Arrive in Your Body: A Gentle Moving Energy Yoga Practice
A soft, grounding opening practice to help you arrive fully in your body after travel and transition into retreat mode. Through gentle movement, breath awareness, pulsing, stretching, and longer-held shapes, this class releases travel tension, calms the nervous system, and awakens a feeling of spaciousness from the inside out. Accessible, soothing, and deeply embodied — a perfect first practice for the weekend.
Intensity of Practice: 3 – All Levels
10% Discussion, 75% Asana/Movement, 5% Pranayama, 10% Other (guided relaxation/somatic awareness)
Saturday 7:00–8:30am
Return to Radiance: A Moving Energy & Coherence Activation Practice
A 90-minute embodied morning practice designed to awaken energy, release stiffness, and bring your whole system into a state of coherence. Through the signature language of Moving Energy Yoga — pulsing, wriggling, breath, sound, mindful movement, longer-held shapes, and gentle core activation — you’ll be invited to coax energy through the body rather than push or perform. The movement is followed by a guided coherence activation: a deeply restful inner practice supporting nervous system regulation, clarity, and integration, closing with short journaling and optional sharing.
Intensity of Practice: 3 – All Levels
10% Discussion, 60% Asana/Movement, 10% Pranayama, 20% Other (guided meditation, coherence activation, journaling)
Sunday 9:30–10:45am
Your Body Knows the Way: Learn to Listen, Let It Lead
A final Moving Energy Yoga practice designed to help you deepen the conversation with your own body and leave with simple tools for daily life. So often we move from habit or external instruction without realizing how much the body is already communicating. Here, you’ll slow down, listen through sensation, and respond with breath, pulsing, wriggling, softening, spinal release, and gentle core activation — learning a simple take-home method: pause, listen, breathe, move, soften, integrate.
Intensity of Practice: 4 – All Levels
10% Discussion, 70% Asana/Movement, 5% Pranayama, 15% Other (guided relaxation/integration/take-home practice)
