FIRST FRIDAYS: 6:00 - 7:30 PM

NEXT SESSION - September 6th

Y12SR (Yoga for 12 Step Recovery) blends the practical tools of the 12 step programs with the ancient wisdom of yoga. This class is a 12 step based discussion and yoga practice that is open to anyone and everyone dealing with their own addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behavior of others.

The 12-step program approaches addiction at a cognitive level; yoga includes a somatic approach. This combination recognizes that yoga is part of a holistic recovery program and provides tools to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction.

This is an open and inclusive group - all A's are welcome. Wear comfortable clothing.

Resilient Recovery Circles

with Yoga Therapists & Somatic Practitioners Chelsea Rappel & Beth Foley

Every 3rd Friday of the Month -

From 7 - 8:15 PM | In-Person & Livestream

$25 with a sliding scale option

We have found a huge gap in the recovery space – a supportive community that’s focused on the somatic aspect of sober living.

If you are on a recovery journey and want to feel more ease and freedom in your body, join us to…

• Understand why your body is the missing link to sustainable change

• Build capacity to navigate your emotions with confidence and compassion

• Reclaim personal agency in your body and experience freedom from unwanted behaviors

• Learn practical somatic tools to self-regulate and soothe discomfort naturally

• Receive support and co-regulate with like-minded community

We recognize all forms of addiction when we use the term “in recovery,” and intend for these groups to be fully inclusive. As long as you are interested in reconnecting with and deepening connection to your body, we would love to have you.

Every group will follow the same rhythm of peer support and process time, along with guided somatic practice and reflection. This is a trauma-informed, relaxed space to share and relate with each other, and ourselves, in new ways.

Whether you’ve been in recovery for years, months, days, or are debating whether sobriety is right for you, you are welcome!

“Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts.” — Bessel van der Kolk

Got Back Pain?

Join internationally acclaimed yoga teacher and author Leslie Howard for a transformative three-part workshop designed to address and alleviate low back pain through targeted, therapeutic yoga practices. Drawing on decades of experience, Leslie offers a deep dive into the root causes of lower back discomfort—often stemming from pelvic misalignment, postural habits, and muscle imbalances.

Session 1, January 15: Foundations of Pelvic Awareness & Alignment

Explore the anatomy of the lower back. Through mindful movement, breathwork, and gentle postural corrections, you'll learn to identify and release habitual tension patterns that contribute to pain and instability.

Session 2, January 22: Releasing the Sacrum & Soothing the Spine

The final session focuses on decompression and release. Using restorative postures, guided breath, and subtle techniques, you’ll cultivate a deeper sense of ease and freedom in the sacral area and lower back. This integrative class ties together the insights of the previous sessions for sustainable relief.

Session 3, January 29: Core Strength & Supportive Stability

Discover the true core—not just the abdominals, but the deeper stabilizing muscles that protect the spine and support the back. Leslie will guide you through accessible yet powerful practices to activate these essential muscles for long-term spinal health.

Whether you experience chronic back pain or occasional discomfort, this workshop offers tools and understanding to support a more aligned, comfortable, and empowered body.

All levels welcome. Modifications will be offered. Practices to take home for daily maintenance provided.

Come ready to move, learn, and liberate your low back with the guidance of a master teacher.

*All payments are non-refundable but may be converted into Nest account credit if cancellation is received 7-days prior to the training.

A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.

- On a not for profit basis

- In an accessible, respectful and confidential space

- With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action

Body Cartography: Mapping Movement, Breath & Being

Saturday, February 14th

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

In Person

with Maggie Zebrine

$60 for one, $90 for two

Discover more ease in your body and life by mapping the experience of your inner landscape. The imagination is a tool to tune into your personal tides, weather patterns, and inner terrain. Playing with imaginative mapping in movement, breath, and being is a potent way to explore embodiment.

We’ll begin by learning the route of the Katonah Yoga magic square and use it as a framework to orient yourself in time and space. We’ll then embody the map by moving through playful shapes, changing the angle of various asanas to shift perspective, and celebrate communal support with hands-on adjustments. With the resonance of the map and new space accessed, we’ll round out practice with breath— both dynamic and subtle.

Come curious and be ready to play together. Leave with a new way to inhabit your own unique and ever evolving experience of being alive.

Space is limited to 25 so sign up early.
