Holding the Postpartum: Blessing & Closing of the Bones 🤍
Friday, May 15 | 2:00–5:00 PM
At Gaia Yoga

We’re honored to offer a space to be held in the postpartum threshold—through ritual, rest, and community.

This gathering includes elements of blessing and closing of the bones, a traditional practice that supports integration, warmth, and gentle reconstitution of body and psyche.

Open to anyone within the postpartum continuum, including after birth, abortion, or pregnancy loss. We honor postpartum as an evolving, ongoing experience.
Come as you are. Be witnessed. Be held.

Held by a collective of 7 East Bay–based doulas: Sannaz Keyhani, Shelby Stewart, Danielle Schell, Mika Cade, Daniella Morales, Veida Bassam, and Shilpa Dutta

Saturday, May 23th, 2026 | 9:30am–3:00pm

Perimenopause isn’t a decline — it’s an initiation.
A powerful, intelligent, meaningful transition in the life of the body.

• Gentle somatic movement + grounding yoga
• Breathwork for hot flashes, stress & sleep
• Journaling to reclaim identity & power
• Restorative rest + Yoga Nidra for deep repair
• A nourishing community lunch + tea ritual

Leave with clarity, support, and a renewed sense of trust in your own becoming.

✨ Monthly Community Sound Bath ✨
🗓 Saturday, March 14, 2026
⏰ 6:00–7:00 PM
📍 Gaia Yoga | 855 Marina Bay Parkway, Suite 28, Richmond, CA

Allow your nervous system to rest and reset in a soothing, candlelit sound bath.

We’ll begin with a gentle guided meditation to help you settle in, then move into a deeply immersive sound journey featuring ocean wave drum, crystal singing bowls, and Koshi chimes.

A sound bath is a full-body listening experience — where you are “bathed” in sound, with love and care. The vibrations help quiet the mind, relax the body, and invite your system into a state of deep restoration and healing.

No experience needed. You are welcome exactly as you are. 🤍

Please wear cozy, comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket, and anything else you need to feel warm and supported. We also have mats and blankets available at the studio.

Spots are limited.
