Fall Equinox Sound Bath and Yoga Nidra w/ Elisabeth and Michele
Sunday, September 20th | 2-4 pm | $40 or $75 for two people
Join us on September 20 for a restorative Fall Equinox Sound Bath and Yoga Nidra designed to anchor you as day and night reach perfect, sacred balance. As the equinox marks a shift toward inward reflection and seasonal harvest, this immersive journey helps you recalibrate your energy and release what no longer serves you. With Black Moon Lilith initiating at 0° Capricorn, we step into a surge of raw personal authority, empowering you to dismantle rigid expectations and reclaim your authentic power. Simultaneously, Chiron at the critical 29th degree of Aries invites a deep, final integration of core identity wounds, transforming old self-doubt into courage and self-sovereignty. Through meditative sound vibration and conscious rest, you will integrate these potent cosmological shifts, leaving you deeply rooted, steadily on your healing path, and ready for the cycle ahead.
No previous experience needed, props and mats will be provided. Please wear comfortable clothing, bring a water bottle & journal/pen if you’d like. If you are prone to headaches, please bring a head covering (beanie, hat, bandana, etc).

Free Monthly Yin Classes for Summer w/ Byrd
Thursday, September 24th | 7:30-8:30 pm | Free
Summer moves fast. Come on in for an hour to slow down and connect with your breath and body. Notice where you’ve been. Notice where you are. Allow gravity. Allow release. Give time to the parts that want a bit of stillness and quiet so that you can continue to be present in this season of heat and movement.
This will be a series of four free Yin classes meeting once a month on the following Thursdays 7:30-8:30pm:
•September 24th
Feel free to come to any or all classes
Yin yoga draws from traditional Chinese medicine in its approach to movement and energy, and it involves longer holds of 1-10 minutes. We use props—blankets, bolsters, and blocks—so you can be supported as you release tension.

Community Acupuncture for Collective Resistance is a monthly donation-based offering created by Ray of Ray Himmelman Acupuncture and Nikki of Perenial Acupuncture.

All proceeds go to local mutual aid efforts!
Sonic Reiki w/ luci smith *aka mmluci*
Saturday, October 3rd | 6-8 pm | $40 or $75 for two people
Reiki is traditionally directed through touch, with practitioners placing hands in alignment with the 7 chakras to channel unversal life force energy to the person receiving it. For this workshop, DJ, producer, sound collage artist and reiki practitioner luci smith *aka mmluci* will expand on this practice and channel reiki through sound, utilizing a hybrid setup of machine instruments and layered tracks to immerse attendees in richly textural ambient atmospheres that align with each chakra.
Imagine the immersive, sound-centered quality of a deep listening session and the tranquility of a sound bath combined with the spiritual, emotional and physical benefits of reiki as it is channeled and sent with the physical sound waves.
Attendees can expect to lay on a mat with props and blankets for comfort and experience a 75 minute session, pushed through a full spectrum 4-point sound system, that will move deliberately through articulately sculpted sonic atmospheres aligned with each of the 7 chakras.
This practice will promote deep relaxation, spiritual and emotional attunement, and push the boundaries of what a group reiki experience can feel like. This will be an immensely unique and powerfully healing communal experience that is not to be missed.
A Slow Flow & Restorative Yoga Experience with Live Cello with Halen Bower and Allegra Montanari

Join us for a gentle slow flow and restorative yoga practice accompanied by the rich, grounding sound of live cello. Together we’ll breathe, soften, and reconnect—with ourselves, with our bodies, and with one another.
Our community has been holding a great deal. Whether you’re carrying stress, grief, burnout, or simply longing for a quiet place to land, you are welcome here. This evening is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and remember that healing happens not only within us, but between us.
Sound Bath w/ Michele
Sunday, October 25th | 7-8 pm | $20
According to yogic philosophy, liberation comes when the mind can be directed and one’s inner light takes the lead. Paying attention to the activity of our senses is one way to direct the mind, and hearing is one of the 5 primary human senses. When we become fully aware of our hearing sense, with a heart of curiosity, we can decrease the tendency of the mind to act as master. Further, therapeutic sound has a unique ability to call forth the parasympathetic nervous response, as the ears are a seat for this part of our nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous response brings forth the feelings and sensations of relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation. In a world that largely activates only our sympathetic nervous responses, therapeutic sound is so incredibly needed right now. Therapeutic sound can entrain the mind’s vibration into one of steadiness and directability.
In these monthly workshops, we will start with restorative breathwork that fses on lengthening the exhale, which is another way that yogic philosophy says will mold the mind into a more redirectable form. Then we will move into relaxation within the vibrations of therapeutic sound. The instruments of gongs, crystal sound bowls, and drums will be used to create these therapeutic sounds.
No previous experience needed. Please wear comfortable clothing. If you are prone to headaches, please bring a head covering (beanie, hat, bandana, etc). Minimum age requirement is 11 years old.
We are so excited to welcome you to a Yess Yoga special offering or training. We have a 48 hr cancellation policy. Please email [email protected] if you no longer can make it to the workshop you signed up for. If you are unable to attend class or email after 48 hours to the start of the workshop, a credit(s) will be deducted from your account.
Thank you
