Yoga.

Each day we’ll meet on our mats, connecting to both alignment and intuitive movement. All levels are welcome and encouraged, including and especially beginners! Support and modifications will be plentiful. Ease and gentleness will be cultivated. We’ll play with body awareness and self-love, growing each a little every day!

Hot/Cold Therapy.

Contrast therapy is an ancient practice utilized by cultures around the world for millenia, from traditional onsens in Japan, to plunge pools and saunas in Scandinavia, to the sweat lodges of Native American tribes. While it’s popularity has resurfaced in the fitness community for the physical benefits, the advantages extend far beyond this to the enhanced mood, cognition and warrior spirit.

Breathwork & Cacao.
