Yoga: From Doing to Being: A Nervous System Reset
Tuesday July 28, 2026 11:00am - 12:30pm EDT
This 90-minute wellness experience invites participants to reconnect with themselves through movement, music, breath, and rest.

We will begin with an accessible, feel good yoga practice set to a thoughtfully curated playlist featuring diverse musical influences. Through gentle movement, mindful stretching, and breathwork, participants will release tension, improve circulation, and create space throughout the body.

As the practice unfolds, the pace will gradually slow, allowing participants to settle into longer held stretches and restorative postures that support relaxation and nervous system regulation. The session will conclude with a guided somatic & sound meditation, offering an opportunity for deep rest, reflection, and renewal.

Designed for all levels and abilities, this experience balances movement and restoration, inviting participants to care for themselves in the same way they so often care for others.
Expect to leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and restored.
