Imbolc Purification Ceremony
Sunday, February 2, 2025 from 1:00p - 3:00p
Celebrate Imbolc Purification, the celebration of the coming of spring and the honoring of Saint Brigid. Brigid is known as the goddess of fertility, birth, and abundance in Celtic and Christian traditions. Join Savannah in honoring Brigid and all that she represents. Savannah will first do a purification ritual to dispel any blockages that keep us from receiving what we deserve. We will then make Brigid dolls and continue with the ritual to bring in abundance. Please come with an intention in mind. What would you like to attract into your life as we prepare for the coming spring equinox?
After our ceremony, Savannah will facilitate eight asanas intended to open the chakras and further release the blockages we processed together during our ceremony. All levels of experience are welcome.
Ostara Yin and Yang Ceremony
Thursday, March 20, 2025 from 6:00p - 8:00p
Celebrate Ostara, the Spring Equinox, honoring new beginningss with a balancing Yin-Yang Ceremony. As the dark winter embarks on its journey into spring, we must honor the light and dark within us all. Join Savannah in exploring our personal values and how duality has shaped who we are today. We will then utilize our values in a yin-yang ritual.
The ceremony will be followed by four Sun Salutations and a slow moon sequence flow. This class is intended to integrate the Yin and Yang Ceremony but is beneficial to anyone who needs a little more balance in their lives. All levels of experience are welcome.
Full Moon Shadow Ceremony
Saturday, April 12, 2025 from 11:00a - 1:00p
The full Moon is a time to be receptive, to take the light and awareness of spirit into our
emotional and physical bodies. Join Savannah Woodard for a Reiki shadow ceremony. During this shadow ceremony, the group will reflect on how power and control dynamics show up in our closest relationships. These relationship dynamics are often part of our “shadow-self” or what we have repressed. She will then do a group Reiki ceremony to integrate the shadow part.
Join Savannah in doing eight asanas intended to break through the darkness. We will first calm the mind with pranayama and then move into a deeply restorative practice. Restorative yoga is intended to be simple and slow. Because of this particular intention, restorative yoga classes often differ from most yoga classes. We will utilize props, breath, and deep meditative states to permit our bodies to relax and truly restore. All levels of experience are welcome.
Beltane Manifestation Ceremony
Thursday, May 1, 2025 from 6:00p - 8:00p
Join Savannah Woodard in building an intention for manifestation. We will reflect on what we need to manifest most during this time. Together, the group will discuss our lives' limitless potential and discover what the universe can provide. In Celtic tradition, Beltane is a time to celebrate the peak of spring and the beginning of summer and abundance. Join Savannah in utilizing intention and ritual to manifest what your heart desires. As a group, we will create a “May Basket” and fill it with your desires. Savannah will provide a few items to put into the May baskets, but if you have a small item that represents what you’re manifesting, you’re welcome to bring it to the class.
Join Savannah for a high-energy vinyasa and tai chi flow to initiate the movement of chi in your body. There will be modifications to accommodate all levels of yoga experience. When we move stagnant energy, there is more space for “the new” to come in. All levels of experience are welcome.
Litha Fire Ceremony
Saturday, June 21, 2025 from 11:00a - 1:00p
Join Savannah Woodard in honoring the Summer Solstice through community and sacred ceremonies. First, enjoy a Ceremonial-Grade Cacao Ceremony intended to open your heart chakra and soothe your central nervous system. Afterwards, Savannah will facilitate a common Litha, one of the eight pagan sabbats, fire ritual with the group to transform fear into positive action.
Once the fire ritual is completed, Savannah will guide you through multiple heart-opening asanas to integrate all that we worked through. She will then guide the group through a transformative heart-centered pranayama exercise. You are welcome to bring your own mat or use one that we provide. All levels of yoga experience are welcome.
Full Moon Integration Ceremony
Thursday, July 10, 2025 from 6:00p - 8:00p
Join Savannah Woodard in honoring the full moon with an integration ceremony. This full moon is in Capricorn, which represents stability, consistency, and strength—all key elements in the integration process. Savannah will guide the group through a self-awareness exercise intended to strengthen a person's connection to the physical and spiritual world. Savannah will then facilitate a ritual intended to ground and integrate the major life lessons that we have learned.
After the ceremony, join Savannah for a high-energy vinyasa and tai chi flow to initiate the movement of chi in your body. There will be modifications to accommodate all levels of yoga experience. When we move stagnant energy, there is more space for integration and alignment. All levels of experience are welcome.
Harvest Celebration Ceremony
Friday, August 1, 2025 from 6:00p - 8:00p
In both Celtic and Christian traditions, August 1 is a day to feast and spend time with loved ones. Join Savannah Woodard in reflecting on what we value most in our lives and how to feed those values and eventually harvest their bounty. Savannah will facilitate a celebration ritual to further express our gratitude for all that we have to be grateful for. As a group, we will perform an apple celebration ceremony to honor those who have positively impacted us.
After the celebration ritual, Savannah will guide you through multiple grounding asanas that promote personal growth and self-awareness. She will finish the practice with a grounding meditation. All levels of experience are welcome.
Mabon Fall Equinox Archangel Ceremony
Sunday, September 21, 2025 from 11:00a - 1:00p
Join Savannah Woodard in utilizing the power of the Archangels to honor the earth and all that she provides. Mabon, the fall equinox, is a time for introspection. Many cultures believe that this is a time to slow down and go within in preparation for the darker months ahead. In Christianity and New Age Philosophy, the Archangels are considered messengers of God. As a group, we will communicate with the Archangels to further our knowledge of our purpose and how to implement it in our daily lives.
After the Archangel ceremony, Savannah will guide the group through two sets of four asanas intended to establish a deeper connection to our ancestors and guides. She will finish the practice with a meditation intended to connect us to the earth's magnetic grid. All levels of experience are welcome.
