructors Alaina Godfrey and Neda Dowlatshahi for a two-hour
workshop designed to support both the birthing person and their
chosen birth partner(s) as they prepare for labor. This
interactive, informative session will offer practical tools and
hands-on techniques that can be used throughout the late stages of
pregnancy and during childbirth — no matter your birth plan or
setting.
Together, we’ll
explore:
- Breathwork to help manage
intensity and regulate the nervous system
- Mantras and mindfulness
techniques to stay focused and grounded
- Partner-supported poses that can
ease discomfort and create connection
- Simple massage techniques and
comfort positions to use during labor
This workshop is ideal for
pregnant individuals in any stage of their third trimester and the
partner, friend, or support person who will be by their side during
birth. It’s also a great opportunity to deepen your connection,
improve communication, and build confidence as a team. You’ll leave
with a better understanding of how to work with your body during
labor, as well as how your partner can provide meaningful, hands-on
support throughout the experience.
Please note: Registration is per person,
and all attendees — including birth partners or support persons —
must be registered individually. This helps us ensure adequate
space and attention for all participants.
