Rest & Reconnect : A Mid Weekend Yoga Meditation Workshop

Feel like you’re stuck in go mode?
Let’s hit pause together with this yoga & meditation workshop.

Rest & Reconnect is a 90-minute monthly yoga meditation workshop designed to help you slow down, ground yourself, and remember that you’re more than your to-do list. This yoga meditation workshop isn’t about fixing anything or becoming some better version of yourself. It’s about creating space to breathe and relate a little differently to the lovely stuff and the messy stuff.

In our fast-paced world, we often forget to pause and simply be present. This yoga meditation workshop offers a sanctuary from the constant demands of daily life, inviting you to step off the hamster wheel and reconnect with what truly matters. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply in need of some gentle guidance, this monthly gathering provides the perfect opportunity to reset and recharge.

Join this nurturing yoga meditation workshop where you might leave feeling more anchored, more awake, or just a little gentler toward yourself and the world around you. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to meet you exactly where you are, with no judgment or expectations—just compassionate space to explore what it means to be human in this beautiful, messy world.

What to expect:

  • Walking meditation to land in the moment
  • Restorative yoga to help your body release
  • Short talk + bite-sized practice ideas grounded in Buddhist wisdom and modern life
  • Guided meditation to reconnect with breath and body
  • Group discussion to chat, share, and connect (or just listen—no pressure)

The beauty of this yoga meditation workshop lies in its accessibility and gentle approach. No previous experience with meditation or yoga is required—just bring your curiosity and willingness to slow down.
