✨ The Alchemy of Change ✨
Yoga, Breathwork & Biology for Honoring the Perimenopausal Transition
Saturday, May 23th, 2026 | 9:30am–3:00pm
Led by Meredith Calvert, PhD

Perimenopause isn’t a decline — it’s an initiation.
A powerful, intelligent, meaningful transition in the life of the body.

Join us for a science-rooted, heart-led day retreat designed to help you understand what’s happening in your brain and body during this time, while offering practical tools to soothe, nourish, and strengthen yourself through the midlife shift.

Together we’ll explore:
• The neurobiology of hormonal change
• Gentle somatic movement + grounding yoga
• Breathwork for hot flashes, stress & sleep
• Journaling to reclaim identity & power
• Restorative rest + Yoga Nidra for deep repair
• A nourishing community lunch + tea ritual

Leave with clarity, support, and a renewed sense of trust in your own becoming.
This is your time. Your wisdom. Your alchemy.

✨ Monthly Community Sound Bath ✨
🗓 Saturday, March 14, 2026
⏰ 6:00–7:00 PM
📍 Gaia Yoga | 855 Marina Bay Parkway, Suite 28, Richmond, CA

Allow your nervous system to rest and reset in a soothing, candlelit sound bath.

We’ll begin with a gentle guided meditation to help you settle in, then move into a deeply immersive sound journey featuring ocean wave drum, crystal singing bowls, and Koshi chimes.

A sound bath is a full-body listening experience — where you are “bathed” in sound, with love and care. The vibrations help quiet the mind, relax the body, and invite your system into a state of deep restoration and healing.

No experience needed. You are welcome exactly as you are. 🤍

Please wear cozy, comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket, and anything else you need to feel warm and supported. We also have mats and blankets available at the studio.

Spots are limited.

You did not just have a baby.
You crossed a threshold.

This spring, we’re gathering for a 6-week circle:
The Fourth Trimester & the Self — A Postnatal Yoga Support Group
🗓 Mondays, March 16 – April 20, 2026
⏰ 2–4 PM
📍 Gaia Yoga – The Sunroom (Richmond, CA)

Co-facilitated by Martina Chavez-Young (Founder of Gaia Yoga, Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Instructor) and Sannaz Keyhani (Birth Doula, Yoga Teacher & Perinatal Public Health Researcher), this series centers postpartum as a developmental initiation — not something to “bounce back” from.

This is not about productivity.
It’s not about advice.
It’s about being witnessed in transformation.

Each week includes:

• Gentle, trauma-aware postnatal yoga
• Facilitated reflection on identity, relationships, and the inner world after birth
• Space for grief, joy, rage, tenderness — all of it
• Rebuilding trust in your body
• Meaning-making in community

Pre-crawling babies are welcome.
Feeding and soothing are supported.
Dedicated baby-holders will be present.

This group is for those seeking depth, reflection, and relational support in early parenthood.

💛 Sliding scale $300–$600
💛 Payment plans available
💛 10% of proceeds donated to a birth equity nonprofit
💛 Limited to 12 participants

🔗 Learn more & register at the link in bio.

If you’re not in this season but know someone who is, we’d be grateful if you shared this with them.

We can’t wait to gather.
