Some people take photos of sunsets…
Some people take photos of their pets…
And then there’s us:
“Omg don’t move, your Savasana is PERFECT.” 😂✨

Luminous Darkness: An Experiential Book Club Journey
A month of reading, reflection, and embodied practice around the Winter Solstice, inspired by Deborah Eden Tull’s luminous teachings on Endarkenment.

As the days grow shorter and the world quiets, we’re gathering on Sunday evenings in December at 6pm for a four-week exploration of Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown.

This isn’t your usual book club.
Together, we’ll read and reflect, yes, but we’ll also practice the teachings through meditation, silence, gentle somatic inquiry, and heartfelt dialogue. Each gathering offers space for guided meditation, journaling, reflection, and the deep nourishment that comes from sitting with the dark as teacher, companion, and gateway to wholeness.

You’re invited to bring your book, your journal, and an openness to whatever wisdom wants to arise.

✨ Drop-ins welcome.
Come to one or all.
Use your class pass or join for $18 per session.

Weekly Themes

Week 1 · Dec 14 — The Journey Into Endarkenment (Ch. 1–2)
Exploring our relationship with darkness, the overlighting of our planet, and the divine darkness within.

Week 2 · Dec 21 — Fruitful Darkness & Emotional Intelligence (Ch. 3–4)
Fierce compassion, emotional intelligence, and embracing the “dark” emotions as powerful messengers.

Week 3 · Dec 28 — The Spiritual Teachings of Divine Darkness (Ch. 5–7)
Honoring the receptive, yin wisdom of darkness and the countercultural spiritual teachings found there.

Week 4 · Jan 4 — Collective Endarkenment (Ch. 8–10)
Darkness as a source of collective wisdom, leadership, moral imagination, and the courage required to embrace emergence.

If you feel called to slow down, turn inward, and honor the gifts of this season, this journey is for you. ✨🖤
We’d love to explore this luminous darkness with you.

As the evenings grow darker and quieter, Tuesday nights at 7:30pm offer the perfect sanctuary: Candlelight Yin with Melissa. 🕯️✨

A space to slow down, soften, and settle into the kind of rest your whole being whispers for this time of year.

Why We Love Melissa:
Melissa is one of those rare teachers who brings both steadiness and light into every room she walks into. She first came to yoga in college, balancing the physical demands of rock climbing...but what began as support for her body quickly grew into a daily ritual of care for her whole being. You can feel that devotion in her teaching.

She shows up with presence, compassion, and a clarity that instantly puts people at ease. Her classes are thoughtful, grounding, and wrapped in the kind of gentleness that feels like a long exhale.

Outside the studio, she teaches high school science and somehow manages to infuse mindfulness into the rhythm of her classroom. That speaks volumes about who she is: someone who deeply understands the power of awareness, regulation, and kindness. And she lives it, not just teaches it.

We adore her. Our students adore her. And on these darkening evenings, her Candlelight Yin class feels like the sweetest place to land.

Melissa's full schedule:
Tuesday 6:15pm Gentle Essentials
Tuesday 7:30pm Candlelight Yin
Saturday 9:00am Vinyasa

"Behind and beyond every label is empty space. Spacious awareness is the connective tissue that binds together all of life. The living tapestry of interconnection is the backdrop of every moment. It can take time to find this space, but it is always here. It is our natural state. We experience it as feeling connected to source rather than tangled in the mind's overlays and subjective interpretations."

From Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown by Deborah Eden Tull

Join Matece starting Sunday, Dec 14th for our first NHY Experiential Book Club focusing on this book. Timed around the dark of the Winter Solstice, we will turn toward, rather than away from the unknown and learn to perceive with the heart. Our sessions will focus on heartfelt discussion, journal reflection, and experiential practices.

Last night reminded us why this community is so special. As our teachers gathered, an Assembly of Hearts, the room was filled with courage, tenderness, curiosity, laughter, and the kind of presence that can only be created when people show up wholeheartedly for themselves and for one another.

As you swipe through these images, you’ll see more than moments.
You’ll see connection.
You’ll see practice becoming lived experience.
You’ll see the quiet ways we support, lift, and witness each other.

These teachers truly live what they teach and this studio is what it is because of them.

May what we cultivated last night continue to ripple outward into the larger NHY community and beyond. 🌎
🤍

Energy is everything. What we offer the world returns to us in subtle, powerful ways.

At Nourishing Heart Yoga, we gather to tend that energy. To move, breathe, and grow in harmony with life itself.

11/13/2025

One of the things we love most about our studio is the incredible range of practices our teachers bring to life here. Our staff is so deeply trained, experienced, and passionate, and it shows in the way they hold space, teach, and care.

From the powerful, heat-building energy of our active classes,
to the soothing, soul-settling rhythm of our restorative and gentle offerings,
to the creativity and depth of our specialty workshops,
each class reflects the heart and expertise of those who lead them.

No matter where you are in your practice, your body, or your season of life, there’s a class here to meet you.
And a teacher ready to walk with you.

Thanksgiving Day at Nourishing Heart Yoga

Power, Peace, & Thanksgiving Flow with Aaron Nordmeyer
Thursday, Nov 27 | 9:00 – 10:30 am
✨ This is our only class on Thanksgiving Day! Note that our regular schedule is paused so we can gather together in gratitude.

Before the day’s festivities begin, join us for a special 90-minute class honoring both strength and stillness. We’ll flow through steady, empowering movement, soften into a deep cool-down, and close with a short Thanksgiving meditation.

Practicing together on this day is a reminder that gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It’s something we share and strengthen when we come together in community.

We’re so grateful for Aaron’s grounded presence and heart-centered teaching. His classes remind us to meet life with breath, compassion, and a steady sense of peace both on and off the mat.

Reserve your spot with your Class Pass and start the day grounded, grateful, and connected.

Kirtan in Bloomington! Many who attended yesterday were so grateful to have the opportunity to make a joyful noise together.

It has been a long time coming…Matece and Sarah have literally been speaking of this for a few years. Now the time has ripened and we will be growing this community practice of devotional chanting.
We hope you will join us for the next one. 🙏🏼
