Indulge in serenity with Sarah's Slow Flow Yoga class. Let her expert guidance lead you through a gentle, meditative practice, promoting deep relaxation and inner balance. Perfect for all levels, Sarah's class is your sanctuary for a tranquil escape.

Settle in, let go, and allow yourself to be deeply supported. This restorative yoga class uses props to create comfort and ease in the body, inviting the nervous system to unwind and mind to soften.

Vinyasa is a type of yoga that links movement and breath to attain balance in the minds and body. Vinyasa aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow. Sarah’s Vinyasa flows are creative and most often lead into a peak pose.

This is an all-levels class that offers gentle movement, mindful breath, and space to soften. A beautiful way to reset and reconnect.

Align & Refine is a slow flow practice designed to help you build strength, improve balance, and move with greater awareness. With the support of chairs and props, it's accessible yet challenging - making it a wonderful option for seniors, beginners, and anyone looking to move with more intention.

Flow & Restore weaves together dynamic, fluid movement with deep, restorative holds. Drawing from a blend of slow-flow yoga and intuitive motion, we’ll move with a somatic focus, allowing your body's wisdom to guide you through each posture. This class is designed to release stagnant energy and tension from both the body and mind. 

As an Intuitive Reiki Guide, Katie will gently infuse the space with Reiki energy and offer aura cleansing techniques to support your healing journey. She also leads visual guided meditations to support deep rest during savasana, helping you to integrate the practice and reconnect with your most authentic self.

This class is a safe space where you can quiet your mind, release what no longer serves you, and leave feeling a profound sense of calm, clarity, and restoration. No prior yoga experience is needed—just an open heart. Come as you are and allow yourself to unwind.

Chair Yoga is a gentle and accessible form of Hatha yoga that makes the physical and mental benefits of a traditional mat practice available to everyone, regardless of age, mobility, or fitness level. In this welcoming class, all postures and movements are adapted to be performed while seated or using a sturdy chair for support and balance, so there is no need to get up or down from the floor.

What to Expect:
The class begins with guided breathing exercises and a seated warm-up to center the mind and loosen physical tension. You will then be guided through a series of gentle stretches and modified poses designed to improve range of motion in the spine, hips, shoulders, and legs. The second portion of class may include optional standing poses, such as Warrior variations, where the chair is used for stability to build strength and enhance balance. The session concludes with a seated cool-down and a final relaxation (Savasana) to leave you feeling calm, refreshed, and grounded.

Key Benefits:

• Increased Flexibility and Mobility: Gently stretches stiff muscles and keeps joints limber, which helps with everyday movements and reduces stiffness.
• Improved Strength and Balance: Builds core, leg, and upper body strength and improves body awareness, which can help reduce the risk of falls.
• Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity: Incorporates mindfulness and breathing techniques to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote better sleep.

Who is this class for?
This class is suitable for all levels, and no prior yoga experience is necessary. It is an excellent option for:

• Individuals with limited mobility due to age, chronic conditions (like arthritis or osteoporosis), or recovery from injury/surgery.
• Those concerned about balance or who have difficulty standing for long periods.
• Office workers looking for a break from their desk to stretch and relieve tension.
• Anyone seeking a gentle entry point to yoga or a low-impact way to stay active.

Yogalates is a balanced blend of yoga and mat Pilates designed to build strength, stability, and mindful connection in the body. This class will be led by Sarah.

This class pairs:

• Yoga's grounding, breath-centered movement

• Pilates' core-focused, controlled strengthening exercises

Together, they create a practice that supports both mobility and muscular endurance while keeping you deeply connected to your breath.

Expect a mix of:

• gentle warm-up flows

• core and glute strengthening

• mindful transitions

• lengthening stretches to release tension

Yogalates is accessible for all levels and offers a playful, supportive way to build strength from the inside out - without losing the calming, intentional feel of yoga.

What You’ll Experience:

Each gathering blends somatic movement, yoga, and meditation — three modalities that beautifully complement one another.

Somatic movement helps you reconnect with your body’s natural patterns of ease.

It’s a gentle, intuitive practice that invites slow, mindful exploration so you can release stored tension, increase mobility, and retrain the nervous system toward safety and softness. Rather than forcing movement, we listen for what the body is ready to offer.

Yoga supports this work by creating structure, stability, and intentional breath.

The shapes help you both ground and expand, offering a familiar framework for your body to rest into as you explore the inner landscape.

Sound Meditation anchors everything together.

As the mind settles, the body softens. As the body softens, the mind becomes clearer. Sharon will serenade you with Native American Flute music.

Yoga and meditation have always worked hand in hand — one preparing you for the other, guiding you toward a deeper sense of presence and inner steadiness.

When these three practices interweave, they create a powerful pathway for regulation, clarity, and reconnection. You leave feeling more centered, spacious, and attuned to your own inner wisdom.

Celebrate Valentine's Day with an intimate, private Couples Sound Bath, a unique experience to deepen your connection through immersive sound healing, promoting deep relaxation, stress release, and heart-centered harmony in a sacred space, perfect for unwinding and nurturing your bond away from the usual hustle.
