The seven major chakras are at the center of the entire energy system of the human experience and are related to specific physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic qualities.
Though every chakra is present in the entire body and field of consciousness, it is at each of these seven locations that subtle forces and bodily functions combine to create a center for holistic healing and transformation.

Somatic Yin & Meditation
2025-11-22 09:00 - 2025-12-07 16:00
Somatic Yin & Meditation
November 22 & 23
December 6 & 7

Indulge in a somatic and meditative experience of passive stretching and subtle movement, which will cultivate a deeper inner awareness, regulate your nervous system, and restore balance to deep connective tissue, ligaments, joints, bones, and fascial networks.
Yin is the more passive and receptive energy to its Yang counterpart. While Yang ‘goes out and forces things to happen, A yin approach surrenders and receives what naturally arises. As you continue this practice, you will realize a shift in your mental attitude that is more relaxed, calm, and accepting. This practice rests in the philosophy of the Tao, which is to let things be as they are, do less, and enjoy more of what is already present. Space is provided for journaling and art to record what arises from the layers of consciousness and wisdom that exist within. This class provides an entry level experience of Somatic Yoga Therapy and its healing benefits.
For this class, gather pillows, blankets, and your favorite yoga props. Wear loose, comfy clothing, and bring a journal.
