Join Angela Manzer in a 90-Minute Integrated Practice of Prāṇāyāma, Āsana & Yoga Nidra
The intention of Akhanda Rest is to offer a grounded, lineage-rooted space for deep rest that supports nervous system regulation, inner steadiness, and sustainable well-being. This offering honours the Akhanda Yoga tradition by guiding students through a complete and progressive practice, allowing rest to arise naturally through preparation of the breath and body rather than as a stand-alone technique. The intention is to provide a quiet, supportive container for restoration that feels accessible, intentional, and deeply nourishing.
A deeply nurturing session that combines the gentle stillness of Restorative Yoga with the subtle healing energy of Reiki.
As your body relaxes in a fully supported postures, Reiki is offered to encourage energetic balance, emotional release, and inner calm.
This experience is ideal for anyone seeking profouund rest, nervous system reset, and quiet renewal.
No experience needed, come as you are and receive.
Also known as sound meditation, a sound bath is a healing experience that activates the parasympathetic nervous system and modifies brainwave states.
Join Kyla Campbell for an experience that promotes deep relaxation, balances energy, and provides opportunities for physical, mental, emotional, and energetic release. Through the various tones and vibrations of singing bowls, vocal toning, and other instruments, the body is supported in shifting into a higher frequency. In this state, miraculous changes can occur.

Join us as the seasons shift and our energy follows.
In this session, you’ll receive community-style acupuncture—a gentle, deeply restorative treatment offered in a shared space. This collective setting allows us to tap into the power of group healing, where individual stillness supports the whole. We'll use points that support emotional release, and deepen your breath and presence.
Whether you're brand new to acupuncture or a long-time recipient, this is an opportunity to settle into yourself and attune to the quieter rhythms of the season—together.
Restorative Yoga for Reflection & Refinement
In yoga and in life, structure creates freedom—and through thoughtful use of props, breath, and geometry, we build a container that allows the nervous system to unwind and the body to reorganize itself.
With poetic metaphor, precise placement, and a touch of seasonal ritual, this practice is both deeply grounding and expansive, helping you settle into the wisdom of the season with grace.
Facilitated by Luisa Quezada (200 E-RYT,YACEP\RPYT) and Tira Mills (Registered Acupuncturist)
This is not a stretch class.
It is a nervous system focused practice designed to help the body slow down, soften, and rest.
Your nervous system is constantly responding to conditions.
Stress, pressure, uncertainty, overstimulation, lack of rest, and constant output can leave the body in a prolonged state of readiness — even long after the stressful period has passed.
Many people live this way without realizing it.
Tired but unable to fully rest.
Tense without knowing why.
Always preparing for what comes next.
This series is designed to interrupt that pattern through repetition, stillness, predictability, support, and time.
Each 90-minute class includes gentle long-held yin postures, low visual and audio stimulus, weighted sandbags, spacious pacing, and very little demand.
The weighted sandbags are used intentionally throughout the practice to help the body feel more supported and settled. Gentle pressure on the body can act as a safety signal to the nervous system.
When the body feels held, supported, and physically contained, it often becomes easier for muscles to soften, breathing to slow, and tension to decrease.
Many people do not realize how much readiness they are carrying until the body is finally given permission to stop holding itself up so strongly.
Over five consecutive days, the body begins to recognize the environment as predictable and familiar.
The same room.
The same sequence.
The same pace.
Over time, many people notice:
-
deeper rest
-
softer breathing
-
less tension
-
improved sleep
-
emotional settling
-
a quieter mind
Not because they are “trying harder” to relax —
but because the body is no longer preparing so intensely.
