This practice is intentionally designed to bring you into a deep, centered, and relaxed state. Resting the body in different forms allows the mind to soften and the heart to expand open. Reiki and essential oils will be offered as optional additions to help the body in this process of release and restoration. The practice of restorative yoga is healing to body and mind.
yoga for everyday life
Join us the last Sunday of each month for a special class that explores how to carry the peace and presence we find on the yoga mat into our daily lives. Yoga is not just about creating flexibility in our bodies— it also opens our minds and hearts.
Each month, we'll explore different topics that may include yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, open discussion, breathwork, meditation, and/or gentle movement. Together, we will discover how yoga can help us nurture deeper connections with ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us.

WINTER COCOON: A NIGHT OF DEEP REST, RENEWAL, & INTENTION
Join Jen Kelleher and Catherine Yeager-McQuaid (NYS LMT) for Winter Cocoon— a nourishing, multi-sensory workshop designed to help you rest your body, clear your energy, and gently align for the year ahead.
Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element Theory, Traditional Astrology, and Ayurveda, this magical experience honors winter as a sacred season of restoration, reflection, and quiet power.
The evening will begin with an exploration of the astrology and energy of the year ahead, offering you insight and intention as you cross the threshold into new beginnings. You'll receive hands-on Licensed Shiatsu Massage focusing on the winter meridians and conception vessel— ancient pathways that support deep rest and vitality during this season. Participants will be led through a restorative yoga practice and into the depth of a healing sound bath. Essential oils, intuitive card readings, and personalized tarot pulls will weave through the experience, along with seasonal tea and other thoughtful elements designed to support profound rest and nervous system renewal.
This is an invitation to be cared for— to unplug from the outside world, sink into stillness, and allow yourself to receive. Come as you are, wrap yourself in warmth and presence, and leave feeling grounded, replenished, renewed, and softly supported as you move through winter and into the year ahead.
PROGRESS ON THE PATH: WHAT MAKES AN ADVANCED PRACTICE?
How do we measure the efficacy of our yoga practice? What keeps us coming back? What draws us to seek out the practice in the first place?
There are endless benefits to practicing yoga, and progress will look different in everyone. For some, it looks measurable or physical like an increase in mobility, or a decrease in muscling through, or poses that were pipe-dreams become available.
Since yoga isn’t just about the physical aspect, progress and advancement may also come in the form of heightened awareness of the value of life, or a new way of viewing yourself in the world, or greater self acceptance, or even expressions of kindness and compassion toward others.
While “advanced yoga” often conjures images of bendy poses, balancing inversions, or meditating for hours, and a general belief that more is better, what if we approach it through the lens of finding depth in the basics? Truth is, the more complicated the pose, the more refined at the basics a practitioner is, so the advanced yogi is always a beginner!
Our two hour all levels workshop will focus on developing a deeper level of self inquiry and appreciation of subtlety through progressive technique, refined alignment principles, and finding balance between strong effort and softness. Expect a mixed asana practice, including backbends and inversions, with a few tricks and challenges along the way!
We’ll break down the basics in this workshop an students will come away with:
- A refined understanding of foundational poses and their benefits
- Clearer understanding of what “next level” means individually
- An ability to recognize where to strengthen, and where to soften
- Improved awareness for recognizing one’s own proclivities for movement and structural limits
