✨ Prenatal Yoga — move gently and nurture the connection between you and your baby.
✨ Candlelight Restorative & Yoga Nidra — melt into rest under the soft glow of October’s moon.
✨ Sound Journey Meditation — immerse yourself in the healing resonance of gongs and flutes.

Each offering is a doorway back to peace — just choose the one that speaks to your spirit.
