Events
Yoga Haven's Book Club
Join Yoga Haven community member Nan Mutnick, along with Betsy, Dana, and other Yoga Haven community members for a bi-monthly book club on Thursday evenings. Through a lively conversation we'll have the opportunity to connect and reflect.
Candlelight Yoga Nidra + Sound Healing
Join Elise in our candlelit studio for gentle restorative postures, a guided yoga nidra practice and the tones of the crystal sound bowls. Yoga nidra, or "yogic sleep," is a guided meditation practice done lying down in savasana, designed to bring you to a place between sleep and wakefulness. Combined with the healing vibrations of the crystal sound bowls, this nervous system soothing practice may ease struggles with stress, insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, burnout and more. All levels welcome. Dress for comfort and bring additional cozy props like blankets, pillows and eye masks if you like!
Gathering With Grief
Grief is a natural, normal, human response to loss, and grief comes in all shapes and sizes. If you are experiencing grief of any kind, please know that you are not alone. In this monthly offering led by Emily, you will learn how grief affects the body and the mind, and how yoga helps to regulate the nervous system. Each session explores different tools to help you navigate your grief, including an active yoga practice, a softer yoga practice, pranayama breathing techniques, and guided meditations. We begin with tea and conversation, then spend about an hour caring for your grief through yoga and honoring who or what you have lost. Once you step into the room, everything is optional. Come as you are. There is a place for you here. Please note: this workshop is not a replacement for individual therapy and counseling.
Guided Meditation
Join Emily for her Guided Meditation Series! Begin with gentle movement, then settle into a comfortable position for Emily's calming guidance. Each 45-minute session covers a different meditation technique. Whether you're a seasoned meditator or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity to cultivate calm, clarity and inner peace.
