  • Lunar Flow

    with Autumn Pavlat

    October 11, 18, 25, and November 1

    Series: $99 | $40 for members
    Individual Sessions: $35 | $12 for members

    This 4-week series invites students to align their practice and manifestations with the natural rhythm of the lunar cycle. Each week corresponds to a different phase of the moon, offering a unique blend of movement, reflection, and journal prompts.

    From grounding and setting intentions during the New Moon, to building strength and momentum through dynamic vinyasa flows, and releasing and slowing down with restorative and yin practices, this series creates a balanced and meaningful progression aligned with students unique intentions.

    This workshop will be thoughtfully created to guide students in how we can work with the lunar cycles throughout the month to manifest and set intentions.

    Each week includes guided movement, moments for personal reflection, and optional journaling prompts, encouraging students to connect deeply with themselves as well as the moon. Journals provided.

  • Myofascial Workshop

    with Cora Supenski

    Sunday, November 8th | 2:00–3:30 PM
    $40 | $35 for members

    This workshop offers an introduction to myofascial release—a gentle, effective approach to releasing tension in the body’s connective tissue (fascia) to support mobility, comfort, and ease of movement.

    Through guided techniques, mindful movement, and body awareness, participants will learn how fascia affects posture, pain, and flexibility—and how simple release practices can help reduce chronic tightness, improve circulation, and support long-term well-being.

    Led by Cora Supenski, this workshop blends education with hands-on, experiential learning, giving participants practical tools they can continue using at home. The pace is slow, supportive, and accessible, making it ideal for anyone feeling stiff, sore, stressed, or curious about therapeutic movement beyond traditional stretching.

    No prior experience is necessary. All bodies are welcome.

  • Holiday Exhale

    November 29, December 6, 13 & 20

    Series: $99 | $40 for members
    Individual Sessions: $35 | $12 for members

    This series will consist of four nourishing, candlelit evenings designed to invite you to unwind, reset, and reconnect. Through gentle and supported restorative yoga poses, your body will be invited into a state of complete relaxation—allowing tension to melt away and the nervous system to soften.

    As you rest, you will also have the option to receive hands-on or hands-off Reiki energy healing to support emotional balance, inner peace, and energetic alignment. This subtle yet powerful practice works to clear stagnant energy, leaving you feeling lighter, more grounded, and deeply restored.

    This workshop is perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or simply in need of a quiet moment to breathe during the holiday season. All are welcome.
