The Practice with Sandra Vanatko

02/11/2026

Registration is now open for our Costa Rica Women’s Retreat.

This is a week designed for women who are ready to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and be supported — without needing to hold everything together.

Our days will include gentle movement, meditation, breathwork, rest, and time in nature — all held within a warm, attuned women’s community.

This retreat isn’t about fixing or changing yourself.

It’s about landing — and remembering what’s already here.

You can explore all the details and register at sandravanatko.com under retreats.

Space is intentionally limited so we expect this retreat to sell out quickly.

Winter can feel heavy — in the body, the mind, the energy.

Slower. Foggy. Stuck.

Last Saturday, we began a simple winter community practice focused on gently warming the system, moving stagnant energy, and reconnecting with inner vitality — without forcing or pushing.

Through breath awareness, three-part breathing, and a steady, accessible pranayama practice, we’re learning how to tend inner fire rather than override exhaustion. This isn’t about intensity. It’s about consistency, warmth, and support.

What I love most is that this is something you can actually return to each day — even on the days you feel low, busy, or distracted.

✨ We’re practicing together for four weeks
✨ Practice as you can — no pressure, no perfection
✨ Community support + replay access included

If winter tends to knock you off rhythm, this practice is an invitation to come back to yourself gently — and to do it alongside others who are walking the same path.

If you feel called to join us, you’re welcome.
And if you’re already practicing, I’d love to hear from you:

💬 What are you noticing so far?
💬 How is the practice landing in your body or energy?

Drop reflections or questions in the comments — this is a shared journey.

Tomorrow, early registration opens for The Practice members for our Costa Rica Women’s Retreat.

This week-long retreat is an invitation for women to slow down, land in the body, and be held in a deeply nourishing environment — together.

We’ll practice daily, rest deeply, and spend time in nature and community, with space to truly exhale.

✨ Early access for Practice members begins February 9
✨ Registration opens to everyone February 11

If you’ve been feeling the quiet call for time away — this may be your moment.

This Saturday, we begin something new — and simple.

Our first live community practice takes place Saturday at 9:30am, and we’re starting with a 45-minute session where you’ll learn our first 4-week community practice — a shared rhythm we’ll return to together.

If you’ve ever wanted to practice knowing others are doing the same practice alongside you, this is for you.

Alongside the practice, we have a community board inside The Practice — a place to check in, share how the practice is going, and ask questions as they arise. It’s a gentle way to feel supported and connected as we practice together.

In this first session, I’ll be sharing a breath practice to support winter energy — when things can feel heavy or sluggish — helping us ride the wave toward spring and the renewal of energy that comes with it.

Saturday | 9:30am
Replay included
$39/month

If you’ve been longing for steadiness, consistency, and shared practice, we’d love to have you.

In times of chaos and uncertainty, having inner resources matters.

When the nervous system is overwhelmed, we don’t need more information.

We need ways to return to steadiness — from the inside out.

This morning, in our live bonus workshop Settling the Nervous System, we’ll explore three simple inner resources that support regulation, safety, and ease.

This isn’t about fixing or forcing calm.
It’s about remembering what’s already available within us — and learning how to return there again and again.

🕘 Live this morning at 9:00-10am CT
Included as a bonus for members of The Practice

Replay available for those who join by February 5

A steady place to land — especially when the world feels like a lot.

If your body has been holding a lot this week, tomorrow morning offers a chance to pause.

There’s nothing to prepare and no experience needed. You’re welcome to come exactly as you are.

Sometimes support looks like doing less, not more.

If your nervous system has been carrying a lot lately, you’re not alone.

This Saturday morning, I’m offering a live, gentle workshop called Settling the Nervous System — a guided practice designed to help the body come out of overwhelm and into steadiness.

There’s nothing to prepare and no experience needed. You’re welcome to come exactly as you are — even if all you do is listen and rest.

Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is pause and let the body settle.

A gentle update for our community

For over 16 years, Indra’s Grace has been a place where we gathered to practice, reflect, and grow together.

As the physical studio chapter comes to completion, the work itself is not ending. It is continuing as The Practice with Sandra Vanatko — a living body of work devoted to presence, embodiment, and awareness, shared through ongoing practice, mentoring, and retreat.

This page will remain the primary place to stay connected on Facebook as this next chapter unfolds.

With gratitude,

Sandra

So many people are holding more than they realize — bracing, pushing, staying on alert.

Inside The Practice, we focus on creating the conditions where the nervous system can begin to settle — not by forcing relaxation, but by allowing safety, presence, and time.

Settling the Nervous System
🗓 Saturday, January 31 | 9:00am CT
