DATE: Friday, November 20th
TIME: 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
FACILITATOR: Ashley Sonson
The week is done, the leaves are falling, and the evening is yours. Join us for a calm, cozy pause the week before Thanksgiving: an hour of gentle, restorative yoga, followed by apple cider or herbal tea, light bites, and unhurried creative time alongside good company.
First hour | Restorative Yoga
We will start with a slow, supportive practice of stillness, breath, and gentle movement, informed by TCTSY (Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga), focusing on internal awareness rather than external performance. Movement will be offered with a mat-based practice in mind, but you're always welcome to adapt it in a chair or in any way that feels right for you. You are the expert of your own body, so everything offered is an invitation. There are no physical hands-on adjustments and nothing to get right. No yoga experience needed.
Second hour | Light bites, Community, & Art-Making
We will share seasonal snacks and community connection as we shift into open, informal creating. Feel free to bring a project you're already working on (knitting, sketching, journaling, anything!) or explore our studio supplies. All art supplies are provided, and no artistic skill is required.
As always, we care about the process, not the outcome. The facilitator is happy to offer guidance if you would like it, and skill-sharing is welcome, too.
What to wear and bring
Wear comfortable clothes you can fully relax in. Mats, light cushions, and chairs are available, but you're welcome to bring your own mat, supports, or a favorite blanket or cozy layer for extra comfort.
New to us?
After you register, our facilitator will give you a call for a brief conversation about the movement portion of the evening. It's a chance to ask questions and share anything that would help you feel comfortable.
Come as you are. Leave a little softer. .
Please register by November 16th. If you have missed the deadline, contact us to see if space is available.
