Curious about Meditation?
Is Meditation for Me?
This beginner friendly workshop is designed for anyone curious about meditation and how it works. Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts, clearing your mind, or sitting perfectly still. It's not about doing it "right" - it is simply the practice of noticing your breath, your body, and your inner world, with kindness and curiosity.
We will gently explore the history of meditation, the different styles, and how it can support your nervous system and emotional well-being. We will guide you as you learn how to create a simple, sustainable practice that feels natural and fits into real life. Meditation may just be that tool you are needing to regulate your nervous system, soften stress, and create space between you and the noise of daily life.
No experience needed, no pressure to do it right; just an invitation to pause, breathe, and feel supported in your own body and community.
FREE CLASS - Cozy Core + Pelvic Floor
COZY CORE + PELVIC FLOOR is a free class with extra gentle movement leading into restorative shapes designed to bring awareness and relaxation, highlighting the breath and pelvic floor.

FULL BODY MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Join Brenda for a full body myofascial release and restorative practice. Myo refers to muscle; and fascia is the network of connective tissue that surrounds and includes your muscles. Healthy myofascia is key to mobility. Tight myofascial tissue can restrict movement in your muscles and joints. This can lead to widespread pain and discomfort. Fascial release uses a ball, foam roller or yoga block in conjunction with body weight to apply therapeutic pressure to improve the slide and glide of your tissues by eliminating knots and increasing hydration through the act of compressing and releasing, like a sponge. This sequence will help release the most common areas of tension, giving the muscles greater capacity to stretch and move. We will target one area at a time, releasing the fascia then retraining those released muscles to lengthen and engage in gentle yoga poses. The sequence will end with a relaxing restorative practice and savasana.
LUNAR FLOW w/Brenda
Join us for a yoga flow surrounded by the energy of the Full Moon. Lunar energy is cool, receptive and focused. It is the perfect antidote to the fast paced, achievement oriented solar energy that drives our world. A slow, easeful, practice built around moon salutations, lunar shapes and celestial asanas, space to pause, slow down, listen and balance.
YOGA FOR HEALTHY AGING COURSE
4 SESSION WELLNESS COURSE Sundays 3:00-5:00pm. This course is designed for students 50+ working towards a consistent yoga routine for healthy aging. The course will start with the basics so it is accessible for those with limited yoga experience; however, those with more experience will benefit from a deeper understanding of alignment, muscle integration and the creation of a sustainable yoga practice. 9.7 9.14 9.20 9.28 LIMITED TO 8 PARTICIPANTS
INTRO TO HYPNOTHERAPY
Join Guest Practitioner, Melissa Yonce-Hayes
What is hypnotherapy?
A hypnotherapy session is very much like a guided meditation. You will feel deeply relaxed as you are guided on a visual journey by the therapist. The purpose is to work directly with the subconscious mind to release limiting beliefs or habits you wish to let go of and replace them with what you do want. The
conscious mind is still aware and ultimately in control during the process.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
-Anxiety
-Habit Change
-Future Planning
-Chronic Pain
-Sleep Issues
-Self-Doubt
-And So Much More
Addressing common misconceptions about hypnotherapy:
-Hypnotherapy is NOT mind control
-You cannot be put into a state of hypnosis against your will
-Nothing will change that you don’t wish to change
-If something outstanding were to happen, for example a smoke alarm goes off, you will immediately be aware and will leave the building as you typically would
-You cannot be left in a state of hypnosis during our session
-You will not be made to quack like a duck or anything ridiculous
How this workshop will flow:
-After a brief introduction, I will speak about hypnotherapy and address any questions or concerns anyone has.
-Next, we will get into the hypnotherapy session itself. Note that each individual’s experience with hypnotherapy is their own, the therapist is simply a guide. We will start with taking a few relaxing breaths, closing our eyes, & doing a visualization exercise to get our bodies into a complete state of
relaxation. From there, we will go into the specific work we are addressing in the session. It is a very moving experience and many clients have teared up by the end of each session. If you are curious, but do not wish to participate in the hypnotherapy portion, you are welcome to simply stay and observe.
-To wrap up, depending on time, I will invite participants to share their experience if they feel inspired to do so.
