🕯️Yang to Yin: Winter Solstice Gathering 🕯️
Tuesday, December 23rd | 6-7:30pm

Kelcey Waldron and Melanie Doulames are teaming up again to host a beautiful gathering of movement, meditation & breath in celebration of the Winter Solstice.

As the longest night of the year approaches, the world invites us to pause, soften, and turn inward. The Winter Solstice marks a sacred threshold, the peak of darkness and the quiet before the light returns. It is a time to honor cycles, release what no longer serves, and create space to digest the year gone by while welcoming the gradual return of light.

Join us for a special 90-minute Winter Solstice Yang to Yin Yoga class, designed to help you move through gentle, warming energy before settling into deep restorative stillness, aligning your body, mind, and spirit with the rhythms of the season.

This practice draws on the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Water Element, supporting the kidneys, restoring vitality, and helping you reconnect with your inner calm. You will experience nourishing breathwork, mindful movement, and a restorative closing that leaves you feeling renewed, grounded, and replenished.

Expect soft lighting, peaceful music, and a sacred space to simply be.
Give yourself the gift of stillness.
Honor the season.
Digest, reflect, and welcome the return of light.

Step into the quiet, embrace the darkness, and nurture the spark of new beginnings within. Your body, and your spirit, will thank you.

This practice will support you in:
• Awakening energy and creating space in the body and mind
• Grounding into presence and releasing what no longer serves
• Cultivating harmony in body, heart, and spirit as we welcome a new season

All are welcome—whether this is your first yoga class or part of a lifelong practice. Come as you are, and leave with a renewed sense of clarity, harmony, and connection.

Exchange: Pay What Feels Right This class is offered on a sliding scale. Your presence and connection matter more than the amount you pay.

✨BIG NEWS

This year asked me to get radically honest with myself. To listen to the quiet truth inside me and trust it. And that truth became the catalyst for something beautiful.

On January 1st, the studio will transition into new ownership with the luminous Kayla Wetherbee , but not to worry, I will still be teaching, holding space, and being part of the soul community we’ve built together.

This isn’t an ending.
It’s an evolution.
A heart-led unfolding of what this space was always meant to become.

I’m stepping into my most aligned role, Kayla is stepping into hers, and the studio is stepping into its next chapter — one rooted in authenticity, community, and soul.

I wrote a full letter sharing more thoughts behind this shift.

The Sunday rest your body has been asking for 🌙

When life feels busy, heavy, or scattered, the instinct is often to keep going.

But what your body and mind might actually need… is permission to pause.

This Sunday, November 2nd from 4:30–6:15pm, join Jennifer Smith for a deeply restful journey that blends Restorative Yoga + Yoga Nidra

💤 Why Restorative Yoga:
Supported poses held in stillness allow the body to fully exhale — soothing the stress response, easing tension, and reminding your system how to truly rest.

🌙 Why Yoga Nidra:
This guided “yogic sleep” practice takes you into the space between waking and dreaming — where your body heals, your mind quiets, and your deeper wisdom comes forward.

Together, these practices invite you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with the calm that’s always within you.

Experience two of yoga’s most powerful practices for nervous system repair and emotional renewal 🙏🏻

Feeling drained, tense, or like you just need a deep sigh of relief? This one’s for you ✨ THIS SUNDAY!

Restorative Yoga + Yoga Nidra
aka: Real Rest for Real People 🕯️

When we think “rest,” most of us picture the couch, a glass of wine, and a new show to binge (no shame — we all do it). But real rest — the kind that resets your nervous system and melts away the noise in your mind — takes a different kind of pause.

That’s what restorative yoga is.

It’s gentle, supported, and slow — all done lying down with cozy props like blankets and bolsters. You’ll be guided to fully let go, quiet your body, and breathe again.

We’ll finish with Yoga Nidra, a deep rest meditation that helps your body restore, your mind unwind, and your whole system find calm again. Think of it as pressing your own reset button.

Perfect for anyone feeling tense, tired, overwhelmed, or just in need of a sigh of relief.

YOGA FOR NEWBIES✨ I’m opening 10 spots for those of you who:

1. Have been curious about yoga but have never taken a class
 2. Tried yoga before, felt like it wasn’t for you, but are ready to give it another go

You all are my favorite students to teach!

There’s nothing like witnessing newbies land in a practice that is welcoming and gentle, leaving them asking themselves “where has this been all my life?!” Yoga and meditation are often talked about as life-changing, but the way it’s portrayed online can feel intimidating, unrealistic, or unapproachable. I’ve been teaching for nearly a decade and yoga can most-definitely be delivered in a way that’s simple, subtle, and deeply relieving, and I’m inviting YOU to experience this firsthand for yourself.

This series is for you if:
✨You’ve been told to try yoga or meditation but what you see online feels intimidating or “not for you”
 ✨You’re brand new and want a safe, supportive place to begin
 ✨You move through your days with aches, stiffness, or stress and long to feel more at ease in your body
 ✨ You crave simple tools to calm your mind and settle your nervous system
 ✨ You’re looking for a practice that’s a work-in, not a work-out

Over 5 weeks, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Ease day-to-day tension and create space in your body
 ✨ Focus the mind, let go of thoughts, and return to presence 
 ✨Use calming techniques anytime life feels overwhelming
 ✨ Experience what it’s like to unwind and meet yourself in the feeling relief

 Let’s be real... the world, our days, and our minds can often feel like too much sometimes. In this series, you’ll discover how to quiet the noise, create space within, and simply be.

Join me for 5-weeks on Thursday evenings in October | 6-7:15pm

10/2, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30

Exchange: $85 if you say YES to yourself by 9/25, after that price increases to $99

The Autumn Equinox 🍂 is just under 2 weeks away… here’s how we’re celebrating on 9/23

Kelcey Waldron and Melanie Doulames are teaming up to host a beautiful gathering of movement, meditation & breath

From flowing energy to deep stillness, meet yourself in a duo that cultivates harmony in the body, mind & heart helping you to welcome Fall from a place of clarity & presence.

The Autumn Equinox is a sacred pause—a rare moment when light and dark stand in perfect balance before we gradually turn toward the slower, quieter half of the year. A weaving of Yang and Yin that becomes especially potent as we are invited to meet ourselves in both energies—igniting warmth where we need to shift, softening into stillness where we need release, eventually landing in a deeper connection to Self.

In this special 90-minute practice, Kelcey and Melanie will guide you through a journey from Yang to Yin:

🍁Yang Movement — Dynamic, flowing, activating sequences that awaken circulation, warm the body, and clear stagnant energy. Yang cultivates vitality, focus, and a sense of expansion.

🍁Yin Postures — Long-held, grounding shapes that work into the deeper connective tissues while soothing the nervous system. Yin invites release, receptivity, quiet inner listening, and a deeper connection to Self.

By experiencing both energies in one practice, we create so much space to simply be. It’s a pathway back to base. Yang helps us to engage, to rise, to digest, and transmute. Yin teaches us to soften, to let go, to rest in what is. Together, they call us back to our own inner equilibrium—reminding us that balance is not found in one or the other, but in the dance between the two.

Cultivate harmony in body, heart, and spirit as we step into a new season 🧡

☀️Celebrate the Summer Solstice on the mat this Saturday at 9AM ☀️

Here’s a perspective flip: We experience the moon in its fullest capacity every month… but we only get to meet the sun at its peak brilliance once a year. The Summer Solstice is that moment. Just as the sun shines in its full power, so can you. This is your invitation to roll out your mat and meet yourself in pure brilliance.

Since the Spring Equinox, your energy has been building. This golden day marks the height of that momentum. Join us to celebrate this bright, bold turning point. Through movement, breath, and presence, you’ll be guided back into the light that already lives inside you.

This is an embodiment practice that offers an opportunity to reclaim your radiance, reconnect with your vitality, and remember your potential. Expect energizing movement, grounding meditation, and simple moments of reflection to help you carry your light forward into summer.

You’ll also get to pull an oracle card for deeper wisdom and a will leave with a journaling prompt to help root your intention. This practice is a reminder to keep choosing and tending to this beautiful version of you each and everyday.

This is your time. Say yes to your light, and let it lead the way.
