Sacred Rage with Amber Anderson Holbert
Saturday January 31, 4-6PM
$20
REGISTER

Anger is often scorned, denied, shamed, and stiffled in our culture. Yet anger is a powerful tool for transformation. When we take the time to honor our anger by seeing it for what it truly is, and offering it a seat at the table, we can alchemize anger into power. 

During our time together we will be using various techniques to allow anger to come up, & move through and out of our bodies. (Bring your journal and a pen if you have one)

The goal is to experience anger without letting it take over and camp out in your body, which causes dis-ease. Together we will cultivate effective tools to move through anger when it arises. 

Amber is so excited to sit with, honor, and move through anger with you in a way that is intentional, sacred & transformative. 

Tell all your friends - it’s time..

Restorative Yoga & Divine Sleep with Bitsy Merriman
Sunday February 22, 2-3:30PM
$10
REGISTER

Class starts with settling into the present moment using breath and intention setting and allowing your body ease into prop-supported poses. At the midpoint, you are guided to a resting position that suits you and you sink into a Divine Sleep, a healing practice and meditation that releases your body, breath and spirit into a thematic journey of the soul.

No experience required. This is yoga for anyone and everyone. Please wear comfortable clothes and dress in layers to ensure that you stay warm and at ease during the meditation.

Divine Sleep is the antidote to modern life and stresses and is a meditation technique that guides and relaxes you at every level of being including your physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual layers (called five koshas). Through the use of breath awareness, body scanning, healing music and nature imagery, Divine Sleep invites you to become aware of each layer of being without needing to change or fix anything. This is true meditation where there is nothing to do but to ‘notice’ -- supporting you in feeling empowered and whole just as you are. This contemporary practice is based on ancient yogic wisdom and meditation to make a powerful tool for modern-day life.
Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra is a switch that turns off ‘flight or fight’ and turns on the ‘relaxation response’ -- the body’s natural healing state. This allows your body and mind the necessary time it needs to integrate, heal, slow the aging process and prevent illness. Your body knows exactly what to do to attain and maintain perfect health and equilibrium, but it is necessary to go into this state of deep relaxation for healing to happen. And Divine Sleep brings you easily, compassionately, inexpensively and swiftly into the healing state.

Elemental Meditation & Ritual with Thr33
Sunday March 22nd 2pm
$20
REGISTER

Bhuta Shuddhi: Elemental Cleanse
A Tantric Meditation + Ritual Practice

Step into an ancient ritual of purification and elemental balance. Bhuta Shuddhi—Sanskrit for “elemental cleansing”—is a lesser-known tantric practice that predates the modern chakra system. Through guided visualization, hand shapes (mudras), sacred seed syllables (mantras), breathwork, and meditation, we’ll awaken and harmonize the five elemental forces within us: earth, water, fire, air, and space.

In this immersive workshop, you’ll learn a powerful daily practice designed to align your inner nature with the rhythms of the natural world. We’ll explore the five upper energy centers of the classical tantric system, reconnecting with their original esoteric wisdom.

This experience is both deeply grounding and subtly transformative—a ritual of remembrance, balance, and inner stillness in a world that rarely slows down. No prior experience with mantra or meditation is necessary. Come open to receive and to reconnect.

Ready to honor practices that ripen us slowly? Rituals that nourish the body, soften the armor, and teach us how to stay. Longevity Yoga is one of those practices. After nearly twenty years of exploring the vast terrain of yoga traditions, Thr33 has distilled their path into the Kaiut Yoga Method: a grounded, intelligent system designed to support real bodies across a lifetime.

This training is a practice-centered immersion, offering 4+ hours of daily embodied exploration supported by soulful lectures and open-hearted discussion. Together, we’ll move through the science and spirit of sustainable mobility, learning how to care for joints, fascia, and the nervous system with curiosity and devotion. Each participant will leave with twenty carefully crafted sequences to support a lifelong home practice.

In this module, we’ll explore:
• The core principles of the Kaiut Method and why it is so effective for every body
• The art of unlearning—releasing old patterns to make space for longevity-focused practice
• New ways of teaching that honor clarity, compassion, and the long arc of a student’s growth
• The philosophy that roots this method and the timeless wisdom that threads through it

This is a training for teachers who want to move beyond performance and into presence—for those ready to embody a practice that honors the body’s seasons, its lineage, and its untamed wisdom.

Science, Wonder & Delight : the Subtle Body Anatomy of Yoga with Sierra Hollister
November 13 - 15, 2026
$350
MORE INFO & REGISTER

Knowledge of the energy of the invisible forces activated during our yoga practice is essential to truly understanding the power and potency of yoga. When yoga landed on the western shores, a slow de-yoking of the practice from the energetic, mystical, spiritual and metaphysical structures began as the physical practice was glorified above all other aspects.

This weekend is about re-yoking the original insights about the pathways of feeling, consciousness and energetic evolution, as illuminated more than 2,500 years ago, with the contemporary understanding of yoga today. In doing this, we return to the original, deeper intentions of the practice as well as experience our own practice more fully.

Students will be introduced to:
• Source & history of the Subtle Body Anatomy
• Prana & Movement of Prana ~ through the Universe & Self
• Foundation of Vedic Three Body Philosophy
• Koshas & Light Bodies
• Chakras, Nadis & Meridians

The Confluence of Practice & Justice ~ Yoga is a call to Action with Sierra Hollister
January 15 - 17, 2027
$350
MORE INFO & REGISTER

Our yoga practice has the potential to heal and restore wholeness not only for ourselves but also for the world. Indeed, this revelation
and call to action is at the very heart of the practice waiting to be discovered and embodied.
Our practice is a path to yoke our body, mind and spirit, to yoke our individual consciousness to the divine and universal consciousness.
In this way, we are returned to our true nature, remembering that we are connected, not only to the divine but to each other. Any sense of being separate is an illusion.
We find our call to action right at the beginning, illuminated by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras as the eight limbs: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi.
These eight limbs provide a template of yogic conduct and are considered to be great and universal vows for all practitioners.
As our practice deepens, so too does our yearning for the liberation of all, for the cessation of suffering as well as the well-being, comfort, and peace for all beings. The connection and beauty found in practice feeds the yearning for that same connection and beauty to be reflected throughout the world. This yearning is meant to fuel your answer to inherent call to action that yoga is and always has been.
This weekend is an exploration of the great and universal vows and how we, as students can live our vows and embody the deep beauty and timeless wisdom of yoga with clarity and coherence.

Curriculum will include:
• The beginning path of yoga as illuminated in the eight limbs
• Appropriation and commodification of yoga over time
• Justice as a light in all realms
• Relationships of Repair
• Practices of Discernment for Action (or, how to stay connected
to the fire without getting burned)
• Self-realization off the mat, in the world & more
