Move with breath. Anchor in presence. Flow into yourself.
Rooted in the fluid poetry of Vinyasa, this class is a living meditation - an elegant dance between breath and body.
We begin by softly arriving with grounding breathwork, then flow through standing shapes, balancing postures, and reclined asanas. A gentle peak pose may be threaded in toward the end, inviting you to explore your edge with curiosity, not pressure.
We close with restorative shapes and meditation, inviting deeply grounded rest.
Come early (doors open at 5:15 PM) to sip a cup of my homemade organic tea and ease into the space.
Aromatherapy will be offered during Savasana to seal your practice with softness.
Move gently. Breathe deeply. Return to yourself.
This is a space to slow down, soften, and come home to your body. A gentle blend of Vinyasa and Hatha traditions, Slow Flow invites you into a meditative rhythm - where movement becomes a prayer, and breath becomes the thread that weaves it all together.
We begin with breathwork to anchor the mind and awaken presence. From there, we move with intention - through slow, fluid sequences and joint mobility work that tend to the body with care. You’ll have time to feel, to breathe, and to simply be.
Class closes with calming asanas and a soothing meditation to help your nervous system rest and reset.
This practice is perfect for beginners, deep feelers, or anyone craving a quieter kind of strength - one rooted in softness, awareness, and connection.
Arrive early (doors open at 9:45 AM) and settle in with a cup of my homemade organic tea.
Savasana is infused with aromatherapy to help you fully melt into rest.
Stillness. Surrender. Sound that speaks to the soul.
Join me Friday evenings for a deeply restorative ritual - a fusion of yin yoga and ancient sound healing that invites your body to rest, your mind to soften, and your spirit to remember its rhythm.
We begin by arriving. With homemade herbal tea in hand and soft aromatherapy in the air, we settle into the space - into ourselves. Gentle breathwork opens the doorway to the parasympathetic nervous system, guiding you out of the noise of the day and into the quiet of your inner world.
From there, we move slowly - through a sequence of yin and restorative postures held close to the earth. Shapes are supported, long-held, and deeply nourishing. Most are done seated or lying down, creating a safe cocoon for reflection and release.
As your body opens, the sound begins to flow. You'll be immersed in the resonant tones of my Paiste gong, crystal quartz and Himalayan singing bowls, Zaphir chimes, and voice - each one designed to calm the nervous system, balance the subtle energy body, and stir something ancient within.
Rooted in traditions that span Egypt, India, Greece, and beyond, sound healing has long been used to restore harmony - within organs, emotions, and brainwaves alike. In this space, it becomes your ally in surrender.
Doors open at 5:15 PM. Come early for tea, community, and to ease into the frequency of stillness.
This is more than a class- it’s a ceremony. A soft space to land. A gentle way to begin again.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or have had recent surgery, please let me know before class. People who have sound-induced epilepsy should avoid all forms of sound healing.
Build heat. Cultivate strength. Move with intention.
Join me for a multidimensional movement experience that blends the grounding wisdom of yoga with the fire of strength training. This is where mindful breath meets muscular challenge - where you’ll flow, sculpt, and sweat with purpose.
Each class has a focus - glutes, core, shoulders, or hips - designed to target specific areas while supporting overall balance and mobility.
We begin with breathwork and Vinyasa-inspired sequences to warm the body and awaken the joints, then build into conditioning circuits using booty bands, light weights, and core sliders. Expect creative, powerful movement that will leave you feeling strong and empowered - never depleted.
We’ll close with grounding asanas and a long, nourishing Savasana to help you fully absorb the benefits of your effort.
Come early for a cup of homemade herbal tea and time to settle in.
Aromatherapy compresses offered during Savasana for deep release.
Expect to move with fire, breathe with focus, and leave feeling strong, clear, and reconnected.
A monthly ritual of rest, imagination, and elemental wisdom.
Once a month, Sanctuary transforms into a quiet little nest ~ a softly lit space to curl up, sip warm tea, slow your breath, and slip into a story crafted for the season you’re in.
Storytime + Sound is our grown-up version of being read to before bed: a gentle blend of grounding breathwork, visual meditation, elemental folklore, and a soothing sound bath to close. Each month features a new tale inspired by the natural world ~ the elements, the shifting seasons, and the folklore carried through generations of storytellers.
You’ll begin by settling into a cozy, supported position before Mel reads a visual meditation written in the spirit of a folktale ~ grounded, imaginative, and full of subtle magic. From there, you’ll drift into a nurturing sound journey featuring crystal singing bowls, gong, and nature-inspired instruments. There is nothing you need to do or perform. Simply arrive, rest, and let the story wash over you.
What’s Included
• Gentle grounding + pranayama
• A seasonal story or guided visual meditation read aloud
• A full sound bath to integrate the theme
• Cozy props, blankets, warm tea, and lots of spaciousness
• A simple intention or reflection to carry into your week
Who This Is For
This offering is perfect for anyone craving softness, ritual, imagination, or a deeper connection to the seasons. Ideal for those who love sound baths, guided meditation, storytelling, elemental wisdom, or moments of stillness.
Use any class pass, or join as a drop-in for $25.
Held on the last Saturday of each month.
Come rest with us in that tender pause between what has been and what’s about to begin.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or have had recent surgery, please let me know before class. People who have sound-induced epilepsy should avoid all forms of sound healing.
Learn with intention. Build from the ground up. Discover strength through alignment.
Form + Functional focuses on building from the ground up — emphasizing alignment, engagement, and intentional progression. Each class is designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and develop lasting confidence in your body.
We’ll explore balance, hip and shoulder stability, and contralateral strength through purposeful sequences that challenge both body and mind. Expect expert cueing and education woven into every movement, along with a welcoming environment where questions are encouraged and curiosity is key.
This class is for all levels — perfect for anyone wanting to refine their form, learn safe lifting techniques, or simply deepen their understanding of how the body moves.
Beyond strength and form, Form + Function is rooted in longevity. Supporting ease in your daily activities, resilience through life’s seasons, and the freedom to move well for years to come.
This is where you build from within — steady, strong, and soul-led.
Lift to the beat. Find your rhythm. Move with power.
Join Shae for a rhythm-based interval workout that blends mobility, strength, and sound to move you beyond your comfort zone and into your power. Each track becomes your tempo — guiding your breath, your effort, and your flow.
Built on the principle of progressive overload, each class intentionally builds on the last — helping you develop strength, endurance, and confidence over time. Every session alternates muscle groups to promote recovery, enhance balance, and help you feel strong from the inside out.
Expect intentional, expert programming with beginner, intermediate, and advanced options, high-energy music, and heart-forward coaching that meets you exactly where you are.
This is where science meets soul — rhythm meets resilience.

Your lower back is the bridge between stability and freedom — the place where you stand tall yet learn to bend with life’s changing winds.
Join us for a nourishing afternoon of mindful movement, education, and deep rest designed to help you feel grounded, supported, and strong from the inside out.
Mel will guide you through gentle diaphragmatic pranayama and mobility work to awaken awareness through the hips, spine, and core — exploring how fluid movement and healthy range of motion can bring new ease and freedom to the body.
Shae, a Certified Kinesiologist, will then lead a strength and conditioning sequence focused on stability, balance, and intelligent alignment — teaching you how to protect and empower your lower back with evidence-based movement patterns.
We’ll finish with restorative lower-back asanas and a kidney-focused sound bath inspired by the Water element — a soothing immersion to calm the nervous system, replenish energy, and release tension from the back body and beyond.

▪️ Move with confidence after injury, tightness, or chronic discomfort
▪️ Counter the effects of long hours of sitting or desk work
