Meridian Flow for a Peaceful and Joyful Heart!
FULL
Sunday June 14, 2026 8:30am - 9:30am EDT
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
The Meridian Flow is a dynamic combination of Alignment-based Vinyasa Yoga, Chinese medicine, and Qigong. In the five-elemental paradigm, according to Chinese medicine, each season's energy corresponds to a different pair of organs' energy (or qi). The energy of the fire season (early summer) corresponds to the energy of the HEART and Small Intestine. Throughout this class, we will stimulate their energy pathways, known as meridians, by pressurizing and lengthening them in our Yoga and Qigong sets, which will create an acupressure effect. 
We will be strengthening the arms, through which the heart and small intestine meridians run, as well as stretching them to release stagnation. We will flow through yoga sequences and qigong sets specifically designed for the heart, which will provide us with a peaceful and joyful heart, the emotions that we benefit from when the heart qi is balanced, rather than stress and anxiety, which deplete the heart when the qi is maladapted. 
What makes this practice unique is the laser-like focus of meridian breathing, where the meridians are visualized as golden threads of light. This is an ancient healing Qigong technique known as Yi Qi Li, which guides energy with consciousness, strengthening the muscles of focused concentration, the 6th limb in the eight-fold path of yoga, known as Dharana, which precedes Dhyana, meditation. Therefore, this practice becomes a form of mediation in motion. You'll leave feeling a deep sense of peace, as well as a joyful energy that will set you up well for the rest of your day.

This is where you pause, soften, and "sit with your sh!t —as Jyll says—physically, emotionally, energetically. Supported shapes, longer holds, and intentional stillness create space to align the close of your week or gently prepare for what’s ahead.

Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, clear, and deeply restored.

The Practice as Sacred Alchemy: Magick, Ritual, and Yoga
Sunday June 14, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Magick is often described as the ability to shift energy through intention, and this is precisely what happens when movement, breath, and prayer are woven together with awareness. When practiced this way, yoga becomes an alchemical process, transforming contraction into expansion, fear into insight, and habit into conscious choice.
In this class, practice is approached as ritual. Movement becomes devotion. Breath becomes invocation. The body becomes a living altar through which we engage transformation not as an abstract concept, but as a lived, felt experience. When intention is embodied, yoga moves beyond exercise and becomes a means of aligning personal healing with something larger than the self.
Together, we will move through a soulful and intelligently sequenced practice that includes Sun Salutes A and B, standing poses, backbends, forward bends, inversions, meditation, mantra, mudra, and prayer.

Rooted Radiance: A Pelvic Awakening Practice
FILLING
Sunday June 14, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am EDT
Limited Capacity filling up
Reconnect to the deep intelligence of your center. In this slow, steady practice, we’ll explore the pelvis as the body’s structural foundation and a potent energetic hub. We’ll begin by mapping the functional anatomy of the pelvis. Through accessible movement, you’ll learn how these structures collaborate to provide stability, mobility, and ease in daily life. Expect practices that illuminate how the pelvis moves with breath, how the pelvic floor responds to load and release, and how balanced engagement can support the spine, hips, and core. From there, we’ll shift into the energetics of the pelvis, exploring this space as the seat of grounding, creativity, and inner radiance. Using guided breathwork, visualizations, and slow, fluid movement, we’ll attune to the subtle rhythms of  flowing energy and the rooting and creative spark of first and second chakras. You’ll be invited to sense the pelvis not just as anatomy, but as home—an anchor point for intuition, presence, and personal power.

The Kaia Methodology is a workshop led by founder Gina Norman that explores how sequencing, strength, breath, and awareness work together to create a sustainable, full-body yoga practice. Through a steady, intelligently paced class with ample hands-on assists, Gina helps students feel and understand why yoga is taught as a complete system—not as isolated poses. Rather than pulling the practice apart, this workshop emphasizes the integration of movement, breath, and meditation, showing how their combined effect supports strength, balance, and a sense of wholeness. The Kaia Methodology uses four core themes—philosophical focus, alignment, peak pose, and physical focus—to create a well-rounded class that leaves you feeling integrated. This workshop is ideal for students and teachers who want a deeper understanding of functional yoga and a practice that feels strong, grounded, and complete—on and off the mat.
