What is a teachers' sangha? A space for yoga teachers to come together on a regular basis to meet, connect, share, listen, and even practice with one another. It can be hard to find time and space to connect with other yoga teachers and share openly questions, issues, highlights, wonders about teaching and sharing this practice of yoga. This teachers' sangha is a space we can each shape to meet our unique needs as yoga teachers.

Come for community, connection, and collaboration!

This class is an invitation to slow down, soften, and come home to yourself. We begin by sipping ceremonial cacao—an ancient plant medicine known for gently opening the heart and grounding the body. As the cacao warms you from the inside, we’ll set an intention rooted in compassion, presence, and rest. The practice that follows is a deeply nourishing restorative flow. Postures are fully supported with props and held for longer periods, allowing the nervous system to unwind and the body to release without effort. Movement is minimal and mindful, guided by breath and subtle sensation rather than strength or flexibility. This is a practice of being, not doing. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to receive. You’ll leave feeling grounded, open-hearted, and deeply restored. Cacao sustainably sourced in Peru by the instructor, who holds a deep connection to the land and her people.

Join us every fourth Friday for a cozy evening of tea and conversation about yogic philosophy (dharma).

This month's topic:

No knowledge of yoga history or philosophy necessary, this is a space to share authentically based on a central theme focused on spiritual wellness.

Free to join, please RSVP so we can prepare enough tea :)
