Wednesday, January 1, 10:30 a.m. – noon
w/ Jess Bertoncini & Natalie Bishar.

How do you want to experience the transition to a new year? Are you longing for a connection to yourself and the moment that offers more meaning than a past-your-bedtime party?

As the holiday season winds down and the end of the year approaches, you may find yourself feeling rundown or depleted. You may be reflecting on the events and experiences of 2024, as well as wondering what 2025 will bring. Mark this magic moment between past and future by recharging and inviting joy, meaning, and self-care to your new year.

This 3-part workshop incorporates yoga, meditation, music and massage to bring meaning, self-reflection, and joy to your New Year.

Part 1 – Yoga teacher Jess Bertoncini as she leads you through a gentle and rejuvenating flow designed to open awareness in the body, calm the mind, and set the stage for a fresh start. This all-levels yoga session will help you release what no longer serves you, leaving space for new intentions and energy to flow.

Part 2 – Teacher and instrumentalist Natalie Bishar will guide you in a reflective meditation accompanied by the healing music of song and harmonium. The musical vibrations will provide a path to connect to your inner strength and align your heart to its deepest desires into the year ahead.

Part 3 – You’ll relax in a long, tranquil Savasana while Jess and Natalie treat you to a blissful mini massage.

Part 4 (optional) – Coalesce our time together with a simple fire ritual, a symbolic representation of the release of what once was and an invitation for what is to come.

New Year’s Day is the perfect time to reflect and recharge after a busy holiday.
Your body, mind and spirit deserve TLC after the busy holiday season. Begin your year with this special offering and greet 2025 with clarity, intention and self-compassion.

Registration is $50. This is a special event class and our yoga passes do not include registration for this class.

What does it mean to dance with soul? It’s hard to explain, but you know it when it happens! Shake Your Soul is a mindful and soulful dance experience set to the rhythms of world music.

Release tension and cultivate joy. Dancing in concert with your fluid and spiritual natures makes Shake Your Soul a truly unique movement and wellness experience. As you “try on” different dances, you can access new ways of moving that help you to get unstuck and feel more free, uninhibited and alive.
Foster a kinder, loving connection to yourself and your body. Shake Your Soul is not about how you look, but about how you FEEL. When you flow with the music and connect to the sensations of the present moment, you can get out of you head and drop into the pure joy of moving.
Enjoy a sense of community and connection. Jen guides the class in playful movement to inspire intuition, creative expression, and a safe and soulful connection to others.
Ground in your center with Qigong. Jen brings the class to a close with simple Qigong to slow down, breathe, and ground the charge of aliveness and energy that was cultivated through the dance.

Improve confidence and boost your mood.

Shirodhara

The experience begins with a gentle marma massage of the head and face, opening subtle energy channels and preparing you for surrender. As the oil flows in rhythm, thoughts quiet, tension melts, and a meditative calm takes hold.
This soul-soothing therapy is especially supportive for anxiety, insomnia, migraines, hypertension, and anyone seeking clarity, balance, and inner peace.

*It is recommended that the herbal oils be left on the head for an hour or more to allow the herbs to be absorbed and utilized by the body. You will leave with oil in your hair and you’ll be provided with a cotton head wrap to wear home. You will be given instructions on how to best remove the oils when you shampoo.

At the end, each student will get the equivalent of a full-body massage. You’ll feel rested, rejuvenated, looser and lighter.

All levels are welcome. Please bring your own yoga mat. Blankets and props will be provided.
