Slow movement, targeted stretching and longer holds with the support of the low-hanging yoga trapeze will nourish the body’s connective tissue, otherwise known as fascia, release tension from the muscles and joints and decompress the spine.

New to yoga (or coming back after a break)? This class is for you.

Beginner Yoga is a friendly, supportive space where you’ll learn the foundations: breath, basic postures, safe alignment, and simple transitions at a steady, unhurried pace. Expect a gentle flow with clear step-by-step guidance, options for every body, and plenty of time to ask questions and settle in.

We’ll build strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence without pressure to “keep up.” You’ll leave feeling more grounded, open, and refreshed.

Perfect for: brand-new students, those returning to yoga, anyone wanting to refine the basics

What to bring: water (we have mats/props, or bring your own)

Notes: You’ll always be offered modifications and props to support your body. Come exactly as you are.

Stability, support, and nervous system grounding

Rooted is a deeply grounding soundbath designed to help the body reconnect with a sense of stability and support. Low, steady drum rhythms encourage awareness in the legs, hips, and lower body, promoting a felt sense of safety and belonging.

This experience is especially supportive during times of stress, uncertainty, or burnout.

Reiki, intentional aromatherapy, and other supportive sound instruments may be woven into the session at the discretion of Ingrid and Celeste.

Celeste is a handcrafted body drum used intentionally to support grounding and nervous system regulation. Feel free to bring a journal, a few minutes will be offered to free flow writing.

Energy Reset & Aromatherapy Support

Step into a calm, nurturing space to restore your energy, quiet your mind, and reconnect to your center.

In this group experience, you’ll receive Reiki, a gentle, hands-off energy healing, while being supported by carefully selected essential oils to deepen relaxation, balance the nervous system, and help you feel grounded and clear. We’ll begin with a short intention-setting and breath practice, then you’ll settle into a comfortable resting position (lying down or seated).

Reiki is offered in a group format as you rest, allowing the energy to flow where your body and spirit need it most.

Throughout the session, we’ll incorporate essential oils through aromatherapy (diffusing and optional topical application), chosen to match the theme of the class. For example: stress relief, emotional balance, immune support, or deep sleep.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more aligned, like you got a full energetic “reset.”

Perfect for: stress, overwhelm, emotional heaviness, low energy, busy minds, anyone craving calm

What to expect: intention-setting, guided relaxation, group Reiki, aromatherapy, quiet integration time

What to bring: water, cozy layers; feel free to bring a journal

Good to know: no experience needed; you’ll be fully guided. Essential oils are always optional, with alternatives available for sensitivities.

A grounding introduction to body-based sound This soundbath offers a gentle invitation into stillness and safety. Through slow, steady body drumming, spacious silence, and subtle energy work, participants are guided out of “doing” and into simply being. Celeste’s rhythm is introduced softly, allowing the nervous system to settle without effort. Long pauses between sounds support deep rest, grounding, and a sense of being held.

Reiki energy work, aromatherapy, and additional sound elements may be included as guided by the needs of the group and the discretion of Ingrid and Celeste.

Celeste is a handcrafted body drum used intentionally to support grounding and nervous system regulation. Feel free to bring a journal, a few minutes will be offered to free flow writing.
