This all levels workshop is a practice for self care and relaxation. Whether you've been experiencing high stress lately or simply enjoy the gift of slow time, this practice has your back.

We’ll begin by checking in with our bodies, tending to our needs with mindful, slow low-to-the-ground yoga. Weaving in lots of time for intuitive practice and space to breathe, feel and soften.

We'll then find a few longer held restorative postures, observing the process of stilling in the body and mind.

And finally, we'll close our time with an extended guided savasana and yoga nidra practice (also known as yogic sleep or non-sleep deep rest). If you've never practiced a :20 minute guided rest, this is a good opportunity to experience it!

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.

An Evening of Gentle Movement, Sound Healing, Intuitive Reflection & Soulful Sisterhood

Facilitated by Alexis Besosa, ERYT-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.

In this 2-hour offering, you’ll be guided through:

• Gentle & Restorative Yoga led by Alexis — grounding movement and supported stillness to reset the nervous system and open the body.

• Live Sound Healing with musician Crystal Bright — frame drum, kalimba, crystal bowls, piano, accordion, and more.

• Vocal Toning & Mantra — simple, guided sounds that free the voice, move energy, and deepen the connection between breath, body, and spirit.

• Intuitive Journaling or Creative Reflection — access your inner voice through writing, sketching, or other forms of playful self-expression.

• Closing Circle — a safe space of witnessing and sharing, where each woman is honored without judgment or advice.

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 anything that helps you feel cozy or grounded (blanket, eye pillow, crystals, 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

We can’t wait to welcome you into this sacred space.

Each individual session is $50, or you may purchase the full 8-session series for $320 (a $80 savings). To receive the discounted price, simply select all sessions and choose the 8-session purchase option. Please reach out to the studio with any questions.
