slow down saturday with kelsey lyons

Saturday | June 8 | 2–4pm | $60

Slow Down Saturday offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle of everyday life, inviting you to embrace the serenity and simplicity of being present in the moment.

Your experience commences with a cocoa ceremony, a grounding ritual known for fostering connection and inner peace. This sets the tone for a gentle transition into a restorative yoga session, where you'll be guided through nurturing poses designed to release physical and mental tension. This practice is intertwined with Reiki, a form of energy healing, enhancing the experience with a sense of balance and wellbeing.

The afternoon culminates in an extended savasana, a restful yoga pose often referred to as the “corpse pose.” During this time, the calming effects of Reiki are further infused, deepening your state of relaxation. This final stage is an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in tranquility, allowing the day's practices to integrate and leave you refreshed and centered.

Spaces are limited.
