FALL EQUINOX RITUAL + FLOW
with Abby Dobbs
In Studio Only
Sunday, September 20 | 2:00-4:00pm
One of the most potent ways that we can empower ourselves is by grounding into the rhythms of nature. The Fall Equinox marks the moment when we begin to have shorter days and longer nights, progressing towards the darkness of winter. Traditionally, this energetic shift is a time to slow down and draw inwards. Together, we will honor the energy of release and letting go that is heralded by the Equinox.
Our circle will open with a discussion of the energetics of the Fall Equinox. Then, we will ground into the present moment, center into ourselves, and invoke the support of our guides and ancestors. We'll move through a yoga practice that will weave together pranayama, somatic movement, hatha flow, and guided visualization to connect you with your heart and spirit. Each person will have the opportunity to pull an Oracle Card and do some journaling to clarify their unique intention for the upcoming season.
Bring a journal, pen, and anything sacred to charge up on our communal altar.
THERAPEUTIC BREATHWORK WORKSHOP WITH LIVE MUSIC
with Lauren Morlock + Nate Weick
In Studio Only
Sunday, September 20 | 5:30 - 7:00pm
We are excited to announce that this month's Breathwork will be accompanied by LIVE MUSIC. Breathwork facilitator Lauren is collaborating with her partner, Nate, who is a lifelong musician and artist. Lauren and Nate have crafted a set to breathe with — featuring chimes, guitar, hand drum, djembe, shruti box, Native American flute, and hand pan.
Nate and Lauren love collaborating together and sharing their offerings with the community. Come feel the resonance of the instruments and the power of the breath — September 20 at Yogasource.
Therapeutic Breathwork, or Conscious Connected Breathing, is a transformative, music-supported active meditation that explores and integrates the physical, spiritual and emotional parts of ourselves. By quieting the thinking mind, this practice opens the pathway to presence, intuition, and inner knowing. Breathwork creates a supportive container where stored energy, trauma, and emotional tension can safely surface to begin to release, integrate, and metabolize. By listening to the body’s narrative, we can begin to heal.
Breathwork is a powerful and accessible tool for expanding our awareness and can be supportive for those of us who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, substance use, pain, grief, trauma, insomnia, and other challenges. It is also a great tool for cultivating self-love and empowerment.

MONTHLY POETRY CIRCLE
with Emily Hyland
In Studio - Upstairs Studio
Sundays: October 4, November 1, December 6, January 3…
2:00 - 3:30PM
Come as you are to this monthly drop-in poetry circle—no experience needed, just a willingness to listen, write, and share. Each session begins with a thoughtfully chosen poem to spark inspiration. You'll have quiet time for generative writing, followed by the option to share your words in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Much like we do in movement with asana and breath, this class, too, is a place to explore your voice, connect through language, and honor the creative process together.
HEALTHY HIPS: MOBILITY + STRENGTH
with Edie Tsong
In Studio + Livestream
remaining Sundays: October 11, November 1 | 2:00 - 3:45pm
We start on the ground with gentle somatic movements to hydrate and organize the fascia around the pelvis, and move into strengthening and supported standing asana with care for hip strength, balance, mobility, and length that contribute to joint and postural health. Each class explores a different aspect of the hips in relationship to the whole of the body.
Please note: If you purchase the pass for the full series, you will still need to register for each individual session.
CACAO + BREATHWORK | CACAO + SOUND
with Lauren Morlock + Nora Claire Sacks
In Studio - Upstairs Studio
Thursday, October 15
Cacao + Breathwork | 9:30-10:45am
Cacao + Sound | 4:00-5:15pm
Cacao + Breathwork
Lauren and Nora are thrilled to collaborate together with the medicines of cacao and breath. We will drop into a meditative awareness and resonance with these profound medicines allowing them to guide us in an exploration of self. Together we will attune to the subtle healing and wisdom that they both offer. This offering will be part guided cacao meditation, breathwork cycle, and a short teaching on Huaca Montegrande, the sacred ceremonial cacao site in Jaén, Peru. Come begin your day with the clarity of breath and ancestral grounding of cacao.
Cacao + Sound
Join Lauren and Nora for a nourishing cacao ritual with handmade cacao from Jaén, Peru. This revitalizing experience will guide you into a state of non-sleep deep rest, as song and sound-healing instruments help you soften into peace and contentment. If you are working through something in your life or find yourself at a threshold, this is an opportunity to invite the spirit of cacao to support and guide you, and it is often a very profound experience.
These offerings are a soft introduction to a new cacao project named Puma Cacao. Designed and handmade by Lauren, in collaboration with Deysi - a female cacao farmer and Huaca Montegrade - a sacred ceremonial cacao site in the high jungle of Jaén, Peru. Puma Cacao will support the preservation and study of this incredible sacred site. A percentage of all proceeds from sales and events go to Huaca Montegrande.
