🍂Autumn Equinox Sound Bath at The Hive - Monday, 9/22 at 6:30pm - $30🍂
🍂As with everything in nature, we live in cycles. At times, one part of us takes the lead, yet our deepest peace comes when balance is restored. The equinox is a sacred moment of harmony, when day and night share the sky in equal measure — a reminder that balance is always within reach.
🍂In this special practice, we will move gently, exploring the steadiness of sthira and the ease of sukha, while reflecting on how this day beautifully embodies the dance between them. You will be invited to turn inward, finding balance in your own body, breath, and spirit.
🍂We will close with grounding breathwork, followed by a deeply restorative sound bath and a few quiet moments in savasana. ✨ This is a beautiful way to honor all the parts of yourself and welcome the shift into fall with intention and ease.
🍁 Join us in celebrating this powerful transition.

✨Melt Into Bliss: A Restorative Yoga, Reiki, & Massage Journey
on September 19th at 6pm! $55 dollars per person!

✨Leave the weight of the week at the door and step into a space where time slows, your mind softens, and your body is deeply cared for. This isn’t just a yoga class — it’s an immersive sanctuary designed to dissolve stress and restore your natural state of ease.

✨You’ll be gently guided into deeply restful, fully supported restorative poses — each one cocooned in blankets, bolsters, and blocks so your body can completely let go. As you sink into stillness, the calming energy of Reiki will flow through you, offered by Julie Gelsomino, Certified Reiki II Practitioner, whose gentle presence invites peace to settle into every cell. At the same time, Nancy Nicholson, Licensed Massage Therapist, will offer nurturing touch, easing muscle tightness, calming the nervous system, and inviting a deep sense of well-being. Every participant will receive both Reiki and massage in each restorative pose, making this an intimate, one-of-a-kind experience.

✨For the final act, you’ll drift into the tranquil realm of Yoga Nidra — a guided “yogic sleep” where your body rests while your mind is led into the deepest layers of relaxation. Here, subconscious tensions dissolve, stress melts away, and you emerge feeling light, whole, and renewed.

✨With only 10 spaces available, this workshop is your invitation to surrender, restore, and leave feeling as if you’ve been on a mini-retreat for your soul. 🌙✨

🌟The Hive Would Like to Welcome and Highlight, Melanie Klinck!🌟 Melanie will be teaching Candlelit Yoga with us!

🌟Melanie Klinck (RYT-200) started practicing yoga over a decade ago and started teaching yoga in 2024. Melanie first discovered yoga as a stress management technique in college. Years later, she found yoga to be of great help when recovering from a motor vehicle accident and other health issues. Over time, she discovered that yoga is more than a physical practice. She believes practicing yoga is both a gift to ourselves and to our community. As we leave class feeling more grounded, we have a ripple effect as we go out into the world and interact with others in a more peaceful way.

🌟Melanie teaches flows with lots of options so you can choose your own adventure depending on what your body needs on a given day.
🌟She also loves incorporating breath work, meditation and somatic nervous system practices into her classes. Outside of the studio, Melanie is a licensed social worker and has years of experience in the behavioral healthcare field guiding individuals on their paths to holistic wellbeing. She is a firm believer in the life-changing benefits of mind-body practices.

🌟Welcome, Melanie!

🌟The Hive would like to Highlight and Welcome Jennifer Keenan-Jolie! Jen will be teaching Restorative Yoga weekly and Sound Bath events periodically!

🌟Jen believes that yoga is so much more than poses; it is an opportunity to explore your inner world. The postures
become a vehicle, taking us on a journey of discovery. We arrive feeling better physically, mentally, and emotionally. The ancient yogis gave us this gift, and it applies as much today as it did thousands of years ago. It doesn’t matter what your practice looks like. It matters that youshow up for yourself and breathe.

🌟Jen left a career in higher education 2020 and started her YTT a month later. She began teaching after completing the 250-hour Teacher of Raja Yoga certification in fall 2021. She remains as excited as ever to share these practices with people of all ages, experiences and abilities.Her goal is always to create a space for people to explore. She hopes to offer a solid foundation on which to build a yoga practice that serves the individual.

🌟She offers modifications and adjustments as she teaches and encourages you to take the time to explore the posture and find what works for you. It is important to her that people in her classes feel safe, have fun, and find a little respite from the hustle and chaos of life. We may share a laugh, a reading, or moments of silence. She will never physically adjust you without your expressed permission or request.

🌟She lives in a “weird old building” in Granville MA with her husband Matt and one of three children, a sweet cat, and a flock of ornery chickens. She is co-owner of Earth Alchemy Pottery
Studio in East Windsor, CT. In her free time, she enjoys making pottery, gardening, kayaking, long walks in the woods and travel.
