November 2, 2024 (Saturday) 11 am-1 pm - Samhain Bread Ceremony (Gluten-Free Option)
Celtic and Latino traditions believe that the veil between our world and those who have passed is thinnest this time of year. Samhain (pronounced sah-win) honors ancestors, the end of summer and harvest season. Festivals often also embrace the beginning of winter, which Celts associate with death. Join Savannah Woodard in honoring the cycle of life and death through ritual. This ritual intends to provide closure for those who have survived our loved one's passing and to honor those who have gone to the other side. Please feel free to bring a portrait or a small item that represents your loved one. Together, we will set an altar and “break bread” with those who have transitioned to the other side. $25
After the Bread Ceremony, Savannah will guide you through three Asanas intended to relieve grief and sorrow from the body. She will then guide you through three integrative asanas intended to restore joy and hope to participants. Feel free to bring your own yoga mat! Samhain Bread Ceremony $25 ...Asanas $20 ...

December 14, 2024 (Sunday) 12-2pm - Yule Full Moon Transmutation Ceremony
In many traditions, winter is seen as a time to go within and search for what no longer serves us. Celts honor yule as a time to turn the darkness of winter into a new beginning. As the darkest winter days form into more extended periods of light and eventually the spring sun, we begin to open to the coming spring. Christians associate this time with the birth of their savior, Jesus Christ. Metaphorically, this represents the rebirth of the dark into the light and, historically, the birth of a significant profit. Native Americans often connect the dark days of winter as a time to reflect on the interconnectedness we all share as living beings. Join Savannah in weaving these cultures' wisdom into a single Transmutation Ceremony.
After the transmutation ceremony, please join Savannah Woodard for three fire asanas and “breath of fire” to burn what no longer serves us. Following the fire exercises, we will do three restorative asanas to integrate our internal flame with the cooling elements of bilateral movement and breath.

January 12, 2025 (Sunday) 1-3 pm - Full moon in Cancer Restoration Ceremony
Join Savannah Woodard in exploring the aspects of ourselves lost due to the lack of restoration in our lives and society. We will honor those lost parts of ourselves and encourage them to revitalize through the energy of this month's full moon in Cancer. Cancer represents home, family, and our foundations. This zodiac sign is also based on the moon, emotions, and femininity. Together, we will explore our feminine aspects of self and their importance in longevity and stability. Savannah will facilitate a ceremony that allows us to embody our inner divine feminine through restorative practice and intention.
After the restoration ceremony, Savannah will guide the group through four slow-flowing rounds of moon salutations. The moon salutation, known in Sanskrit as Chandra namaskara, is a series of poses performed in a particular sequence to create a cooling and flowing movement. These salutations are intended to restore and empower those who perform them. Restoration Ceremony $25... Asanas $20 ...Ceremony and Asana $40
