What if yoga was never meant to end when you rolled up your mat?

The Art of Slowing Down is a six-week journey into the deeper layers of yoga beyond the physical practice and into the traditions, philosophy, and ways of living that make this practice so special.

In this series, we’ll explore what it truly means to practice yoga. Each week, we’ll move beyond simply learning poses and begin to understand the why behind the practice: the ancient wisdom, sacred traditions, philosophy, and teachings that have shaped yoga for thousands of years.

The studio becomes our laboratory a space to explore, observe, feel, practice, and learn. But when we walk out those doors, the real practice begins.

How do we practice patience when we're frustrated?

How do we cultivate compassion when it's difficult?

How do we become more present in our everyday lives?

How do we let go, listen inward, live with intention, and move through the world with greater awareness?

Over six weeks, we’ll slow down enough to look beneath the surface of yoga and discover how its teachings can become a part of the way we live, not just the way we move.

Each week will dive deeper into a different aspect of yoga philosophy and tradition, weaving together movement, reflection, meditation, breath, conversation, tea and practical ways to take these teachings beyond the studio.

This is an invitation to slow down, go deeper, and remember that yoga is so much more than asana.

Week 1 — ARRIVE
The practice of Presence. The practice of becoming fully here, rather than constantly living in the past or anticipating what comes next.

Week 2 — BREATHE
The importance of breath and practice of creating space. We’ll explore pranayama, the yogic practices of working with the breath and life force, and how the breath can help us create space physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Week 3 — RELEASE
The practice of apargraha (letting go). Aparigraha is one of the Yamas of yoga, often translated as non-grasping or non-attachment. We’ll explore the difference between holding with intention and holding on out of fear and how letting go can create room for something new.

Week 4 — SOFTEN
The practice of ahimsa (compassion). Ahimsa, traditionally translated as non-harming or non-violence. We’ll look at compassion as an active practice. One that begins with the way we speak to ourselves, listen to our bodies, set boundaries, and move through the world.

Week 5 — LISTEN
The practice of svadvyaya (self-study). Svadhyaya the yogic practice of self-study. We’ll turn our attention inward and explore the patters, thoughts, reactions, beliefs, and stories that shape the way we experience ourselves and the world.

Week 6 — TRUST
The practice of surrender + integration. Our final week explores surrender, trust, and integration- bringing everything we’ve explored throughout the series into our lives beyond the studio. We’ll reflect on what it means to trust the process, release the illusion of control, and create space for life to unfold.

This will be a closed series in order to keep it intimate, the same people each week, and to be able to cover a lot of the material over the course of 6-weeks. 10 people max.

Please bring a journal, dress comfy, and bring anything else that you may want. We will go through gentle movement, somatic healing, meditation, yin, restorative yoga, sound healing, oracle cards, teatime, journaling, and conversation.
