Cultivating Contentment Through Movement and Breath
Join us for Santosa: Embracing the Present Moment, a deeply enriching workshop designed to foster contentment and inner peace, inspired by the Sanskrit term Santosa, meaning complete contentment and acceptance of the present. This extended session blends gentle yoga poses, mindful movement, pranayama (conscious breathwork), guided meditation, and visualization to help you cultivate a profound sense of presence and harmony within.
Through carefully crafted asana sequences, you’ll explore intuitive movement, listening to your body’s natural signals to release tension and foster balance. Pranayama practices will guide you to harness the power of breath, calming the mind and energizing the body. Our guided meditation and visualization exercises will invite you to let go of external distractions, connect deeply with your inner self, and embrace the moment with clarity and ease.

Suitable for all levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners, this workshop offers a safe and supportive space to explore the mind-body-soul connection. Wear comfortable clothing, bring an open heart, and, if possible, a blanket for the relaxation portion.

The Art of Stretching & Intuitive Yoga
Join us for The Art of Stretching & Intuitive Yoga, a workshop that blends mindful stretching with intuitive yoga practice to deepen your mind-body connection. Led by Charles, a seasoned instructor, we begin by delving into the practical application of stretching techniques tailored to enhance each asana, helping you discover the optimal approach for flexibility, strength, and balance. You’ll explore stretching as a moving meditation, integrating Dharana (concentration) and Ahimsa (non-violence) to find balance between effort and grace. Move beyond overthinking to connect deeply with your body’s signals, using breathwork and visualization to foster self-awareness and inner calm. Inspired by the instinctual wisdom of animals, trust your inner teacher to navigate the dynamic interplay of effort and release. Suitable for all levels, no prior experience needed. Wear comfortable clothing and bring an open heart.
Sunday, 1-4 pm
Harmony in Breath: Yoga for Vitality and Joy
Join us for Harmony in Breath: Yoga for Vitality and Joy, a rejuvenating workshop designed to awaken your vitality and cultivate joy through the transformative power of breath-centered yoga. This session blends mindful asana, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation to help you harness the full potential of your breath, enhancing both your physical practice and inner well-being.
We’ll begin by learning simple, natural breathing techniques, exploring how to engage all eight areas of your lungs in various combinations to support a breath-centered asana practice. Many practitioners unintentionally sacrifice breath when moving deeply into poses, developing habits that limit vitality. In this workshop, you’ll discover how to prioritize breath, using specific combinations to enhance each pose, from grounding postures to dynamic flows. This approach not only deepens your practice but also fosters a profound sense of ease and joy. Through guided asana and pranayama, you’ll experience the transformative difference a breath-focused practice makes, leaving you energized and connected.
