Reiki and Yin

with Lauren and Sarah 

$35

*Spaces are limited

Settle into a sanctuary of stillness where breath, energy, and intuition gently meet.

Join Lauren and Sarah for this 90 minute Yin Yoga and Reiki workshop, where you will be invited to slow down, soften, and go inward.

Long-held, supported yin postures create spaciousness in the body while easing tension in the fascia, joints, and subtle layers beneath the surface. As you deepen into each shape, healing  Reiki energy is offered to support the release of stagnant emotions, balance the nervous system, and open the pathways where emotions and old energy often linger.

We’ll move gently, holding shapes that invite deep release— unraveling tension in the body, while Reiki techniques will be offered to support emotional clearing, energetic balance, and a feeling of being held from the inside out.

*Spaces are limited!

Yin + Pin

with Sarah and Ellie

$55

*Spaces are limited

90-minutes of Yin Yoga interwoven with acupressure, acupuncture, and hands-on assists. 

We'll move slowly into long-held, supported shapes designed to access the deeper layers of fascia and connective tissue. As the body softens, gentle acupressure and optional acupuncture are offered to stimulate meridian pathways, encourage energetic flow, and support the body's natural healing response. Expect an atmosphere that invites softening and release, while supporting nervous system regulation, emotional unwinding, and quiet internal awareness.  

Acupuncture in Yin + Pin: Acupuncture is the painless insertion of hair-thin, sterile needles into specific points along the body's meridian systems (think of these as vast and dynamic energy highways flowing through your body). While acupuncture is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, in Yin + Pin we draw on its profound ability to regulate the nervous system, deepening the relaxation and release that Yin Yoga naturally invites. Toward the end of class, a few needles will be gently placed to close out the practice. 

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your lower legs and arms.

About Ellie: Ellie Blom is a licensed acupuncturist holding a Doctorate in Chinese Medicine from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical in Asheville, NC. Her approach to healing is deeply personal — shaped not only by her clinical work as an acupuncturist and herbalist, but by her own ever-evolving practices of yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong. Ellie is passionate about guiding people back into relationship with their bodies and supporting the integration of spirit and physical form. Central to her work is the belief that when we come into the right relationship with our own energy bodies, we open the door to deeper alignment, vitality, and wholeness.

BLOOM! A Spring Somatic Reset

with Daria

$35

As we emerge from winter’s hibernation and turn our faces toward the warmth of spring, something inside us stirs – the light lingers longer on our skin, breath deepens, energy returns.

Spring’s unsuspecting invitation: to not rush forward in a frenzy of doing, but to balance the tender stillness of yin with the rising fire of yang. You may feel the urge to burst into motion, to chase your dreams with urgency — and yet there is wisdom in a conscious pause. When we steady ourselves, we can direct this fresh vitality with clarity and devotion.

Bloom is a nourishing, grounding somatic yoga practice designed to help you harmonize these inner currents, fill your cup, and reconnect with the desires quietly asking to take root.

You’ll be guided through gentle movement to open the channels of your body — softening tight edges, awakening sleepy places, and creating space where you’ve been bracing. Through meditation, you’ll bring compassionate awareness to what is ready to be released.

We’ll close with a channeled writing ritual for the astrological new year, naming your intentions and envisioning them as already blossomed — felt in your body as truth.

Wear comfy clothes you can move around in & bring your journal. Leave feeling steady and spacious, released and rooted, with a renewed vision for the bright season ahead!
