Rest in Awareness, Restorative Yoga + Yoga Nidra. Sunday, May 31st, 7-8:30pm
Join me for an evening of deep rest as we blend the gentle practices of restorative yoga and yoga nidra. This 90-minute class includes 60 minutes of restorative yoga, where props are used to support and hold the body, promoting profound physical and mental release. We’ll conclude with a 30-minute guided yoga nidra, an ancient meditative practice translated as “dynamic sleep.” This practice cultivates a state of non-doing, allowing us to release deep-seated tension and emerge feeling lighter and deeply nourished.

Breathe-to-Balance, Pranayama (breathwork) class. Sunday, June 7th, 2-3:15pm
If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath. -Amit Ray
In this 75-minute class, we’ll explore the transformative power of pranayama (breathwork or “conscious breathing” rooted in yogic wisdom) to self-regulate and balance the nervous system. We’ll begin with 15 minutes of gentle movement (asana) to open the chest, side body, and upper-mid back. After reviewing proper techniques, benefits, and contraindications, we’ll move into our pranayama practice. We’ll conclude with a grounding meditation and time for reflection. Beginners to yoga and breathwork are always welcome.
A note on my approach to breathwork - I teach breathwork using a trauma-informed lens as part of a holistic yoga practice. If you are pregnant or have been diagnosed with a lung condition, please contact me before registering to discuss whether this offering is suitable for you.
When: Sunday, June 7th, 2-3:15pm
Location: Inner Light Community Center, 5150 Stilesboro Rd NW, Suite 320, Kennesaw, GA 30152
Investment: $25. Please bring your mat, journal, and a pen. Yoga props are available for your use.
Moon Flow: A New Moon Yoga Practice, Saturday, June 13th, 4-5:15pm
Join me for a 75-minute practice inspired by the quiet, receptive energy of the moon. Taking place the evening before the new moon, this class invites us to slow down, turn inward, and move in rhythm with the body and breath.
We’ll begin with Moon Salutations (Chandra Namaskar), a flowing and repetitive sequence traditionally associated with lunar energy. While the practice can gently build heat in the body, the steady repetition creates a meditative rhythm, like waves moving back and forth with the tide. This rhythmic movement can help settle the nervous system, soften mental chatter, and invite the attention inward. Moon salutations are often practiced to cultivate receptivity, balance, ease, and reflection.
From there, we’ll transition into cooling pranayama (breathwork) practices designed to soothe and regulate the nervous system while deepening qualities often associated with lunar energy: nourishment, spaciousness, intuition, and renewal. We’ll close with a brief guided meditation and time to rest.
This practice is open to all levels, including beginners.
When: Saturday, June 13th, 4-5:15pm
Location: Inner Light Community Center, 5150 Stilesboro Rd NW, Suite 320, Kennesaw, GA 30152
Investment: $25. Please bring your mat. Yoga props are available for your use.
