This 1 hour class is a gentle, calming reset at the end of the month — the perfect way to slow down, unwind, and care for both your body and your nervous system. Ashley will guide you through a restorative Yin practice paired with soothing aromatherapy, mindful breath work, and a cozy studio atmosphere.
Instead of a class fee, we’re asking all participants to bring ONE or BOTH of the following:
• Non-perishable food items
• A new, unwrapped gift for their Holiday Gift Program
Most needed food items:
Oatmeal · Canned vegetables · Nut butter · Canned fruits · Canned tomatoes · Canned fish
Your donations go directly to supporting families right here in our neighbourhood — and every single item truly makes a difference.
