Shine on with Santosha’s Monthly Full Moon Chat & Meditation.

The Full Moon occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun, allowing the whole face of the moon to be illuminated and appear as a full circle. With the full moon’s energy at its peak, we can connect with this mystical energy and release what is no longer serving us, supercharge our intentions and goals, and feel more in sync with the earth’s natural cycle.

We’ll begin by highlighting the aspects of this month’s moon, followed by Yoga Nidra (guided sleep-based meditation) to release, relax and reset with new intentions. We’ll end with a few moments of personal journaling with prompts to capture and reflect on your experience. All under the light of the full moon.

Moonstone and Quartz Crystal are always a great choice when working with the moon. Allow your intention to penetrate into the stone/crystals so that you can draw from it through the next lunar cycle. Have your journal & pen as well as any of your favorite items with you during the meditation.

Come illuminate full circle with us.

Join Janie Ganga for perspective on how to practice yoga off the mat plus a full-length Yoga Nidra. First, we take about a half-hour to dive into the Wisdom of the yogis - both the ancient ones and some modern wisdom. We start with a “fortune cookie” - a quote, a practice, or a nugget of wisdom - as Ganga offers a short teaching and then facilitates an interactive conversation that lets us all learn from one another about how we might apply yoga to help us with our experiences of life. Next, you get supremely comfortable for a full-length Yoga Nidra. Take advantage of the virtual format - being in your own space at home so that you can use all the props that you need plus no need to drive anywhere afterward! As you let the body relax as fully as possible, the mind can relax, too. Yoga Nidra allows for healing at the deepest levels - and all you do is rest back and follow the guidance.

Are you ready to elevate your life and embrace your true purpose? Join Melissa Carvalho, M.A., RYT, Yoga Teacher, Author, and Life Purpose/Career Coach, in this 1.5-hour transformative workshop -- taught online, live via Zoom!

You will be nourished with 45 minutes of a sweet slow flow, breathing exercises, and powerful meditation practice. Then, enjoy an inspirational talk accompanied by experiential exercises that will help you uncover your life story and get clear on the sacred work you are here to do. The principles are based off of Melissa’s bestselling career development book, "Purpose Forward: The Ultimate Career Starter’s Guide to Finding A Life (And Career) of Purpose"!

The class is accessible to all, and beginners are encouraged to join. This is a safe space! You won’t want to miss it- grab a friend or two and register today! Registration closes Wed 9/25 at midnight.
