The River Within is a gentle, flowing movement practice designed to support the lymphatic and glymphatic systems—the body’s natural rivers of cleansing, nourishment, and renewal.

In this monthly offering, we’ll explore simple yet powerful ways to encourage circulation and restore the body’s natural flow. Through a blend of self-massage, breathwork, yoga, and deep relaxation, this class invites both movement and rest to help stimulate lymphatic flow, release stagnation, and calm the nervous system.

Each session weaves together education and embodied experience, gradually building a toolkit of practices you can take home to support immunity, brain health, and overall vitality. Together, we’ll move, breathe, and rest in ways that honor the body’s innate intelligence and subtle rhythms.

As the class is limited to a maximum of 8 students, pre-registration is required.

Aging is a natural transition that invites us to cultivate wisdom, adaptability, and compassionate self-care. In Ayurveda, the years after age 50 are associated with the Vata stage of life—a time when qualities such as mobility, creativity, sensitivity, and change become more pronounced. As we also move into the autumn season, another Vata time of year, we can benefit from practices that promote grounding, nourishment, stability, and ease.

In this 90-minute workshop, we'll weave together therapeutic yoga, breathwork, gentle movement, restorative practices, and Ayurvedic wisdom to support healthy aging and seasonal balance. Together, we'll explore practices to calm the nervous system, maintain mobility and strength, support joint health, and cultivate greater vitality and well-being.

This workshop is suitable for all levels and is especially beneficial for adults seeking mindful, evidence-informed practices for longevity, resilience, and graceful aging.
