Activate & Meditate: A 2-Part Weekend Workshop Series
Exploring the Inner and Outer Practices of Yoga

Sat., Nov. 14th from 11am-1pm & Sun, Nov. 15th 5:30-7pm

Join us and visiting instructor, Melissa Hughey, for a 2 part weekend series exploring the inner and outer practices of Yoga. You can sign up for a single class or both! Saturday: Inversions + Arm Balances and/or Sunday Reiki-Infused Restorative Sound Journey

Part I: Arm Balances & Inversions (Saturday @ 11-1pm)

A playful 2-hour workshop exploring arm balances and inversions through intentional movement, progressive preparation, and plenty of time to play.

We’ll begin with a full-body warm-up designed to prepare the wrists, shoulders, core, hips, and joints before breaking down a variety of arm balances and inversions. Accessible variations and options will be offered along the way, allowing you to explore at your own pace.

This workshop isn’t about achieving the “perfect” pose. It’s about curiosity, building strength and confidence, learning to trust yourself, and remembering how much fun it can be to play on your mat.

Come ready to move, explore, laugh, find different shapes, and maybe surprise yourself.

Part II: Reiki-Infused Restorative Sound Journey (Sunday @ 5:30-7pm)

Close the weekend by slowing down and turning inward. This 90-minute experience blends Restorative Yoga, Reiki, and immersive sound to support deep rest, grounding, and nervous system regulation.

You’ll settle into gentle, supported Restorative postures held for longer periods of time while being immersed in the vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments. Sound will be woven throughout the entire practice, creating space to soften, release, and turn your awareness inward.

Reiki will also be offered throughout the experience, adding another layer of energetic support and relaxation as you move toward deeper stillness and rest.

No prior experience with yoga, Reiki, or sound healing is needed. Come as you are and give yourself permission to slow down, soften, receive, and simply be.
