Event Schedule:

11:30 AM – 12:22 PM: Arrival / Settle In
Ease into the space and prepare your mind and body for a transformative experience.

12:22 PM – 12:45 PM: Martial Arts Animal Flow
Instructor: Master Victor
Experience the world of Martial Arts Animal Flow, focusing on breath and mobility in this dynamic warm-up. Embrace the animal within you.

12:45 PM – 2:00 PM: Yin & Yang Yoga
Instructor: Ella
This class is designed to bring balance back into your body, and mind, through asana and breath. The first half of the class consists of a Yang, or an active sequence, to warm up the muscles, and lubricate the joints; while the second half of the class incorporates Yin postures, for deep stretches, and openings, to release, renew, and restore.

2:22 PM – 3:00 PM: Breathwork & Meditation
Facilitator: Master Victor
Explore the power of breath allowing your emotions and mind to clear. We then transition into a deep introspection to unlock inner peace and focus through guided meditation.

3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Yoga Nidra
Instructor: Ella
Yoga Nidra translates to ‘yogic sleep’ or deep rest, and relaxation. You will be guided through a body scan, along with the awareness of your breath, and any physical sensations present. While you may fall asleep, the intention is to be relaxed, yet awake and aware.
