Awakening the Diaphragm / an exploration of freediving breathing techniques
Thursday, Mar 12: 7:00-8:00 pm

Unlock your breath. Calm your mind. Dive deeper.

Join us for a focused session on diaphragmatic breathing—learning to isolate, stretch, and activate the most powerful muscle for breath control. We’ll explore specific stretches to release tension, increase flexibility, and help you fully access your lungs. You’ll also be introduced to the freediving “breathe-up” technique: a calming breath pattern that lowers your heart rate and prepares your body for stillness, both in and out of the water. We’ll also explore the art of breath-hold (static apnea) and learn how to tap into the mammalian dive reflex.  Perfect for yogis, breathwork practitioners, and ocean lovers alike.

Tracy Wollschlager, founder of Freedive Key West, is a certified FII Freediving Instructor. Her journey with the ocean began in childhood and has since evolved into a lifelong passion for freediving, marine exploration, and holistic living. With over a decade of freediving experience, Tracy has explored the waters of her backyard and some of the most beautiful underwater destinations around the world.

In addition to freediving, Tracy is a devoted yoga practitioner, and her practice deeply informs her teaching. She integrates yoga’s principles of breath awareness, mindfulness, and physical balance into every course—creating a calm, grounded, and focused environment for her students. Her philosophy emphasizes safety, respect for marine life, and a meaningful connection with the underwater world.

No experience necessary. Just bring your breath.

Gentle Movement + Sound Bath
Saturday, Mar 14: 7:00-8:30 pm

Give yourself permission to deeply rest your body and mind. This immersive offering combines yoga with the power of sound healing and encourages physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Begin with conscious breathing accompanied by slow, gentle movements. Once our body is more at ease and our mind less busy, we then drop in for a 45 minute Sound Bath. This practice is one that will help restore your inner light and come back home to yourself, your true nature.

How does a sound bath work? The sound waves help relax muscles, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality. When you listen to soothing sounds, you enter a state of relaxation called alpha brain wave activity. Alpha waves are associated with deep concentration and creativity. This makes them ideal for creative endeavors, including writing and painting. Beta waves are minimized during this state, which means you become less aware of external stimuli. You may feel relaxed, focused, and even sleepy.

Sound baths allow you to completely immerse yourself in the experience of healing vibrations. As you listen to the music, your body relaxes, your mind lets go of thoughts and you enter into a deep a state of calm.

Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary. Come as you are.

Candlelight Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath
Thursday, Mar 19: 7:00-8:30 pm

Give yourself permission to deeply rest your body and mind in this 90 minute lay low and glow class. This offering encourages physical, mental, and emotional rest. This slow paced and close to the Earth class is devoted to focusing on progressive relaxation techniques and conscious breathing while being guided from the gross layers of our being to the more subtle whispers of deep knowing within. When we slow down enough we can really feel for what is going on honestly within ourselves. Once our body is more at ease and our mind less busy, we then drop into the practice of Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is an ancient Tantric deep relaxation practice, state of consciousness and the nurturing quality of the goddess, meant to allow you to rest in spacious awareness and connect to your innate power and wisdom. Singing sound bowls will bathe you in healing vibration throughout. This practice is one that will help restore your inner light and come back home to yourself, your true nature.

The Pine Practice
Sunday, Mar 22: 7:00-8:30 pm

Pine is a yin-yoga based movement practice that helps regulate the nervous system during perimenopause and menopause. Through movement, breath, and community, Pine helps to reestablish a feeling of home in your changing body. 

The menopause transition (from perimenopause to post menopause) asks us for softness, not intensity. Pine’s slow, introspective, regulating nature is the perfect counterbalance to the chaos and dysregulation of hormone depletion.

Join us to ground, balance, move, breathe, soften, and listen to what the body knows. Yoga experience not required. All bodies welcome. Props will be provided.

Yoga Philosophy / The 8 Limbs  
Sunday, Mar 29: 4:00-5:30 pm

In the Yoga Sutras we find the eight limbs of yoga, Ashtanga in Sanskrit—yamas, niyamas, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi. We’ll explore all eight limbs together and learn why and how consistent effort, devotion and discipline can help you to master them.

After a brief introduction to Patanjali, to whom we ascribe the Yoga Sutras and a little discussion of the sutra tradition and it’s place in the framework of the history of yoga, we’ll practice some practical Sanskrit and more importantly you’ll develop your own understanding of the meaning of the eight limbs. 

All are welcome. No experience necessary.

Own Your Energy / Own Your Life
Sat, Apr 4 + Sun, Apr 5: 10:00 am-4:00 pm

In this weekend immersion for yoga teachers and yoga practitioners with at least one year of experience, we will dive into understanding the energy body through the framework of vayus, chakras and bandhas. Ancient yogis developed a useful in depth map of the energy body that still applies to modern day ways of living in the body. Learn about this framework, how to visualize and access your energy body, and ultimately use it as a tool to feel more whole and integrated in the world.

Understanding of the vayus, chakras and bandhas can help you to feel more energized, cultivate a clear/ calm mind, balance your energy, and listen to the whispers of the body in a way that helps you make more informed decisions so that you can awaken to your innermost truth, power, and radiance.

Each day will include group practice, lecture/discussion, and practical applications of the tools you learn.

Yoga Philosophy / The History of Yoga  
Friday, Apr 24: 7:00-8:30 pm

We can trace the written history of Yoga back to the ancient wisdom tradition of the Vedas and we can also see evidence of Yoga that predates the written record. Together we’ll build a timeline of Yoga from the Vedas to modern day. Along the way we’ll examine source texts and share stories from them.  We’ll see how the various paths and styles of practice developed throughout history.

This is a beautiful way to discover just how deep and varied the roots of Yoga are. You’ll see how so many paths all lead to the same place. You may even find something new that resonates with you.

All are welcome. No experience necessary.
