Breath & Meditation
“The body is the entry point into an inward journey whose aim is to shorten the distance between the head and the heart, so that all outward actions and participation with outer life take their cue from an active, awake, and attuned inner life.”

Breath and Meditation
The purpose of meditation is for personal transformation, becoming a more conscious, peaceful and empowered human being. It is the experience of watching the functioning of your own mind in a calm manner so you can gain insight into your own behavior.
Join Joe Marquez one Sunday a month 4-5:15pm for a focus on the Inner Limbs of Yoga. Each class will use some movement to prepare for sitting. Monthly classes will introduce you to a pranayama or Kriya and offer both an instrumental and Insight Meditation. You can use your Punch Pass or a Drop-in for these sessions.

Sunday Special Classes
Rotating Schedule Restore @ 4!
Explore what 2024 could be like if we focused on restoration instead of optimization. Could this be the year we think about prioritizing recovery so that, over time, we can do more?
Embrace the idea that restoration is essential to growth. Protecting time to recover is a smart move, not a selfish one.
Plan ahead for 2024 dates:

5/12- Breath & Meditation with Joe
5/19 - Restorative Yoga & Nidra with Teresa
5/26 - Surrender & Sound with Tim
Shamanic Journey with Mark Biehl, Saturday, May 18 6-8pm
Mark Biehl presents a dynamic and compelling sound journey to release, inspire, and deeply restore body, mind, and spirit. Featuring Chiron planetary gong, Shamanic drumming, and Himalayan Jambati singing bowls, Spirit Sound Vision will guide you through an essential cleansing, visionary, and restorative experience.
Spirit Sound Vision begins with an immersive sound bath featuring Chiron, a 32” planetary gong, to break up and release negative energy and blockages. Named after the father of medical art in Greek mythology, Chiron symbolizes the transformative power of self-healing in us all. The experience then seamlessly flows into sacred sound with native drumming. Drawing upon earth energy and spiritual guidance, we are led through a powerful Shamanic drum journey to discover greater understanding and wisdom in our personal lives. The session concludes in a lengthy sound meditation with the largest of Mark’s singing bowls. Using only large Himalayan Jambati bowls, the intense low frequency vibrations promote deep grounding and restoration.
Please bring your own yoga mat, blanket, pillow, and eye covering (optional). Dress comfortably and bring some water to drink. It's preferable not to eat for an hour prior. Register early to secure your space!

”Yoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in. And this is the point of spiritual practice; to make us teachable; to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are.” — Rolf Gates
“Conscious breathing is the best antidote to stress, anxiety, and depression.”
