Hot Stone Restorative Yoga
Where doing nothing is the point.
with Linda Schnabel & Melanie Gainforth
Time: 10:00am to 11:30am
Dates: May 3 and May 31
Sink into deep rest with this slow, meditative practice designed to calm the nervous system, release tension, and gently restore balance. Fully supported restorative poses are paired with the comforting warmth of smooth, heated stones placed on the body, allowing muscles to soften, stress to melt away, and the mind to settle into stillness. With minimal movement, intentional breath, and long-held poses supported by bolsters and blankets, this class offers a rare opportunity for true, uninterrupted rest.
This nurturing experience can help reduce stress, ease chronic tension and everyday aches, improve circulation, and support better sleep while encouraging emotional grounding and a deep sense of calm and safety. Ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or in need of gentle care, Hot Stone Restorative Yoga requires no prior yoga experience—only a willingness to slow down and receive.
Space is limited to 10 participants so we can give each person lots of attention.
Come as you are. Leave restored.
Dress in comfortable layered clothing, bring your yoga mat and water bottle.
Cost: $50 includes HST for 90 minutes

Have you ever noticed the more you try to FORCE outcomes, relationships, feelings, energy, healing, etc. — the farther away you seem to be from the “desired” outcome?
In my life, I notice that when I am forcing things and holding tight, it is coming from a deep-seated place of anxiety and fear. Not only does the journey of this feel clunky, angsty, and rigid — the outcome never satisfies either.
However, when I lean into my breathwork practice and other supportive practices that connect me home to my inner peace, inner trust, and inner balance, my fear and my need to control subside. Subsequently, my ability to flow and trust brims with energy; my existence into the flow becomes alive and begins to move with grace into abundance.
Looking forward to breathing with YOU!
Grounded Dads
with Clint Gore and Nathan Sagle
Starts Tuesday, March 25
Weekly for 6 weeks – if interested can contact even after program started
We guide men through a six-week journey that includes mindfulness, breathwork and meditation, walking conversations, fitness, yoga, reflection, and shared experience. The goal isn’t transformation overnight—it’s creating space, awareness, and connection that lasts long after the program ends.
And then, at the very end, we ask them to step completely out of their comfort zone. A cold plunge. Not as a test of toughness, but as a practice in presence—learning to breathe, stay calm, and choose awareness when everything in the body wants to resist. It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t come from avoiding discomfort, but from meeting it with intention.
