Take a deep dive into the structure and mechanics of a specific asana and learn what muscles and joints are required to create and stabilize the shape in your own body. Jill will help you explore active and passive actions, and guide you through variations of the posture in seated, standing, lying, or inverted options. This is an open-format workshop and yogis are encouraged to ask questions throughout.

There are a whole bunch of shapes that involve deep flexion of the spine and curling in of the legs to create a "tuck" form, the theme for May. We'll ignite the abdominal muscles to create core compression and connect to the strength of the hip flexors to pull the thighs in close. Asana will include seated folds like Marichyasana, standing balances like "Flamingo", and potentially some inverted balances like Bakasana (Crane Pose) and a tuck/half-tuck handstand.

We are in the season of new blooms. As we move through the vitality of Spring, we're invited to nurture our ideas, plant seeds and connect with the renewal of nature. This is a time of rebirth, growth, awakening and the beginning of new life. We are encouraged to reflect on and acknowledge the cyclical patterns of our lives, embrace the energy of change, and align our efforts towards personal and collective transformation.

Join Yera and Alicia as we honor this time by sitting in circle, practicing breathwork, yin and restorative poses, and with live music and chanting. Our intention is to nourish the potency of this moment and nurture our ability to actualize our hearts' wildest dreams.

This sacred day is celebrated through ceremonies and rituals that honor our deep connection to nature, the land and sky energies, and the cosmic and Earth cycles. Practicing rituals help to ground and steady us by creating our own rhythm that connects us directly with the rhythms of the natural world around us. The Solstice offers us a beautiful opportunity to pause, and the still night an invitation to journey inward toward self-reflection, regeneration and renewal.

Join Joanna and Rachael for a sacred ceremony and a full body-mind-spirit immersion. You will be guided through an opening ceremony, followed by a warming and grounding practice, infused with intuitive and explorative movement, breathwork, and the power of sound to clear energetic blockages and ignite your inner fire, the force behind purification & release. Following, will be a guided meditation and healing rest to nourish & balance the nervous system, and quiet & calm the mind.

Gratitude is one of the most important foundations for us to hold in life. Even when we are in the heart of struggle and darkness, our gratitude can provide us with the resilience to keep going.

Join Joanna Benevides and your Soma community in bringing the spirit of gratitude to life. Through intention setting, intuitive and embodied movement, guided meditation and deep rest, we will connect deeply to the wisdom of our bodies, explore our internal landscape, and move to the rhythm of our heartbeat + breath in connection to everything around us. Together we will give thanks for the air that we breathe, for our bodies so capable and strong, and to all of life that sustains us, nurtures and nourishes us. Together we will commit to love and be Gardeners of Light.

Join Career Coach Speaker Aileen Axtmayer to get more clarity in your career. In this interactive session, we'll work through a self-assessment framework to understand yourself better and confirm what's meaningful to you. Instead of settling for "eh, I guess this is interesting enough," you’ll prioritize opportunities that feel exciting, whether a full-time job, a side hustle, or a hobby.

After turning inward, we'll discuss the concrete steps to use this information to find what you're passionate about. This session is open to everyone, but can be especially helpful if you:

• Are in a job that's doesn’t feel like a good fit, but you’re overwhelmed with how to figure out what else exists

• Are working in a toxic environment and feeling burnt out

• Are “happy enough” with your job, but are starting to feel a bit bored and curious about how to continue to feel engaged and grow

This workshop is the reset you have been craving. You know that burning the candle at both ends is unsustainable. You know that there is a trap in thinking, "it will get easier when...." And YET—you keep pushing your mind and body to go, do, and perform beyond its capacity. As a result, you. are.TIRED. You may not even know what feeling rested or recharged even feels like anymore! But you know that something has to change. Your body needs some love and attention.

This is why Sarah created the RESET. You need to create a boundary to actually give your mind and body the rest and recharge it so desperately needs and deserves.

Join Sarah for this 2-hour workshop of gentle movement, meditation, self-massage using Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls, and probably a little kumbayah because she can't help herself!
