Join us for a Rain’s Garden event (weather permitting) that includes some play! Lorraine’s sister, Jenn, owns Phoenix Fitness in Simpsonville. She hosts an event each year in Rain’s honor to raise money for Greenville Cancer Society (now known as Neighborhood Cancer Connection). This year, we are hosting the event in our garden! If it rains, we will be in studio with doors open.

Join residents of Sans Souci and Greenville Yoga students for our third yearly plant swap! Bring plant cuttings (indoor or outdoor), plants you wish to share, pots and soil. Take home any plants you wish from the offerings. While you are here, Rain’s Garden could use some tending. Bring gloves to weed flower beds or a shovel to plant some new flowers, sunflower seeds and more. We have some painting to do for those that prefer indoor chores as well. Many hands make light work.

This event is FREE, open to all and will be held rain or shine.

Join Callie for a 2-hour exploratory immersion. Workshop will include time for breathing to get centered and anchored in the moment, time for intention setting, and time just to listen in. Following the sound bath, Nikki will lead a meditation and journal prompt to integrate your experience into your daily life.

Comfort: Bring a yoga mat, cushion, or blanket for your comfort during the sound journey.

Hydration: Stay hydrated before and after the session.

Attire: Wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Silence: Maintain silence during the sound immersion to deepen your experience.

Remember, this is your sacred time to tune in, release, and rejuvenate.

Cost: Sliding scale beginning at $18 / person

Low back pain? SI joint pain? What's the difference, and does it matter? Join Jill for a bit of anatomy, some gentle movement exploration to determine exactly where your back hurts, and a slow asana practice to help release tension and find ease.

Class is in person and limited to 12.

According to the natural rhythm of nature, our energetic new year is in the spring. There is movement, flowers are budding & blooming, and the gray landscape is slowly becoming vibrant. In that slow awakening, we will flow into an Egyptian yoga practice. This African yoga system is a slow, breath-centered practice.

Want to learn to follow the gentle rhythms of nature? How to rest and sleep without guilt or irritation? How to play when maybe you (like me) aren’t even sure what that means as an adult? Want to live your life more fully and connect with your inner knowing to live in a heartfelt way? Then join me, Liz, for a year-long gathering from the comfort of your home. Together, we can be curious, try new things, and maybe even find some joy!

Each year, we create a theme for our studio that follows the rhythms of nature. One thing I have noticed each year is how difficult it can be to “buck the system” and return to the natural order of things. This year, I am excited to offer a year-long offer dedicated to community healing. Let’s get inspired together and learn how the ripple effects of our tiny actions create powerful healing in the communities that surround us. Join us for the theme of 2024: Rest & Play.

You're invited to join us for a New Moon Circle led by Sonci. The moon is a powerful and beautiful teacher. By connecting to her natural rhythms and wisdoms, we are able to more deeply connect to our own magic and inner wisdom. This offering includes Yoga Nidra (restful meditation), intention creation, and time for connection. Each circle is unique and has a special theme that we will explore together. All are welcome, no prior knowledge or experience necessary. Please dress cozy, come with an open heart, and a journal (optional). When we gather, magic happens!

Class size limited to 16 participants. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Due to the advanced preparation and supplies needed for this class, we will turn students away at the door if we are at capacity.

Join Deb for an exploration of Yin Yoga, breathwork, and meditation. This is the midpoint between winter and spring and a great time for a reset or refresh. First, we learn to feel the body. Then, we feel the breath. After that, we notice anything that distracts us or takes us away from this moment of presence.  Use the breath and body to anchor yourself in exploring awareness (that wide open, spacious place) as a safe place to land.  This workshop will focus on breath, body awareness in Yin poses, and meditative practice.

Cost: $15 virtual, $18 in person

Calling all women who are in the messy middle… the rug has been pulled out, the children may have gone off to college, the relationship may have ended, the old dream doesn’t feel the same anymore.  For all of you on the precipice of change, the old life / look / love doesn’t fit any longer… Join a small group of women to redefine the life you want to live, free from negative self-talk and free from the voices of the “others” in your life. We invite you to “Find Beauty in the Middle.” Whether is middle age, middle of change, any messy middle, this is your time.

Course will include group and individual coaching with Liz (following Martha Beck’s Wayfinder method), yoga, and a few special additions from our community. Click photo for full details.

The word kirtan stems from a Sanskrit root that means to cut through. David Newman (teacher of kirtan) says kirtan is also "a practice for cutting through the idea of separation, for connecting to our hearts and connecting to the moment through sound."

Please join us for a blissful evening enjoying the Bhakti Yoga practice of Kirtan, a tradition of singing universal mantras in a call and response format. Bhakti yoga is one of the four main yogic paths to enlightenment. Bhakti means "devotion" or "love" and this path contains various practices to unite the bhakta with the divine. One of those practices, Kirtan is the most popular path in the west, as it invites everyone to participate in whatever way feels right for them. It only requires your showing up with an open mind and a joyful spirit. During the Kirtan we will blend our voices to create a deep sense of connection to something greater than ourselves, as we purify our hearts and liberate our souls with this ancient devotional practice.

Donations welcome.

In this series, Kristen will provide you with yogic practices and tools that will help you to reconnect to Self, to create more awareness and compassion around healthy lifestyle choices, and to help you feel more empowered and excited about this transition towards the second half of your life after perimenopause. Let this be your invitation for a recalibration of how you might view perimenopause. And a beautiful bonus, you will gain a community of like-minded women to share, learn from, and be inspired by.

Join us for a special candle lit winter solstice event to guide you into the still, quiet season of winter. In Chinese Medicine, the season of Winter is the season of the kidneys which govern our low back health, joint lubrication, fear of letting go and overall lack of trust. It is said that our kidneys house our essence energy (Jing). This essence energy guides much of our days, our energetic levels and even the emotional flavors we carry with us. Take time to move into inner quietude, notice where you are holding and learn to let go to find the nourishment held in hibernation and Wintering.

Cost: sliding scale beginning at $5

New Year, New me? Is this true to my nature?

There is always a call to be more, do more, become more…and all at the strike of Midnight on New Years Eve! Society has pressed us to rewire ourselves overnight to make ourselves more meaningful, more worthy of stepping into a new timeline. No! The world will tell you you were born out of mechanics instead of magic, that you are a machine and not a miracle. You need time, just as any other thing that animates in this world. A flower does not become a flower overnight. You deserve that kind of time because it is in your nature.

This isn’t your normal vision board… it’s not about getting things or achieving goals. This vision board is about finding the feeling. Discover what feeling you wish to create as you move into the new year. We will start with a brief meditation to find your feeling and then go from there. Bring scissors, glue / gluesticks, magazines, photos, poster board or canvas (some kind of base for your project). Social time encouraged and welcomed while we create together.

Sign up on our calendar just to let Liz know you are coming.

Cost: free
