This 2 hour experiential workshop explores the powerful intersection of yoga and embodiment practices, offering tools to transform the way we show up—in our lives, relationships, and inner worlds.
Rooted in the intersection of Mindfulness, yogic philosophy, neuroscience, Buddhism, and Aikido, this training supports the cultivation of greater presence, authenticity, and resourcefulness. By working with yogic lines of energy alongside embodiment-based practices, participants are guided toward building trust more naturally, staying centered under pressure, and living with a deeper sense of purpose.
In this workshop, we will explore:
- How to remain open and centered in the face of uncertainty, challenges, or strong emotions
- Practices that support greater presence, inclusivity, and creativity in daily life
- How to step into a larger, more intentional vision for your life
- Tools for building trust—internally and interpersonally
- How to cultivate an engaging, and authentic presence with others
- The power of clarifying and declaring what you are truly committed to

Join Sheana for a deliciously grounding afternoon of Yin Yoga & Sound Healing to create harmony with the earth’s cycle of Winter
The wisdom of Winter invites us to go inward, to pause, and replenish. Yet we often continue to push against this natural cycle.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter is associated with the kidneys—our wellspring of vital energy (Qi). This season can challenge us with lower back tension, fatigue, and the emotional undertones of fear and insecurity.
Yin Yoga allows us to support the Kidney Meridian, preserving balance and replenishing our inner reserves for the burst of new life that Spring will bring.
During this 2-hour immersion you will experience:
– Yin Yoga to activate the Kidney and Bladder meridians, gently opening the back body and inner thighs
– Pranayama (breathwork) & meditation to create a sacred space for releasing deep-seated tension
– Psycho-spiritual inquiry, exploring limiting beliefs around fear that may be holding you back
– Restorative Yoga to allow the body to integrate the practice’s benefits fully
– Sound Healing to realign the nervous system with soothing vibrations, inviting a profound sense of inner peace
You’ll emerge feeling replenished, grounded, and ready to embrace Winter’s gifts with open arms.
All levels welcome.
Beginners welcome.

Join Sheana for a deliciously grounding afternoon of Yin Yoga to create harmony with the earth’s cycle of Autumn
According to Chinese Medicine, Autumn is a time to harvest our energies after the Summer growth cycle.
This workshop offers practices aligned with Autumn’s sacred invitation to pause, reflect, and turn inward — to attune to the quiet wisdom within and honor the soul’s longing to slow down and simply be. When the energy of the Autumn body is out of balance, we may feel waves of grief, lingering sadness, or resistance to letting go. In balance, however, this season brings a deep sense of presence, emotional resilience, and the spacious breath needed to move gradually through life’s transitions.
This 2 hour mini-retreat includes:
– Yin yoga sequences lovingly curated to support the Lungs in Autumn
– Inviting release, deeper breath, and the graceful letting go that mirrors the season’s rhythm
– Guided pranayama (breathwork) & meditation
– Psycho-spiritual inquiry to reveal where you might be holding on and to explore letting go in your life
-Restorative yoga to allow the body to metabolize the benefits of this deep practice
-Sound Healing to offer vibrational frequencies that induce deep relaxation, helping to release stress and tension
Let’s set intention together for the Autumn. You’ll emerge feeling grounded and ready to embrace all that the Season of Harvest has to offer.
All levels welcome..
