YOGA & MOVEMENT
Slow Flow Yoga: Move, Breathe, Release with Zeke Francisco
This slow-flow yoga class is designed to help participants settle into their bodies and reconnect with their breath through gentle, intentional movement. The unhurried pace makes it welcoming for both beginners and experienced practitioners. We’ll move through a grounded sequence that builds warmth without rushing, followed by time to rest and integrate. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace and rest whenever needed.
Sunset Yoga with Carrie Luna
Gather ‘neath the Oak Tree at sunset for a gentle, grounding and heart opening movement meditation. Come as you are and move at your own pace. Zero yoga experience required.

Elemental Yoga with Meraiah Browning
From Meraiah’s very first practice at 16, She felt an immediate connection—not just to yoga, but to the sense of peace and presence it brought to life. Yoga quickly became a daily ritual and a cornerstone of personal growth. At eighteen she enrolled in her first teacher training program, starting a life long journey rooted in reciprocity, long term healing, and sacred connection. Her training and studies include ashtanga, vinyasa, hatha, yin, meditation, pranayama, herbalism, and the path of Kriya yoga.
She believes yoga is more than just movement—it's an opportunity to create space and to return to the self. In her classes, you’ll find an intentional balance of strength and stillness, with a focus on meeting yourself exactly where you are. Her goal is to support and inspire you as you reconnect with your body, mind, and the ritual of living in right relation.
Hatha yoga is the foundation of the physical practices of yoga.. It involves a sequence of postures with emphasis on the breath and the mind-body connection. Practice will be slow with more static posture holds than found in other styles. This class is a balanced, nature-inspired practice that harmonizes Hatha postures, breathwork (pranayama), and meditation. It sequences movement around the five core elements—Earth (stability), Water (flow), Fire (transformation), Air (expansion), and Space (stillness)—to cultivate physical strength, mental clarity, and deep relaxation. This class is appropriate for all levels and abilities as postures can be modified to address the needs of all students. Beginner-friendly.
Rewilding Using Ecosomatics & Yoga with Caitlin Brown
For 99% of human history, we were in tune with the rhythms of Nature, recognizing our interdependence and interbeing with the Living Earth.

In this Rewilding workshop, we will reconnect to the Land through our bodies in order to feel our interconnection and heal. Join yoga therapist Caitlin Brown to learn about and cultivate interbeing with the Living Earth, and the role that Yoga and Mindfulness can play in this interconnection. We will tune into the rhythms of Nature through gentle movement, discussion, meditation, and breathwork.

Yoga Nidra Sound Journey with Juliana Fox
Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic or psychic sleep, is a deeply relaxing and meditative practice that allows you to enter a state of profound relaxation while remaining fully aware. It is a powerful technique that helps release stress, tension, and anxiety, promoting overall well-being.

🌙Returning to Her, Returning to Me with Paige Pankey: A Somatic Experience for Women
Motherhood can awaken deep love—and old patterns.
In this gentle somatic circle, we’ll explore what lives in the body and begin to shift it through breath, reflection, and slow, grounding movement.
This is not about becoming a better mother, but a more whole and connected woman.
Come to release, reconnect, and return to yourself.
Hi I’m Paige! I am a mother of three a birth doula, and a yoga teacher, walking the path of motherhood alongside the women I support. My work is rooted in yoga, meditation, and embodied movement, shaped by training in India in 2017 and deepened through my own lived experience of becoming a mother.

This is the work of returning—
to her, returning to me.

Ecstatic Dance with Charity Loring
AKA Conscious Clubbing, is a consent based movement practice that encourages music to be your intoxicant. Whether you’re any good at dancing or not is irrelevant — this is simply about letting go, “releasing the beast”, gently releasing, or moving freely in any way you wish, by being true to yourself. To move freely in our dances is about expression, not perfection. We set judgment aside, of ourselves, and others. Judgment usually requires punishment. Instead, we use Discernment in listening to what our minds and bodies need in each moment. Show up for yourself and others, close your eyes, take a deep breath and move with us through this supportive journey.
