✨ Monthly Evening Gatherings
Softness & Self-Compassion
This 90-minute evening workshop is a gentle space to slow down, soften, and reconnect at the end of the week. Through intuitive movement, simple breathwork, and moments of stillness, you’ll be supported into a calm and grounded space—both physically and mentally.
Held in a relaxed, circle-style setting, the session will include elements of breath, sound, and meditation, with an optional element of chanting. With a soft focus on the heart space—both physically and energetically—we’ll explore openness, ease, and connection in a way that feels natural and accessible. The evening will also include a guided relaxation (yoga Nidra), offering space to fully rest and reset.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, including complete beginners. Everything is optional, and you’re encouraged to move and participate in a way that feels right for you.
