Join Essential's owner and instructor Sunni on New Year's morning from 9-1130a and begin the new year with a practice rooted in intention, clarity, and ritual. A Yoga Mala is a traditional sequence of 108 sun salutations used to honor moments of transition. New Year’s Day is one of the most meaningful times to complete this practice because it invites us to consciously close one chapter and step into another with presence and purpose.

The number 108 carries symbolic significance across yoga traditions. It reflects completeness and the connection between our individual journey and the larger universe, the Divine, or God. Moving through a Mala on January 1 becomes a way to acknowledge where we have been, release what we are ready to set down, and set the tone for how we want to move through the year ahead.

In this special celebration, we will complete one Mala together through four rounds of 27 sun salutations, each expressed through a different pathway:

• Traditional Sun Salutation A
• Supine Flow from the back body
• Chair Yoga variation
• Hands and Knees Flow

Between each round, you will have time to rest, hydrate, and reset. Coffee, tea, water, and light breakfast items will be available.

This event reflects the heart of our studio philosophy. Yoga adapts to your body and your season of life. By offering four full variations, we create a shared experience where every body can participate with confidence and curiosity.

Whether you prefer flowing on your feet, exploring a gentler practice, or honoring an injury or transition, each variation is a complete and valid expression of the Mala. Join us in welcoming the new year with community, reverence, and movement that meets you where you are. OM for ALL.

$40 per person; only 15 spots available. Advanced registration required.

A winter immersion to cleanse, connect, and come home to your true power.

Join us for Essential Empowerment, an 8-week journey weaving together the science of gut health and the teachings of yoga. This experience is designed to guide you into deeper connection with your body, your intuition, and your inner truth — empowering you to understand what truly nourishes and supports you.

Through this season of devotion, you’ll move through a full body and intuition reset — beginning with a gentle devotional detox, flowing into an elimination and reintroduction process, and grounding into the ancient teachings of the Eight Limbs of Yoga. Each week offers both education and embodiment — pairing practical tools for gut healing with spiritual yoga practices to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit.

What You’ll Experience

• Custom gut-healing support from nutritionist & holistic health coach Shela Roles, including your detox plan, personalized elimination guidance, and support through reintroduction.

• Weekly discussions and intentional practices led by Sunni Nutt & Shela Roles, blending holistic education and embodied wisdom.

• Weekly gut health education, yoga practices, meditations, recipes, and holistic tools inside your private virtual portal hosted by Empowered With Shela.

• In-person and virtual options available — join us from anywhere in your healing journey.

The Intention

Essential Empowerment is more than a cleanse — it’s a reconnection to your essential self.

By uniting the wisdom of your gut with the guidance of your soul, you’ll emerge feeling clear, centered, and confident in your ability to care for yourself — body, mind, and spirit.

• You’re ready to reset your gut and your energy from the inside out.
