Some of yoga’s most profound teachings are not meant to be understood. They are meant to be experienced. Rooted in the Himalayan tradition, this immersive practice introduces participants to kriya, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and breath-based techniques designed to influence the body, mind, and subtle energetic system. For thousands of years, these practices have been used to cultivate greater awareness, clarity, vitality, and connection. Through direct experience, participants will explore how breath and attention can shift consciousness, quiet the fluctuations of the mind, and open the door to deeper states of presence and interconnectedness. No prior yoga experience is necessary. Please note: Due to the nature of certain breathwork and kriya practices, this experience is not recommended during pregnancy. Come curious.  info@expandbreathe.com https://www.expandbreathe.com/events

 Are you feeling stuck in a rut and want to see new possibilities? We will use our bodies, along with the 4 elements (earth, water, fire and air), to expand your awareness of your chosen coaching topic, then use our brains to reflect and evaluate.  Come with a question. Leave with ideas and new directions.

Yoga flow class to bring breath and body awareness together flowing with breath to movement to help invigorate and also calm the nervous system, designed for all yoga levels

This workshop invites us to open our imagination and listen intently to the deep, embodied dimensions of our experience. With curiosity, witness your body’s story reveal itself through meditative movement.

Inspired by principles of authentic movement, we’ll play with Self-directed movement that is inwardly focused, inviting form to experience that may not be easily verbalized. We’ll explore what images, symbols, and words naturally arise and wish to be expressed through poetry or other preferred methods of artistic expression.

This workshop integrates depth psychology, somatic exploration, and creative expressive arts to explore the wisdom and poetry of the body.

No prior experience with art or movement is needed.

A simple offering of movement and breath.

Our facilitated song circles weave playful,  guided activities and games with opportunities for free-form exploration. Immerse yourself in a journey of self-discovery and creative expression as you experience the vibrant energy of collective drumming.

The best part? It’s oh-so-GOOD for you!

Our drum circles are not only FUN—they’re also a pathway to well-being. These activities are grounded in an integrated model of evidence-based practices that promote a wide range of  therapeutic and holistic health benefits . You’ll experience positive effects across physical, cognitive, mental, emotional, and social dimensions of well-being, including stress relief.

Our circles are a great way to meet new people and find out that we have more in common than we realize! According to the Bamana people of West Africa, the djembe drum was named from the saying “Anke djé, anke bé” which roughly translates to “Everyone gather together in peace.”

Absolutely NO previous musical/drumming experience is necessary, even if you think you have no rhythm! If you have been curious about a drum circle but were afraid to try, now is your chance  - come play! We'll bring the drums!

PHASE PT & Wellness is a whole-organism recovery and longevity practice built around a simple idea: the human body has a remarkable capacity to adapt, reorganize, and recover when it has the right conditions and support. Our approach brings together holistic and alternative perspectives, evidence-informed physical therapy and longevity education, frequency-based modalities, and restorative lifestyle care to help people better understand their bodies and move through every phase of life with greater confidence.

We're often taught to outsource our understanding of our bodies to experts, tests, devices, and diagnoses. At PHASE, we see the body as the expert in the room. Our role isn't to "fix" people, but to help them notice patterns, connect physical signals with context, and make more informed decisions about what kind of support they may need.
