WITH DESIRAE PENTON, JOE BOB MERRITT, HEIDI MAGNUS AND MEEGHAN HALEY

Join us this Earth Day for a soul-nourishing journey rooted in reverence for the natural world. We’ll begin by grounding ourselves through intentional movement—an all-levels yoga practice designed to awaken the body and attune us to the rhythms of the Earth. From there, we’ll move into stillness with guided meditation, centering on the abundant gifts of Mother Earth and our place within her sacred web.

To close, we’ll gather in ceremony with plant allies—inviting their wisdom through ritual, reflection, and the sacred act of planting. Each participant will receive a plant to nurture and place into the Earth, symbolizing our intention to care for the planet and cultivate deeper connection.

This experience is an offering of gratitude, renewal, and rooted presence as we honor the living ground beneath our feet and the breath that connects us all.

Come as you are, and return to the Earth within.

With Jere Friedman

Feeling stressed out? Unwind into a state of total relaxation by setting your intention and experiencing deep rest and meditation. Jere will guide you in yoga nidra, also known as "yogic sleep," which is a state of conscious relaxation. Yoga nidra is practiced while lying down - no yoga experience whatsoever is required! Guided instructions will help you systematically relax your body and mind, fostering a state between wakefulness and sleep. Yoga nidra can reduce stress, improve sleep quality, enhance mental clarity, and promote overall well-being. 

Jere will add the sound of gongs, singing bowls, and other instruments to envelop your body, mind, and spirit in healing and energizing vibrations. Try Yoga Nidra + Gongbath for Total Relaxation to take your own personal journey to a deep level of inner peace, rejuvenation, and re-energization.
