This blended, beginner-friendly class begins with a mindful Yin sequence to open the body by stretching the fascia. Then we transition to a mindful Gentle Somatic Yoga Flow to release physical and mental tension. 

This class takes a whole-body approach to self-healing blending somatic movements and yin yoga. Each class will be designed to help relieve or dissolve persistent pain conditions, significantly improve flexibility and posture, and reduce or eliminate muscle stiffness while aiding in repatterning the brain-to-muscle connection for longer-lasting results. 

By participating regularly in somatic movement you will boost your overall health, vitality, and well-being while building a loving, compassionate, and trusting relationship with your body. Our sequence will close with a return to the ground for rest in restorative yoga.

Anna has over 20 years of experience and is a trauma-informed Yoga and Mindfulness Instructor who will gently guide you through the practice in a safe, non-judgmental space for you to fully get the benefits of the movement. Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Mat and props are available at Redwood Studio, but feel free to bring your own mat, and/or blocks to use. Beginner friendly.

A deeply relaxing and immersive experience where you're bathed in soothing sounds from crystal bowls. Designed to promote stress relief, and the inner peace that is created when we can fully step out of our stress response and partner with our parasympathetic nervous system to release tension.

During this sound bath we will integrate a few restorative postures at the beginning to release tension in the body, then you'll lie down comfortably while the instructor plays crystal singing bowls. These crystal bowls create a symphony of sounds that wash over you, promoting deep relaxation and a sense of calm. The pure tones and vibrations invite the mind into a relaxed, meditative state that can improve mood, ease physical tension, and “tune-up” your nervous system.

The sound waves coming from the singing bowls slow your brain waves to help you reach a deep meditative state. Sound healing is a non-invasive, ancient, and newly re-emerging holistic therapy used to treat physical, mental, and emotional dis-ease of all types. 

Treat yourself to this soothing, restorative offering. For an extra relaxing experience and retreat-like morning you may sign-up for the Restore and Release class held from 9:00 to 10:00. Whether you opt for both classes or only attend the Sound Bath you will leave the studio feeling restored and ready to relax for the weekend.

We encourage you to dress comfortably. Yoga mats, bolsters, and blocks are provided but feel free to bring your own. 

Beginner-friendly, no meditation or sound bath experience is required.

Are you craving a supportive community of heart-centered entrepreneurs who truly understand the journey of building a small business? Join Anna from Intentional Living the first Tuesday of every month for an uplifting and supportive Business Mastermind with other small business owners in the area.

During our time together we will take time to unpack what’s working (and what’s not), and explore the next steps to grow your business with intention and heart. We will take time to pause, reflect, reconnect with our big visions and learn from others who are navigating a similar entrepreneurial path to save time and frustration when working on your own business. 

Come as you are and be supported by a community that understands the joys and challenges of running a solo business. This isn’t just about strategy and networking; it’s also about connection, collaboration, and cheering each other on.

Our time together will officially last an hour, but you’re invited to stay an additional 30 minutes to socialize, network, or even get some work done in the company of inspiring entrepreneurs.

This offering is donation-based, so you can contribute what feels right for you. Whether you’re just starting out or have been on this journey for a while, you’re welcome to join us.

A little bit about Anna:

Anna has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. From a young age she sold lemonade at garage sales, raised money to go to Paris with her high school and opened her first business, a coffee cart in downtown Santa Fe, NM, at the age of 18. She became a serial entrepreneur running and owning multiple small businesses throughout her 20’s until she landed in one that not only aligned her interest in business but also fed her heart’s desire of making a difference. She began her Life Coaching business in 2005 which fed her aspirations to build a business and desire to support others. Though the path has been anything but straight, she now runs two businesses and loves supporting other entrepreneurs to find their success path both in life and in business.

Anna invites you to step out of isolation and into a circle of support. Grow your business with grounded intention coupled with strategy, curiosity and action. 

Fully customizable private or semi-private (up to 5 people) one-hour yoga session. Contact Anna at 734-358-6750 to schedule your session.
