In case you haven’t heard, Adriena’s Tuesday 6 AM Yoga & Natural Movement class is here and we’d love to see it grow. 🌿

If you’ve been wanting to start your day with more movement, presence, and ease, this is a beautiful time to join. Your presence helps shape what continues to grow at The Inner Warrior. 🕉️

What to expect:
This class bridges the steady intentionality of Hatha Yoga with the functional intelligence of natural movement. Practice begins with breath-centered postures that cultivate alignment, mobility, and nervous system regulation, then expands into playful, purposeful patterns: rocking, rolling, crawling, spiraling, and rising.

From slow, steady holds to dynamic transitions, floor work, and locomotion, this wild-child flow develops functional strength, joint resilience, coordination, and deep body awareness, while offering a potent nervous system reset.

Rooted in intention. Alive with intensity. Devoted to the pure joy of moving well. 🌳 Just show up. Pay what you can. 💘

𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚: Earthbound Yoga & Sound Journey ~ THIS Saturday, March 28th | 7:00PM - 9:00PM at The Inner Warrior ✨🪽

Gabriella Gaona will be providing a grounded & gentle yoga practice with live music by Thomas Orr Anderson… which will lead into a sound journey experience by the two of them.

“ᴀꜱ ᴘʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴄᴇ ᴍᴀᴛᴜʀᴇꜱ, ꜱᴛᴀʙɪʟɪᴛʏ ᴏꜰ ʙᴏᴅʏ ᴅᴇᴠᴇʟᴏᴘꜱ… ᴇᴀꜱᴇ ᴏꜰ ʙᴏᴅʏ ᴅᴇᴠᴇʟᴏᴘꜱ... ɪᴛ ꜱᴘɪʀᴀʟꜱ ɪɴᴡᴀʀᴅ, ᴏꜱᴄɪʟʟᴀᴛɪɴɢ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ᴘʟᴇᴀꜱᴜʀᴇ & ᴘᴀɪɴ, ʟᴇꜱꜱ & ʟᴇꜱꜱ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ, ꜱᴇᴛᴛʟɪɴɢ ᴍᴏʀᴇ & ᴍᴏʀᴇ... ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴇɴᴛᴇʀ.” - 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘍𝘦𝘪𝘵 𝘖𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭? We will settle in with a guided meditation, which will lead into our Gentle Earthbound Yoga practice, leaving you in deep relaxation, well then melt into a Sound Journey with various instruments… including, but not limited to: glass and bronze singing bowls, ceremonial drum, flute, didjeridu, gongs, chimes, tuning fork and more… all curated by two… sounding like four. 🎶

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚? Nurture yourself with a practice designed for deep relaxation and stress relief. This class focuses on gentle, mindful movement, primarily on the back, belly, seated, or on hands and knees— 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 standing poses or strenuous sequences. Rooted in somatic movement, it encourages nervous system regulation, making it ideal for reducing stress and anxiety. 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲, enhancing relaxation and presence. Perfect for beginners and open to all levels and ages.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲? Following movement, settle into stillness for a live sound journey experience. Unlike a typical sound bath, this experience invites a deeper exploration of how sounds resonate with 𝘺𝘰𝘶. We all have unique relationships with sounds— some tones may create subtle tension, while others guide you into deep relaxation. Notice how each vibration resonates within, bringing awareness to the shifts in your mind and body. Allow yourself to journey through sound and sensation with openness and curiosity.

Join us as we move through time and space, immersed in sacred sound and community.

This morning I made it to The Inner Warrior for yoga.

My spiritual practice is just as important to me as anything else I do. The breathing. The slow movement. The stillness. The sound. The sense of community. It grounds me. It regulates my nervous system. It brings me back into my body.

There’s something powerful about being in a room where everyone is just there to connect. no pressure, no performance, just presence.

If you don’t have a spiritual practice, I really encourage you to find one. It doesn’t have to be yoga. It can be prayer, meditation, walking in nature, sitting quietly with your breath.

We need places and practices that steady us. This is one of mine.

Living Embers ❤️‍🔥 Spring Equinox Yoga Ceremony
THIS Saturday, March 21st • 6:00-8:30pm at TIW | Guided by Lincoln Snyder, Kendra Sadler, and Maria Peppas.

💫 The spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, marks the beginning of spring in an astronomical sense. The spring equinox occurs when the sun rests directly above Earth’s equator, where night and day come into perfect balance. The rise of longer, lighter days may begin to warm your inner flame. At this fertile fulcrum, the Earth begins to reawaken.

🔥 Has your inner fire, your life force, softened into but an ember through enduring the dampness of winter? We invite you to befriend that ember. Stoke the flame. Build a hearth within yourself.

🐦‍🔥 Together we will restore, breathe, move, create, and connect - experiencing the power of honoring cycles in nature that are mirrored within us. Leave this ceremony feeling alive in your creativity and empowered to nurture the quiet flame within.

What to expect:
~gentle hatha yoga + sound bath
~dharma talk
~beeswax candle-rolling ceremony + flame gazing mediation
~soft live acoustic music
~take-home journaling prompts for self-integration

🤲 No prior experience is necessary to join. All levels of practitioners are welcome.

THIS Sunday, March 15th | 7:30-9PM Join us for a A Sound Journey with Austin Shook ~ at The Inner Warrior 🎶(((😌)))🎶

Come enjoy this 90 minute sound experience. You will be bathed in the vibrations from 14 different instruments (24 instruments altogether) including 10 crystal singing bowls, a gong, native american flutes, didgeridoo, handpan, guzheng, harmonium, drums, large tuning fork, vocals, and more!

This experience will begin with a gentle guided meditation or simple breathwork exercises, preparing you to transition into being bathed in sounds for the remainder of this 90 minute class. In the sound bath portion of this experience, Austin will be using an array of musical instruments from ancient cultures to create a space of deep peace.

With these instruments, he will be holding space for each of you to connect with aspects of yourselves that often get foggy through our daily routines. You may experience deep relaxing states that can promote awareness of yourself beyond the body or emotions that can lead you the essence of your being, as well as a release from negative patterns.
