“Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment; cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.”
~ RUMI

As we approach the Spring Equinox, we arrive at a beautiful moment of balance in nature — when day and night meet in perfect harmony.

In yoga, we often practice this same balance: effort and ease, strength and softness, grounding and expansion. The equinox invites us to step onto our mats and into our lives with this same awareness.

Let this season be a reminder that renewal is always possible. With each breath, each practice, each new sunrise — we begin again.

Yours in both the light and the dark,

“With the coming of spring, I am calm again.
The earth becomes like a child
who knows poems by heart.”
by Rainer Maria Rilke

Spring for Rumi often symbolizes remembrance—nature remembering its divine rhythm.

Like the earth in spring, something within us is quietly remembering how to bloom.

💜Yoga, Mindfulness, & Mysticism WITH LIVE MUSIC!

💜Please bring $5-$20 in Cash for the LIVE Musician

💜A welcoming class for new and experienced folks alike serenaded by the soft lullaby of Johanna’s voice and instruments. This class explores: the deeper philosophy of the yoga tradition, a richly nourishing sequence of familiar yoga poses with mindfulness-based somatics, and a heart-opening community vibe. Led with compassion and inquiry by one of our most seasoned teachers. Come if you want to feel truly alive.

✨Johanna’s love of singing and songwriting led her on a journey through a wide variety of styles—soul, gospel, folk, pop, rock, world beat, reggae, a ca****la, jazz, dance, and more. Today her performances and recordings are generally grounded in kirtan—the music of yoga—and other forms of conscious music. But Johanna incorporates the most compelling elements of all of those styles into her songs no matter what she’s singing. And above all else, her spirit shines bright in every note.

✨Joss Jaffe performs as a Vocalist, Tabla player and Multi-Instrumentalist. Joss Jaffe’s music is rooted in his desire to unite people through spirit, love, joy, community and consciousness. His music invites the audience into a space of spontaneous joy.

✨One of Hannah’s greatest joys in life is welcoming folks of all backgrounds into kind, curious, brave, compassionate spaces that restore, heal, and bring us truly alive. Deemed the “midwife of possibility,”

Renew, Realign, and Reawaken with the Navaratri Ayurvedic Cleanse with Kayla Copeland & Kate Bentley

March 19–27, 2026

ONLINE

COST:
Days 1–3 | Kali: Clearing | $108
Days 4–6 | Lakshmi: Refinement | $180
Days 7–9 | Saraswati: Insight | $243

Enrollment invites participants to choose their 3 day, 6 day, or 9 day path and commit to a focused window of seasonal renewal and realignment.

Guided by Kate Bentley, MA, Ayurvedic Practitioner and Instructor, and Kayla Copeland, E-RYT 500, MA.

This spring, the Navaratri Ayurvedic Cleanse offers a guided at-home journey of purification and attunement aligned with Navaratri, the classical understanding of Shakti, the regenerative intelligence of the feminine principle as it operates through nature and the human system. Timed with lunar movement, eclipses, and seasonal transition, the cleanse supports deep clearing, nervous system regulation, and a return to inner coherence as the body and mind prepare for renewal.
