Highly recommend this!!

Let's talk about balance, and how yours is - and how tai chi can help improve it!

📍Saturday, August 8, 1-2:30pm
📍Bowman Library, 871 Tasker Rd Stephens City VA

As we age, our proprioceptive system tends to get less input, which affects our overall sense of balance. Our muscles can also become tighter and more restricted, which also impacts our balance. Tai Chi is uniquely suited to help rebalance the body, internally and externally. This FREE workshop will give you information, actionable tips, and the movement experience to help regain your sense of dynamic balance and equilibrium. ☯️❤️🧘

Return to Yourself

Breathe • Release • Renew

There comes a season in every woman’s life when she’s called to slow down.

Whether you’re navigating changing hormones, shifting priorities, caring for others, or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, this day is an invitation to pause.

Join us for an intimate autumn retreat designed to support women through life’s transitions with gentle movement, meaningful connection, nourishing food, and intentional rest.

We’ll begin with a seasonal Meridian Yoga practice inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, incorporating breathwork, acupressure, and gentle tapping to support the energy of autumn—a season of breathing deeply, letting go, and creating space for what comes next.

From there, the day unfolds with ease. Enjoy quiet moments to journal, walk, read, sip tea, or simply rest. Receive the healing vibrations of a restorative sound bath, gather in an authentic women’s circle, and close the day around the fire as we honor what we’re ready to release and the intentions we’re carrying forward.

Throughout the day you’ll enjoy:

* Seasonal Meridian Yoga
* Breathwork, acupressure, and tapping
* Restorative sound bath
* Quiet time for reflection and rest
* Guided women’s circle
* Closing fire ceremony
* Welcome refreshments
* Farm-to-table inspired lunch
* Seasonal dinner

This retreat is for women who are ready to step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with their bodies, their breath, and themselves.

No yoga experience is necessary. Everything is offered with options so you can move in a way that feels supportive and accessible.

Leave feeling grounded, nourished, connected, and more like yourself.

Space is intentionally limited to create a warm and personal experience.

Investment:
Early Bird: $299 (by August 16th)
Regular Registration: $349

One full scholarship is available for a woman who would benefit from attending but for whom cost is a barrier. If you are interested in the scholarship, please message me. All inquiries will be private and never shared.

I wanted these photos to have a permanent spot on the page. Last night was a wonderful gathering of women. Some I’ve know for years and some that I just let last night. I didn’t photograph anyone. I was too present and didn’t even think about it. The drive home was also pretty great. I feel very blissed and blessed. 💛

I am so happy to announce that Monthly Women’s Wellness Workshops will be held at At-Ease Yoga.

The Menopause Wellness Circle is a monthly gathering for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Together we’ll explore evidence-informed topics that support healthy aging through yoga, movement, education, and meaningful community.

Each gathering includes a themed movement practice, practical education, discussion, and time to connect with other women in a welcoming, supportive environment. You’ll also receive a take-home yoga sequence and educational handouts so you can continue learning and practicing between sessions.

Series Details

When: Third Sunday of each month (September–January)
Time: 12:00–2:00 PM
Location: At-Ease Yoga Studio

You don’t have to be “in menopause” to belong here.

These gatherings are for women in perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause, and every stage in between. Midlife isn’t one single experience, and no two journeys look the same.

Whether you’re just beginning to notice changes, navigating hot flashes and sleepless nights, or you’ve moved beyond menopause and are focused on staying strong, mobile, and vibrant, there will be something here for you.

Each event is designed to offer practical tools you can actually use—through movement, education, meaningful conversation, nourishment, and time to reconnect with yourself.

You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to be “doing menopause right.”

Just come as you are.

I hope you’ll leave feeling a little stronger, a little more supported, and with something you can carry into your everyday life.

I am blown away by all the interest. Thank you so so so much!!

I would love your help!

As I plan upcoming events, I’d love to hear what you’re most excited about and what would best support you in this season of life.

Here’s what’s coming:

✨ Another Pool Yoga experience (possibly two!)—I’ll be sharing those this weekend.
✨ A monthly Women’s Circle + Workshop beginning in September. Info coming soon.

I’m also dreaming up retreats, and I’d love your input.

Which would you be more likely to attend?

🌿 A one-day local retreat (with an optional overnight stay)?
🌿 A full weekend retreat? (Approx 2 hours away)

I’d also love to know:
• What topics or experiences would you love to see?
• What would make you say, “I don’t want to miss this!”?

Your feedback will help me create experiences that truly meet your needs. Thank you for being part of this amazing community—I appreciate every comment!
