The Pause
As we did last year, in August we PAUSE. Enjoy a lighter live stream yoga schedule, catch up on new on-demand content, and join me for Letting Be : our 5-day live stream meditation series. Find time for rest and spaciousness every day as the desire to produce softens in the heat of summer.

Service

Doorway
Beginning in January 2023 and continuing through July 2023, we will explore one of the major seven chakras each month. For January, we study and practice with the first chakra which we can consider the DOORWAY to our physical body, to the architecture of our energy body, and to the system as a whole.
