How sweet it is to know enough to know how much you don’t know!

Two things feel very important to me to hold at the same time: to honour and respect old practices that were meant to be taught in their original form and that are a living reality, and also to remain open to a freedom in practice that is not rigid and that honours the true nature of what is being described.

It is my deepest wish that we do this work well, through ourselves and through all our beautiful guides at Mā. I love seeing how many ways there are to practice.

• Pranayama, mantra, and meditation
• Sacred stories and symbolism of Shiva
• Yantra and mudra practices for focus and alignment

One more opportunity to participate in the Slow Unfurl with Jenica Geisler 🌱

As spring slowly emerges, our bodies often feel the shift before our minds do. In Five Element theory, the Wood Element and Liver system hold the energy of direction, vision, growth — and the emotions that arise when movement feels blocked.

Rather than forcing clarity or pushing for change, this evening offers space to pause, listen, and gently tend to what is already beginning to move within you.

Over 2.5 hours we’ll explore:
• The Wood Element & Liver system
• Guided somatic practice
• Restorative group acupuncture
• Quiet seasonal reflection

You may leave with a deeper sense of what spring is asking of you, and a softer relationship to frustration, movement, and growth.

Spring doesn’t require us to burst open.
Sometimes it begins with a slow unfurl. 🍃

Saturday, April 11
5:30–8:00 PM
MĀ Wellness & Yoga — Sky Studio
$65 | Limited spaces available

Optional: bring a small item for the Spring altar — a stone, budding branch, or something that represents emergence or new growth.

Come unfurl with us. Book your spot now online, in our app, or in-studio.

🌠 Dancing into Embodied Boundaries with Connie Quayle
A conscious dance workshop to explore how we feel our personal boundaries in our bodies.

The more that we know and trust our own embodied boundaries, the safer we are, and our nervous systems will know it.

This is a dance-based workshop in which you move freely on your own with facilitated guidance into your internal experience of your boundaries. There is no required touch or connection with others in this trauma-sensitive practice. Your body, your dance, your reflections, your boundaries.

If you would like to attend but are not sure about dancing, feel free to come and bring a sketchbook or journal as alternative pathways to explore how you perceive your boundaried self.

📅 Saturday, April 25
⏰ 5:30–7:00 PM
📍 Earth Studio
💲 $25
