In the winter yoga series students are guided towards moving and feeling at the same time. We are transformed when we become students of our own experience. We build on themes and explore alignment that emphasizes relationships. Hands-on adjustments, demonstrations and intentional sequencing are offered.

We engage movement scores that bring forward what our bodies know. A dance with what is seen and unseen. We explore contact with each other and the environment to find movement that arises from being in a process of relating.

This Study Group focuses on an experiential approach to the short Red Tara text, centering on personal experience. We will investigate the text slowly, line by line and word by word, exploring the beautiful visualizations that summon radiance and emptiness.

Bringing attention to subtle and not so subtle areas of the body allows us to deepen and cultivate a felt sense. 

In the fall yoga series, we build on themes and explore alignment that emphasizes relationships. Hands-on adjustments, demonstrations and intentional sequencing are offered.

In Body of Relating we explore our aliveness. Through movement, meditation and discussion we engage in a creative process that investigates being with the world and depth of self as a mutually transformative process. When we move we are moving with the planetary body that is alive and knowable in each of us. When we sit we expand our sense of self to include our bones, blood, organs, skin and we sit with what our body knows of the earth.

In this online somatic movement series, we begin by asking: What is practice, and where does it truly begin?

Together, we’ll reconnect with our sense of devotion. Each of us has experienced moments of being captured, in awe and brought close to the heart—whether through nature, a person, or a moment of stillness. What does an experience of devotion and love bring to your practice?

Suniti shares her love, devotion and inspiration for practice. She teaches with warmth, generosity, care and a great deal of wonder and awe.

This fall I am trying something new and letting go of one of my drop-in classes and I am adding two new classes that will be offered as a series. 
The mere act of signing up for a series deepens your commitment to practice. Every week we build on themes and I will have the opportunity to get to know your practice and offer one on one attention in a community centered environment.

Join Melissa and Suniti this June for our annual retreat on Salt Spring Island. Stowel Lake Farm is a thriving organic farm, retreat center, and community, located on 100 acres of mixed forests, fields, rocky outcrops and rolling hills. The food, the facilities and the land are an exceptional venue to meet all the right elements of retreat. 

Investigate movement that arises from being in a process of relating. Dance with ancestors, place, culture and your bodies remembering. Experience aliveness as a practice of connection and love.

Join us for 4 days to engage in practice with community on beautiful land.  

Through movement, meditation and integration, we enter a community research project, a creative process that exists in the body and is in collaboration with the land. We move together with wind, sand, stars and sky. 

This retreat is in the spirit of Zen, Buddhism, and tending to the body with love. It will be about the simple treasures of practice. Beautifully bare bones. Our time together will be a blend of traditional yoga practice, silence, stillness, connection, breath, sound, the ground and deep rest. Together we are gently resurrecting bodies of goodness. 

Another Ocean is a somatic movement and meditation class, an experience, a gathering and a circle.
We practice listening to be moved from within. Somatic prompts are offered to inspire movement explorations that invite an opening to new places of responsivity.

You are invited to join Suniti and Rebecca for a 2-day dive into being with what is.

In Body of Relating we move through a soft form that includes meditation, movement, and discussion. Class is informed and created through the contact with the group. In collaboration we give rise to the aliveness of what emerges.

Join Melissa and Suniti on a vacation retreat in Costa Rica, where we will seek to awaken and investigate new ways of inhabiting the body.

This is us being nimble and flexible and pushing up through the cracks because we lean into resource and our nervous systems need this in ways that are not possible to say or feel in words, and that is exactly why we move our bodies and dance.

In this 3-week series we build on our resourcing practices to connect us to our ancient, elemental bodies, to truly connect to a body of relating. When we are resourced we expand our capacity to be here and to move into creative action.
