Lotus Pond Center for Yoga and Health

Unexpected Studio Closure on Sunday, June 7 for septic tank repair.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please check out the schedule for other classes and special events to enjoy soon!

Join Pam Velez tomorrow evening for Yoga Nidra Meditation, a deeply meditative practice designed to help the body soften and the mind settle.

We’ll begin with gentle movement, then ease into Yoga Nidra, where there is nothing to do but lie down, listen, and rest.

We have all the props you need, even mats here at the studio. This a beginner friendly meditation practice.

What happens when you pause long enough to actually listen?
To you breath, to vibration, to the subtle ways sound can soften and steady the mind.

Join us for a donation-based pranayama & sound experience with Kranti Kalepally as we explore the calming and connective practices of Bhramari and Sheetali pranayama.

Through breath, sound, vibration, and focused awareness, this practice invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience the resonance of presence within yourself and within community.

Kranti’s teaching is deeply rooted in the Shri T. Krishnamacharya lineage, Vedic chanting, and the integration of breath, body, and mindful attention. Her approach is gentle, grounded, and rooted in sincere exploration.

Questions the practice may invite:
• How do I listen to myself?
• What is my relationship with my breath?
• Can sound become a pathway toward stillness and loving kindness?

YTT students at Lotus Pond Yoga can receive 1.5 (TTP) credits with written reflection.
