We’ll begin grounding together with a gentle yoga flow to awaken breath, presence, and connection inward. From there, the music rises and we transition into an activating dance journey. Through intuitive guidance and somatic cues by Tasha Rose, you’ll be invited to explore, release, and move in ways that feel honest and free. There is something deeply powerful that happens when women gather in a space devoted entirely to authentic expression, free from performance, comparison, or outside expectation. Wild:Her is an invitation to soften, unravel, take up space, be witnessed, and support one another in our fullness — wild, tender, fierce, playful, sensual, emotional, and alive. The DJ set weaves together downtempo, house, techno, and bass to awaken your most expressive self and guide the room through waves of liberation, connection, catharsis, and joy. As the energy crests, we’ll soften into a nourishing savasana to close the experience so participants leave feeling alive, grounded, open, and deeply connected to themselves and one another.
If your body still remembers the Macarena but your nervous system could use a little TLC, this class is for you. Groove is in the Heart is an all-levels Vinyasa Flow yoga and dance experience where Kate Leist and the legendary DJ Funksalot join forces to take you on a journey through your body, your breath, and your most beloved musical memories, set to the soundtrack of a decade we will never let go of. We ease in slow and low like a late night R&B slow jam, build into a groove that gets your heart pumping like Busta Rhymes on a double espresso, then Funksalot drops the beat and sends us into a full-on dance party where his gift is transporting you somewhere between a rapturous dance under a starlit sky and the best house party you ever went to. We close with deep rest and integration because even the dopest sets have to end, so bring your best Running Man and an open heart.
Kate creates safe and sacred spaces for others to come home to themselves through yoga, meditation, ritual, ceremony, and permission to feel, rest & receive. She values diving deep, being real, providing practical and applicable tools, and reminding herself and others to laugh and... Read More →
In a world that constantly asks us to move faster, do more, and stay connected to everything outside of ourselves, Root Down offers an opportunity to return inward. This 75-minute all-levels vinyasa flow invites you to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and cultivate a deeper sense of presence. Through intentional movement, mindful transitions, breathwork, and moments of reflection, we’ll explore what it means to ground down into our rooted energy amidst life’s constant changes. Inspired by the grounding energy of the mountains and the wisdom of nature, this practice encourages you to root deeply into the present moment so that you can move through life with greater clarity, resilience, and ease. Expect a balanced flow that builds strength, creates space in the body, and leaves you feeling centered, empowered, and connected to yourself. Come as you are. Root down. Drop In. Find your flow. Suitable for all levels. Flow to the soothing beats of EM3RSON. An immersive yoga and music experience where a live DJ crafts a carefully curated sound journey in real time to support the arc of the practice.

First timers and beginners welcome! Elevate your practice with this all-levels class that combines traditional yoga with the support of a single-point hammock. While you'll still use a mat, the hammock serves as a prop to enhance balance, alignment, and depth in familiar poses like utkatasana (chair pose) and Warrior III. Experience the joy and playfulness of stretching, swinging, inverting, and building strength, all while creating gentle traction along the spine. Whether you're supported or fully suspended, you'll flow through movements that deepen your connection to both your body and breath, with curiosity, a little humor, and a willingness to meet yourself exactly as you are. Finish with a blissful floating Savasana, complete with Jackie's live singing, designed to help you turn inward and reconnect with your own beautiful light, that deepest, most magical part of you.
