Workshops & Events
Spinal Release Yoga
Spinal Release Yoga is an accessible yet advanced approach to yoga: accessible because it’s gentle and highly adaptive, and advanced because it takes you directly towards yoga’s supreme purpose. This practice nourishes and releases tension in both the physical and subtle spine, which has a direct transformative effect on the nervous system and the mind.
You are profoundly nourished and supported in ways that allow blocked, hidden, and painful conditioning or physical injury that traces back through your past to open to new ways of being. SRY practice and teachings are not about effort or striving, but about release and revelation. What is revealed is the pure nectar that is the Self of the self.
New Moon Circle
Held on the Aries New Moon—a time associated with fire, courage, initiation, new beginnings, and action—this 2 hour experiential workshop invites you to step into a more embodied and aligned expression of your power.
We will be exploring what it means to be a warrior(ess) in today’s world, moving beyond the idea of the warrior(ess) as just a fighter, and instead working with three dimensions:
The Physical Warrior(ess): our body, our awareness and presence, our ability to move and respond, self-defense + combat skills
The Inner Warrior(ess): mindset, discipline, boundaries, emotional intelligence + mastery, nervous system regulation
The Shambhala Warrior(ess): In some traditions, the greatest warrior(ess) is not the one who fights, but the one who has the courage to see clearly and act with compassion, discernment, and integrity in a world that often pulls us into fear, distraction, or disconnection…One who is grounded, awakened, and sovereign…one who is guided by a deeper sense of purpose, and devoted to being a guardian and protector of the innocent, of life, of all that is sacred.
Beltane Bloom
Beltane marks the ancient threshold between spring and summer—a celebration of vitality, fertility, fire, and embodied aliveness. Traditionally, it honors the union of earth and sky, seed and soil, self and other. In this modern ritual, we translate that symbolism into the body: awakening circulation, clearing stagnation, and inviting life-force to move freely through our lymphatic and energetic pathways.
This gathering weaves folk tradition, somatic self-care, and lymphatic ritual into a grounded, sensual, reverent experience.
Scorpio Full Moon Circle
The Scorpio Full Moon brings to light your root truth, the feelings and desires hidden beneath the surface. Join us to learn about the astrological themes of this lunation and how you can co-create with the cosmic forces. Through embodied practices and energy work, you’ll realign with your instinctual knowing and reconnect with your body’s innate medicine.
All are welcome; please bring a journal or notebook and pen.

Full Moon Ceremony
Join Sarah Ziegler and Angela Haynie for an evening under February’s Snow Moon in Leo. This full moon circle blends gentle movement, tea & art ritual, and guided grounding touch to support you in listening to your needs without pressure to “get it right.”
The full moon is a powerful moment of culmination, illumination, and release. A time when emotions rise, truths surface, and clarity becomes unavoidable. The Snow Moon reminds us that stillness is not inactivity. Beneath frozen ground, life is quietly preparing for rebirth. This moon invites us to slow down, turn inward, and honor the unseen needs rising within ourselves. The full moon in Leo blends the quiet, introspective energy of the seasons with the bold, heart-centered fire of Leo, creating a unique opportunity to release what no longer serves you while reconnecting with confidence, creativity, and authentic self-expression.
REST: AcuDetox + Nidra + Sound Bath
We live in a society that does not value or center rest...so, we have to prioritize this ourselves.
Join for the first of a 3 part series: REST where you will be guided in a Yoga Nidra that includes story telling, as you receive a 5 point ear acupuncture protocol for your nervous system. We'll close with a sound bath that will include various instruments.
You simply just need to show up, lay down and receive the nourishment. Come as you are.

Full Moon Shamanic Drum Journey
We'll be celebrating the full Corn Moon by journeying to meet an Ancestor who wishes to show us a ritual they performed during the late-summer harvest. We'll make an offering and invite them to give us a teaching, or support us in whatever manner is most relevant/poignant to us right now in this season.
No matter what your lineage, everyone has Ancestors-- perhaps extending far back -- who honored this "Harvest Moon"!
I'll drum for the group and provide specific guidance on the shamanic journeys we'll perform together to meet and commune with our Ancestor.
No prior shamanic journeying experience is necessary, in fact this is a wonderful way to jump in!
Community Acupuncture + Sound Bath
Journey through the chakras with this 75-minute event combining guided meditation, community acupuncture, and sound bath to activate and align your chakras.
Acupuncture points act as energetic receptors, amplifying the healing vibrations of the tibetan singing bowls, which vibrate to a specific chakra frequency. Through a guided meditation and resonant sound, this practice promotes deep energetic release, cellular renewal, and inner balance. Awaken your body’s energy system and reconnect with your inner self.
