Pop-Up Class: Restorative + Yin Yoga
Restorative + Yin Yoga is a slow, grounding class designed to help you unwind from the week and gently reset for what’s ahead. Blending yin and restorative styles, you’ll move into simple, supported shapes that allow the body to soften, release tension, and settle the nervous system. This practice isn’t about effort or intensity—it’s about slowing down, tuning in, and giving your body the space it needs to let go. Expect longer holds, the use of props for full support, and moments of stillness to help you reconnect. You’ll leave feeling more open, calm, and centered—ready to begin again."

Turn your world peacefully upside down in this welcoming, all-levels exploration led by author and our 200Hr teacher trainer Melanie Salvatore-August. Designed for every body, this session demystifies inversions by breaking down functional mechanics using supportive props and accessible adaptations to safely invert.
Going upside down offers profound physical and mental rewards. You will actively shift your perspective, improve circulation, and stimulate natural detoxification. Inversions gently reduce compression in the spine while building upper body and core strength.
Beyond the physical benefits, mastering these shapes is deeply empowering. You will leave the mat with sharp focus, renewed confidence, and a playful spirit. No prior inversion experience is required. Whether you are an inversions master or a gentle beginner, come explore, feel renewed, and find your balance!

Pop-up: Group reiki & essential oils
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.
