- An inspiring theme for the day
- A guided visualization inviting peace, beauty, and spaciousness
- Reiki healing offered by advanced practitioners
- Quiet time to rest in stillness
Doors open at 12:15 p.m., and the session lasts approximately 60 minutes. To preserve the peaceful atmosphere, we kindly ask that you enter and leave in silence, allowing the relaxation to settle into your system.
Sunday Sanctuary is a community offering held on the first Sunday of every month. Suggested donation is $15-$25. Donations are gratefully accepted but never required. All are welcome, and no experience is necessary— simply come as you are.

With: Helen
Join Helen for an evening of deep relaxation, release, and restoration. This therapeutic restorative practice is designed to calm the nervous system and gently unwind the tension the body holds— guiding you into a deep, centered, and profoundly relaxed state.
Using props for full support, Helen will guide you into a series of restful shapes held long enough for the body to truly let go. As the body rests, the mind softens, the breath deepens, and the heart opens. These supported forms create space for profound release, easing physical tension and stimulating the body's natural energy lines and capacity to heal.
Essential oils will be offered throughout to deepen the sense of calm and support the body's process of release and repair.
Restorative yoga is healing to both body and mind— a chance to slow down, feel held, and restore.
All are welcome. Must pre-register.

Sunday Service: Gratitude
Sun. 11/22
@ 12:00 – 1:15 pm
All are welcome.
Must pre-register.
Donation – In-Studio 22 spots
With: Bridget Scala
Gratitude invites us to slow down, find stillness, and reconnect with the abundance already present in our lives. Through mindful awareness, we learn to appreciate the present moment, honor our journey, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace, balance, and connection.
In the spirit of yoga, gratitude is a practice of coming back to ourselves, shifting our perspective, and opening our hearts to the beauty in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. By nurturing gratitude, we create space for greater joy, resilience, and a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us.
Join us for a Sunday gathering featuring a reflection on the practice of gratitude, guided meditation, personal self-reflection, and simple ways to bring more thankfulness and intention into our daily lives.
Come as you are, take a moment to breathe, and allow yourself to be present with all there is to appreciate.
