Limited to 8 participants.

Angela Cays has been working towards transforming suffering and empowering others for decades as a high school math teacher and tutor; licensed professional counselor (LPC) with adults, teens, groups and couples; and as a yoga instructor since the fall of 2006. She guides her students to reveal light and shadow, to become more fully embodied and aware of all layers of our being (koshas); to awaken intuition, life force energy (prana), and touch moments of deep peace as well as great expansion.

Her continued education as a counselor and yoga instructor led her deeper into the subtle body through learning modules in her advanced yoga teacher training with Sheryl and Neil Edsall at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA on Psychotherapy and Spirituality, as well as Psychology of the Chakras, Mind Body Integration, and Creating on Purpose with Anodea Judith. Having a spark of curiosity about Reiki when she first started taking yoga classes, it was about 20 years later, as a continuation of studying and working with the subtle body, she received her Level I, Level II and Reiki Master training and attunements from her beloved teacher, Sheryl Edsall, along with the radiant Eileen Alexander.

Angela benefits deeply from practicing Reiki for self-care in addition to sharing this healing modality with others. Through many years of studying and teaching yoga, and receiving the Reiki attunements, she continues to develop a more heightened awareness of subtle body energy. She feels honored to hold a sacred space for healing and growth through the universal energy of Reiki, as well as her group yoga classes, workshops and kirtans, private yoga, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping, and psychotherapy sessions.

Spring Awakening: Yoga Nidra & Sound

Kat is thrilled to share two of her most beloved and deeply transformative practices, Yoga Nidrā and sound woven together into one unique experience. Drawing from her training in both modalities, she will guide Yoga Nidrā alongside the soothing vibrations of her gong, singing bowls and other sacred instruments, crafting an immersive soundscape that supports deep rest, balance, and ease. Participants may find themselves hovering between wakefulness and sleep, held in a deeply restorative state.

Yoga Nidrā, often called yogic sleep, invites the body into profound rest while the mind remains gently aware. Paired with sound, the practice supports the nervous system in shifting from an active state into one of restoration, allowing brainwaves to slow and the mind to quiet without needing to do anything at all. In this spacious state, clarity can arise, stress softens, and a sense of renewal becomes accessible.

Centered around the energy of spring awakening, this experience offers an invitation to clear mental fog, release what is no longer needed, and reconnect with a deeper sense of wholeness and fresh beginnings.

Kat recommends wearing comfortable clothing, bringing anything that helps you feel cozy and supported such as a blanket or eye covering, a journal for reflection, and staying well hydrated before and after the practice.

Please note that the studio will have props, mats and blankets for comfort.
