Ready to take your backbend practice beyond the pose?  Join Kirstin for The Backbend Blueprint; an opportunity to explore the why behind the bend.   You will build a deeper understanding of spinal and core anatomy, postural foundations, and the mechanics that make heart-opening postures feel more integrated and accessible.  You will also explore the three planes of spinal movement, unpack the intention behind common cues, and discover how to translate those cues into meaningful sensations in your own body.  Through thoughtful movement, prop exploration, and somatic awareness, you’ll begin to see how foundational, intermediate, and advanced backbends connect, mirror, and build upon one another.

You are invited to join us for a special evening of connection, reflection and sisterhood through Kindred Collective, a heart-centered women's circle celebrating the beauty, strength and shared wisdom of womanhood.  As we approach the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year and a time of returning light, we will gather to slow down, turn inward and honour the beautiful opportunity of new beginnings. Through guided meditation and reflection, you'll be invited to gently release what no longer serves you, make peace with what has been, and open your heart to the dreams, intentions and possibilities you wish to welcome in the year ahead.

Imagine escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life and slipping into an experience designed for complete surrender.  We have curated a unique fusion of modalities where restorative yoga meets therapeutic massage!  This experience will take you beyond the traditional restorative yoga class.  As you settle into a fortress of soft bolsters and cozy blankets, professional massage therapists will circulate the room to provide targeted therapeutic massage in every pose.  It is a choreographed descent into deep nervous system repair, where the gentle pressure of a palm on your shoulder or a rhythmic kneading of the neck invites your fascia to let go in ways that gravity alone cannot achieve.

Imagine settling into a long, supported Yin Yoga pose while our very own community member, Hugo Huynh, a classically trained concert pianist performs a live, specially curated score that seems to breathe right along with you.  In this unique fusion event, the slow, meditative stretches of Yin Yoga invite deep relaxation and gentle release within the connective tissues, while the refined touch of Hugo’s accompaniment adds an emotional resonance that helps participants drop even further into stillness.  The music provides a subtle guide for the nervous system, enhancing focus, lowering tension, and encouraging a spacious, contemplative inner state.  Meanwhile, the yoga practice, led by Leanna Lutsch, creates a receptive environment in which the nuances of classical performance can be felt more vividly, each note landing as a physical sensation as much as a sound.  Participants often describe the experience as immersive and transportive, a harmonizing of body, mind, and art that leaves them grounded, open, and quietly renewed.
