Free Juneteenth Celebration Class with Caylyn
A recently declared national holiday, Juneteenth has long been celebrated by the Black community in the US to honor freedom from enslavement - 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, news finally arrived to enslaved peoples in Texas. It's important to remember that freedom from slavery didn't mean freedom from white supremacy. Juneteenth should serve as both a holiday to celebrate but also to reflect on the promises that remain unfulfilled by this country especially as this administration is trying to erase history.
Come celebrate with yoga, music and movement!

Friday Night Live: Jivamukti Vinyasa + Sound Bath
A guided Jivamukti vinyasa yoga class that seamlessly transitions into a live-music meditative and healing sound bath with Chris Hill
Expect a well-rounded flowing practice designed to make you move and sweat as well as encourage curiosity and spiritual activation that flows gently into a long-form sound bath using sound healing instruments including antique singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras.

Summer Solstice 3rd Chakra & Inversions Workshop
Take the next step on your asana adventure and discover your inner strength during this creative exploration of inversions! The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and a time to salute and give gratitude to the sun for it’s warmth, light and energy! In yoga, the Sun is our inner light, the primal and natural force that sustains the vitality of the body and lights us up and warms us up from within. In this workshop you will honor the solar energy within by activating the solar plexus and building confidence in your inversion practice.
Inversions can build strength, confidence and help us to develop balance in difficult situations. They also bring us fully into the present moment and develop a deeper sense of focus through taking on unique shapes that we don't usually encounter in our everyday lives.
Tony will help you deepen your understanding of the structure, alignment and breath needed for safe execution, while offering special tips and tricks to modify during your journey. You do not have to go upside down, but DO get ready to transform your fears into an uplifting experience that will benefit your whole practice!
Walk away with the confidence to spread your wings and face your fears with the help of props, the wall and your fellow yogis. Come ready to play, have fun, and learn to FLY!

Friday Night Chill: Indian Raag & Restorative Yoga
A Friday Night Live & Chill Mashup! A blissful Restorative Yoga practice accompanied by a sound healing experience of live music, traditional Indian Ragas brought to life in a modern context with musicians Jun and Ashwini
Discover the transformative power of Indian classical music through the timeless art of raag (also spelled raga)—a melodic framework rich with emotional, spiritual, and therapeutic depth. More than a scale, each raag carries a unique mood and identity, guided by intricate rules of melody, rhythm, and ornamentation. For centuries, ragas have been believed to influence the mind and body, with certain melodies known to calm, uplift, or even heal—a practice sometimes referred to as raag therapy.
In South Asian musical traditions, ragas are more than compositions—they are living forces that invoke deep emotional responses and connect listeners with the divine.
