Service Description

Join us in community to honor and embrace the shift from summer's warmth to autumn's harvest and the inward journey ahead. Through a combination of light movement, meditation, and restorative yoga, you will be guided to connect deeply with the rhythms of fall, fostering a sense of balance, release, and preparation for the inward journey ahead. Our practice will focus on the themes of balance, release, and harvesting gratitude. We’ll start with gentle movement, transition into mindful meditation, and conclude with a series of deeply nourishing restorative yoga postures designed to cultivate balance and a grateful heart. Seasonal poetry and teachings will be woven throughout this special celebration together. Special Ceremony: Please feel free to bring items from nature that resonate with the fall season (if you wish!). These could include autumn leaves, acorns, pine cones, seeds, berries, small branches, or dried flowers. Don’t worry if you forget; we will have items at the studio, too.
