Radiant Thanksgiving

Join us Thanksgiving morning for two special classes. These powerful classes will open your heart and leave you with a sense of deep gratitude and recognition for all that you have.

8:15 – 9:30 am – Gratitude Flow w/Emily Robinson
Whether your holiday is overflowing with busy or settling into calm, Emily will guide you through breath work finding space for yourself. Her flow will incorporate poses specific to cultivating gratitude in our bodies and opening our hearts. Finding space for yourself in the holidays is important and gratitude with a sense of well being can help guide you through the whole season.

10:00 – 11:15 am – Abundance Flow w/Diana Vitantonio
In this season of abundance, get centered on your mat and full on yoga before you fill your plate with Thanksgiving favorites and family time. This class is designed to be grounding and balanced – we will flow, sweat and reflect on our blessings so you will leave with space for whatever comes next – whether that is pumpkin pie or your awkward in-laws, or some of both!

*Regular class rates apply
All other classes will be cancelled on Thanksgiving. On Friday, November 29th the 6:00 am and 6:00 pm classes will be cancelled as well.

As a way to help those less fortunate we will be accepting non-perishable food and monetary donations for the El Dorado Hills Food Bank. Please help us to help others that are less fortunate during the holiday season.

Holiday Sound Bath – December 8th!

Take a break from the busyness of the holiday season and take some time for YOU.

Sound is not just perceived by our ears but by every cell in the body. The powerful vibrations of the gong and the sweet sound of each note of the crystal bowls will meditate you, clear meridians, open chanels and chakras releasing the flow of Kundalini energy to ascend up the central channel from the root chakra, balancing and aligning your system.

As you allow blocked emotions to loosen in this process and gently release that which no longer serves you into the sound, you activate your inherent ability to heal and awaken. Let the sound do the work as you release stress, deeply relax and come into balance.

Please register in advance and come hydrated and comfortably dressed. We recommend bringing a yoga mat, small pillow for your head and light blanket to support your experience.

Sunday, December 8th 4:30 – 5:45 pm

Investment – $20 pre registration, $25 at the door

Ashtanga Led Primary – Returns to schedule 11/8, noon – 1:30 pm!

Ashtanga Yoga is divided into six distinct series. In this, the Primary Series, we explore the grounding postures which will begin to purify the body, strengthen the core, dramatically increase mobility in the hips and knees, and open the shoulders and hamstrings. We will also learn how to breathe efficiently to generate internal heat and bring calm to our minds.

The Primary Series is framed by the familiar Sun Salutations, standing postures and twists, and a calming, restorative closing sequence. Hands-on assistance, adjustments and modifications are an integral part of Ashtanga, and no previous experience is required. Recommended for all students with a regular Power Vinyasa practice.

Fridays, noon – 1:30 pm *starting 11/8

Regular class rates apply.

Deeply Rooted – A Holy Yoga Practice, Thursdays 7:30-8:30 pm

Deeply Rooted Holy Yoga is for everyone. Come meditate, breathe, worship and move through an abundantly grace-filled class.

Holy Yoga creates an environment to connect more intimately with God through a beautiful practice of breath and movement to contemporary and Christian music. There is often a misunderstanding that yoga is a religion, it is not. Yoga is a spiritual discipline, much like prayer, fasting and meditation. Yoga has the capacity to enhance our personal beliefs and faith.

Thursdays from 7:30 – 8:30 pm

Donation based

Kundalini Yoga w/Hannah Zachney – November 24th, 4:30 – 5:45 pm

Love without trust is impossible. If you break promises to yourself you will destroy your own trust. You must trust yourself before you can fully love anyone else.

Kundalini Yoga has taught me to trust my instincts, intuition and encouraged me to accept and know myself in a way that was previously unknown to me. Kundalini yoga offers endless tools to enhance this process. It will strengthen the heart chakra. It will build courage and resilience. It will wake you up. It has been said that a student cannot remain the same when they practice Kundalini Yoga. It will awaken the energy of consciousness, shed light on our self-imposed limitations and invites us to trust our intuitive mind. Kundalini will create dramatic, lasting changes in your life very quickly.
You will:
  • Learn the history, purpose, benefits and origins of Kundalini Yoga
  • Experience a kriya (a specific set of exercises with particular breath work in a particular order to achieve a specific outcome)
  • Experience a Kundalini meditation
  • Understand the power & grace of this practice
