A legacy of joy, a powerful new series, and one more chance to say yes

This past weekend, we went to a birthday party for a beloved friend who just turned 70.
It wasn’t flashy. But it was one of the most beautiful gatherings I’ve been part of.

There were babies and 80-year-olds. Photos from every season of her life.
And in every image, one thing was constant: love.
Love for the ocean. Love for the wind in her hair. Love for the people around her.

And in the room, it was the same.
You could feel it in the way she looked you in the eye. Held your hand. Asked about your life like it mattered.
Her legacy isn’t just what she’s done—it’s how she’s done it. With joy. With presence. With care.

It made me think about the spaces we’re building.
The ways we want people to feel here.
And how much we believe in a kind of joy that doesn’t skip over the hard stuff—but moves with it.

That’s what we’re holding space for.
And we’re so grateful to do it with you.

Here’s what’s inside this week:

  • Rooted to Radiant: New Chakra Yoga + Sound Series

  • Move & Make: Mindful Art + Yoga on Jan 31

  • Final call for Teacher Training (begins Friday)

  • Greece Retreat Q&A: The Mamma Mia tour

🧘‍♀️ Yoga Teacher Training Begins This Friday

This is a big decision—and we’re here to support you.

Our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is rooted in functional movement and trauma-informed teaching.
That means this space is intentionally designed to be safe, steady, and deeply personal.

  • Consent over correction

  • Curiosity over performance

  • Presence over perfection

You’ll learn to teach in a way that respects every body—and helps you understand your own with more clarity and care.

We also want to make this feel doable.

If cost is the barrier, here’s one option that might help:
You can use PayPal’s 24-month payment plan to join for around $125/month, with no interest (depending on credit).
No penalty for paying early. No need for everything to feel “perfectly timed.”

And yes—there is still space.
And no—you’re not too late.

If it helps to talk it through, just reply here. We’re happy to walk you through the options.

🌊 Greece Retreat Q&A: The Mamma Mia Tour

Yes—we really do take a Mamma Mia tour.
And it’s just one of the beautiful adventures we’ll share together.

Included in your retreat experience:

  • A tour of Mamma Mia filming locations

  • Agios Ioannis chapel (the cliffside “wedding” church)

  • West-coast beaches like Kastani, featured in the movie

  • Time to take it in—photos, ocean views, slow wonder

It’s woven into a week of shared rhythm: daily yoga, walking tours, and a sailing trip—all included. No surprise add-ons. No separate bookings.

You don’t have to manage the logistics.
You just get to show up, move, laugh, and experience it—together.

If you’ve already started your new year rhythm with us—thank you. We feel it.
And if you’re still finding your way in, there’s space for you here. Always.

See you on the mat,
Nicole and Teresa
