Candlelight Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath
Thursday, Jan 22: 7:00-8:30 pm

Give yourself permission to deeply rest your body and mind in this 60 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, Jan 25: 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.

Gentle Movement + Sound Bath
Tuesday, Jan 27: 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.

Awakening the Diaphragm / an exploration of freediving breathing techniques
Thursday, Jan 29: 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.

Awakening Loving Presence / A Metta Meditation + Journaling Workshop
Saturday, Feb 21: 3:00-4:30 pm

When fear and division run rampant in our world, how do we teach our hearts that it is safe to be open, safe to be tender, safe to love? The Buddhist practice of Metta Meditation—where we intentionally cultivate feelings of lovingkindness and compassion for ourselves and others —is not just a medicine for our times as a collective, but a powerful tool for allowing us to experience deeper healing and connection in our daily lives.

In this workshop, we’ll explore a short heart-opening flow to release stuck energy and prepare our bodies and minds for the guided Metta Meditation. Then, we’ll go deeper into the practice with guided journaling and group dialogue that will help us take the practice off our mats and into our everyday lives and our immediate relationships.

All levels of yoga, meditation, and writing experience are welcome and encouraged.

Natalli Amato is a bhakti yoga teacher, writer, marriage and family therapist, and Reiki healer dedicated to helping others “wake up” to their true nature of unshakeable goodness and love. Her offerings are heart-centered and rooted in her warm, non-judgmental presence. She has written about yoga and spirituality for Chopra Global, Spirituality & Health Magazine, Her Agenda, and other publications, and is the host of the Due North Podcast, a home for conscious conversations on the spiritual path.

Yoga Philosophy / The Obstacles and the Remover of Obstacles
Thursday, Feb 26: 7:00-8:30 pm

In the Yoga Sutras we find five obstacles, Kleshas in Sanskrit  - ignorance, ego, attachment, aversion, and fear of death – these are the five obstacles on the yogic path, they obscure clear perception, dim the inner lamp and preclude inner peace. If we want to attain enlightenment, we must overcome these obstacles.  How ? Through the practice of Yoga.  We’ll explore the Kleshas together and learn why and how to consistent effort, devotion and discipline can help you to master them.

Being practical about it, we’ll begin and conclude our time together by invoking Ganesha for help clearing our path.   For those who seek divine wisdom, Ganesha, is known as the patron of Yogis and the remover of obstacles.  We’ll share stories about Ganesha and cultivate devotion, learning a few mantras that we can chant to call on him to remove some obstacles.  Om Gam Ganapataye Namah.

All are welcome. No experience necessary.

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.

Yoga Philosophy / The History of Yoga  
Wednesday, Apr 22: 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.
