GRACEFUL TRANSITIONS: NAVIGATING PERIMENOPAUSE + MENOPAUSE THROUGH AYURVEDA
with Rina Kansagra + Hana Kai Bowers
In Studio Only
Sunday, May 24 | 2:00 - 4:00pm
Perimenopause and menopause mark a natural transition in a woman’s life, yet for many, this stage can feel anything but easeful. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these changes are not simply hormonal - they reflect deeper shifts in the body’s internal balance. When we understand and work with these shifts - rather than resist them - this transition can unfold with far greater ease.
In this workshop, we’ll explore how Ayurveda understands this transition and why common symptoms arise. You’ll learn how to support your body through simple, practical shifts in daily routine, diet, and lifestyle - helping to restore balance and move through this phase with greater ease and clarity.
We’ll close with a short, guided somatic practice incorporating breath, gentle movement, and meditation to help you connect more deeply with your body and leave feeling grounded and supported - a simple sequence that you can continue at home.
THERAPEUTIC BREATHWORK WORKSHOP
with Lauren Morlock
In Studio Only
Sunday, May 24 | 5:30 - 7:00pm
Therapeutic Breathwork, or Conscious Connected Breathing is a practice developed to bring about deep change. By facilitating movement through the different kinds of repression that limit our ability to fully experience life; breathwork works to identify and integrate both the physical and psychic parts of ourselves. Modern trauma research confirms that repression lives in the body, on a deep level, sometimes hard to find; even in the most dedicated efforts to diagnose and treat.
This style of Breathwork is akin to holotropic breathing; holotropic meaning “moving towards wholeness”. It is an active meditation, with the breath, that brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. In a cyclic, slightly-faster-than-normal-paced breathing pattern, we breathe to a set of curated musical accompaniment that supports and augments the experience.Therapeutic Breathwork is an effective and powerful tool for exploring ourselves; traversing the emotional, physical, and energetic bodies. This conscious practice allows what may be buried in the psyche, or embedded within the structure of the body, to arise and be processed in a safe and supportive container. It allows us to be in our bodies; held in a space of radical presence and Self-nurturing.
Oftentimes we are left feeling lighter, spacious, grounded and aligned after the session. Breathwork is a powerful and accessible tool for those of us who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, substance use, pain, grief, trauma, insomnia, and more. It is also a great tool for encountering the Self, ever-more intimately, while building self-love, agency, and empowerment. I’ve experienced Breathwork transform many lives, as it has my own.

RASIKA KIRTAN
with Annie Moon + guest musicians
In Studio Only
*next date TBA
To be a Rasika is to be one whom can taste Rasa. Rasa is the mystical nectar of life's beauty that is perceived through observing the arts. In other words, we can enter into a state of divinity through the presence of artistic offerings and by an increased sensitivity to our own personal receptivity.
Please join Annie Moon and special guest musicians on the first Sunday of the month (December 7) for a night of Kirtan at Yoga Source! Kirtan is the practice of Bhakti Yoga, an Indian temple tradition of call and response chanting. This is where we come together to sing the ancient Sanskrit mantras with repetition with group participation. Together we can dissolve into the infinite body of sound by letting our voices ring out in exploration of presence & consciousness. All are welcome! No prior experience is needed.
