✨ Imagine this being your room for Rest Fest… ✨

Soft linens. Quiet mornings. Space to exhale.
This is where your nervous system gets to land during our Rest Fest Staycation Retreat at Turf Valley Resort | Feb 6–7.

Between guided rest practices, nourishing meals, and deeply intentional time away from your everyday roles, this room becomes more than a place to sleep—it becomes part of the medicine. A pause button. A reset.

You don’t have to travel far to feel far away.
You just have to give yourself permission to rest.

💫Imbolc marks the quiet turning point of the year—the moment when the earth begins to stir beneath the surface and the promise of spring becomes palpable, even if winter still lingers.

🪷This 3-hour in-person immersion is an invitation to meet this seasonal threshold slowly, compassionately, and from within.

🌀Trauma Informed Teachers Cierra Slade & Taylor Hitaffer have curated this Immersion as an invitation to slow down, soften, and listen inward—without pressure to fix, achieve, or perform.

🧘🏿We’ll move gently.
🧘🏼‍♂️We’ll rest deeply.
🧘🏽‍♀️We’ll explore embodiment through a nervous system lens.

🌊Expect accessible movement, guided body scans, sensory awareness, journaling, seasonal reflection, and spacious moments of integration. Everything is offered through a consent-based, choice-driven approach. You’re always welcome to modify, pause, or simply be.

❄️This space is especially supportive if you’re feeling tender after winter, craving a slower yoga experience, or wanting to understand your body with more compassion and curiosity.

🙌🏼No prior yoga, somatics, or journaling experience needed. Just bring yourself—and anything that helps you feel grounded.

Somewhere along the way, too many women were told their bodies have an expiration date.
That strength is for the young.
That it’s too late.

At Shift, we’re here to lovingly call that out as incorrect.

We have women in their 60s and well into their 70s who picked up dumbbells for the first time in their lives inside our studio—and are now blown away by how strong, capable, and confident they feel. 💪✨

For a long time, there hasn’t been a true home that celebrates women over 40 in strength and fitness.
Now there is.

This isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight in the room.
It’s about protecting your future, honoring your body, and realizing how much more is still possible.

If you’ve ever thought, ‘I wish I started sooner’—this is your sign.

Comment STRONG to get your first class free and come experience Shift for yourself. 🤍

What if you didn’t need to go far to truly rest?
Just a pause. A breath. A weekend where nothing is required of you.

Rest Fest is a staycation-style retreat designed for deep exhale energy ✨

Time to slow down.
Time to simply be.
Nourishing meals prepared for you.
Luxurious amenities at your fingertips.
Curated yoga and sound experiences that gently guide your nervous system back home.

🗓️February 6–7 at Turf Valley Resort & Spa is an invitation to step out of doing and into restoring—without packing your life into a suitcase or crossing time zones.

If your body has been asking for rest…
If your mind is craving quiet…
If a gentle, spacious weekend away feels like exactly what you need—
this is for you.

Rest doesn’t have to be earned.
Sometimes it’s just answered. 🌿

And with that… the 2025 season comes to a close.

What a year. A year of showing up—sometimes strong, sometimes tender, sometimes unsure—but never alone. A year of breath and sweat, laughter and release, quiet moments and powerful ones. A year of choosing ourselves and choosing each other.

This community continues to be the greatest honor of my life’s work. The way we hold space for one another, celebrate growth, rest when it’s needed, and keep coming back—to the mat, to the weights, to ourselves—will never stop amazing me.

Thank you for trusting this space. Thank you for your presence, your vulnerability, your courage, and your care. You make this place what it is.

As we step into a new year, I feel nothing but excitement and deep gratitude. More strength. More softness. More connection. More becoming.

Here’s to all that we’ve built—and all that’s still unfolding.

Happy New Year 🤍

12/30/2025

New year. New energy. A completely different way to move your body.

This isn’t a loud, intimidating gym or a “push harder” fitness culture.

We’re a strength + movement studio designed for women in midlife who want to feel strong, supported, and confident in their bodies again.

✨ Strength training for women 40+
✨ Joint-safe, functional movement
✨ Core strength that supports daily life
✨ Menopause-informed coaching
✨ A room full of women cheering each other on

We focus on progress, not punishment.
Consistency, not extremes.
And building strength that actually lasts.

If you’re ready for a new relationship with fitness — welcome.

The final sound bath of 2025 ✨

As the Winter Solstice arrives—the longest night of the year—we’ll gather to pause, soften, and gently close this chapter together. This sound bath is an invitation to rest deeply, release what this year has held, and plant quiet intentions as the light slowly begins to return.

There’s something powerful about ending the year in stillness… letting the nervous system exhale before we step forward into what’s next. Join us this Sunday at noon for this special solstice experience.

🕯️ Final sound bath of 2025
🕯️ Winter Solstice
🕯️ Deep rest, reflection, and renewal

If your soul is sending calls straight to voicemail, I see you.

This February 6–8, we’re gathering at Turf Valley Resort for a yoga + sound staycation retreat centered around rest, quiet, and coming home to yourself.

No schedules to manage. No roles to perform. Just space to breathe.

Come rest with us. 💛

Not judging… but I do wanna know why you haven’t started strength training yet 👀

Maybe you thought:
• it’s intimidating
• you’ll “start when you feel ready”
• you don’t know where to begin
• or you’re still waiting on ✨motivation✨

And honestly? Same. We’ve all been there.

But listen — 2026 energy is different.
This is the year you stop thinking about getting strong and actually do it.

Not because you want to lift heavy for fun (unless you do 😉),
but because you want to:
✔ feel confident in your body
✔ build strength that lasts
✔ walk into a gym knowing what you’re doing
✔ stop starting over every January

That’s exactly why I’m running Strength Training 101 this January —
for women who want to lift, but don’t know where to begin (or want to feel less awkward doing it).

No pressure. No gym bro energy. Just learning the basics, feeling supported, and getting strong at your own pace.

Comment “January” if you’re ready to start strong 💬💪

It’s Time for SHIFT

What nourishes your soul? For us, connection and rest are vital for renewal and nothing fills us up more than a good belly laugh with loved ones or a greats night sleep. The older we get and the more our journey unfolds, the more we believe that these moments of heart felt connection and fulfilling moments of rejuvenating rest are what awakens and inspires our soul. So we have created a sanctuary in the heart of Howard County, MD for authentic connection and meaningful rest.

We are a home for deep release and nourishment. With an emphasis on self care and spiritual wellbeing, our classes foster the tools for a profound awakening of the heart. Come get shifted.
