Awakened Yoga

04/30/2026

Namaste Friends🙏🏼🥰,

This morning, after our weekly mouna meditation, a small collective of soul sisters and I had the pleasure of participating in a Flow Gathering, facilitated by Melissa Penelope.

We journeyed through a themed practice of modalities centred upon softening and strengthening various parts of our being through intentional breathing, guided meditation focused on cultivating and sustaining loving kindness for self and others,  free writing ( in the moment journaling ), and gentle yet challenging somatic movement. Melissa was a lovely guide with a sweet and empathetic demur, making each and every one of us feel safe, supported, seen, heard and felt.💕

Are you seeking a safe container for rest, reflection, rejuvenation, and revitalization of your energy stores while connecting with like minded friends?

Join Melissa's Flow Gatherings, Tuesday afternoons from May 26 - June 30 Awakened Yoga shala.  Remembering  dear friends…Well-being is your birthright.
