As we move into Spring in the
Northern Hemisphere, we welcome the season of rebirth, growth and
reawakening. This is the most
potent time of the year to gather in an intentional practice to
build internal fire. The
powerful Pranic energy of nature encourages us to let go of
anything that gets in the way of joy, and make space for new growth
in the months to come.
Join Amanda for
a Spring Equinox workshop to welcome the return of spring and
awaken your energy. We will practice yoga, meditation and
experience deep healing with an extended gong
bath. You’ll emerge feeling clearer,
lighter and deeply refreshed.

Join Mary (pre/postnatal yoga
teacher and certified pre/postnatal corrective exercise specialist)
for a 2 hour workshop on how birth impacts your pelvic floor, and
how yoga can help. We will start with a 45-minute discussion about
why your pelvic floor is important, what happens to your pelvic
floor during pregnancy and birth, what you can do afterward to
prevent or heal common pelvic floor problems, such as prolapse,
leaking, constipation and pain in your hips or lower back. The
workshop will end with a 65-minute yoga practice focused on
creating balance in your pelvic floor.
This workshop is for you if:
- you’re currently pregnant or
planning a pregnancy
- you’ve been pregnant
before
- you’re newly
postpartum
- you’ve given birth (doesn't
matter when)
- you’ve had a
Cesarean
- you gave birth
vaginally
- you have symptoms of pelvic
dysfunction (leaking, constipation, painful sex, prolapse, hip
pain)
- you want to know how to maintain a healthy pelvic floor
Yoga and dance have many embodied
qualities in common, including unity, liberation, embodiment,
nervous system regulation, and authentic self-expression. Yoga
provides profound tools for self-transformation that are ancient
and timeless. Dance brings forth longstanding ancestral alchemical
sparks of creative expression, joy, playfulness, celebration,
storytelling, and connection to self, spirit, music, movement and
community.
During this yoga dance
experience you will move to simple embodied movement prompts that
are accessible to all because dance is a universal language that
doesn’t require fancy moves or special skills. Sometimes we will
move together in community and other times you will be invited to
go deep into your own experience. This is about you tuning in to
what lights you up and allows you to express a fuller range of your
unique spirit.
Your guide is Jennifer
Lucero-Earle, a trauma-informed registered Somatic Movement
Therapist and Educator who has been teaching dance as healing
classes for over 20 years. She is looking forward to dancing with
you!
Wear comfortable
clothes to move in. No shoes required. Feel free to bring a yoga
mat for floor-based practices.
Join Amy and Alexis for a 2-hour restorative yoga workshop. This workshop will lead students into deep relaxation and rest. By allowing the body to rest, we allow the body to heal. This practice will help to activate and balance the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces fatigue, anxiety, and stress, and promotes overall well-being.
All restorative poses are done seated or lying down, with the use of props to support the body. Each pose will be held for 10-15 minutes, allowing plenty of time to settle into each pose to find restoration, peace, and ease of the body and mind.
As Amy and Alexis are both yoga teachers and massage therapists, this workshop will include gentle touch during each pose, with your expressed consent. Great for all experience levels, especially for those looking for nourishment and self-care. Join us to rest, relax and restore!
