ROOT SOFTLY. BLOOM BRIGHTLY.
Two Yin Yoga Invitations
to Root & Bloom
Settle into a nourishing yin practice that carries you from winter's quiet to spring's first bloom. Choose a 5-week chakra journey, a Spring Equinox Celebration on March 20, or let any one—or all—of these experiences support your season of renewal.
Two ways to practice:
Root to Radiance:
5-week chakra-based Yin Yoga series
Fridays • 4:00–5:15pm
From Stillness to Bloom: Spring Equinox Celebration
Friday, March 20 • 4:00–6:00pm
Gentle, beginner-welcoming, and perfect for anyone craving slower evenings, deeper rest, and subtle energy work.
5-Week Yin Yoga Journey
Root to Radiance:

Over 5 gently-paced weeks, we’ll journey from root to crown with restorative yin postures, breath, and meditation to balance each chakra. Expect cozy props, long-held shapes, soft music, and guided reflections that invite your nervous system to unwind and your inner radiance to reawaken.
This series is gentle, beginner-welcoming, and supportive for anyone craving slower evenings, deeper rest, and subtle energy work.

Your Guide
Hosted by: Kristi Garwood
Experience the Spring Equinox through a transformative yin-guided meditation held in comfort and community. Kristi weaves together restorative chakra-informed yin postures, breath work, use of props, and supportive hands-on assists, to help you slow down, listen inward, and honor the turning of the seasons.
Her approach is beginner-welcoming, and deeply supportive for sensitive nervous systems, empaths, and anyone feeling the weight of transition.
“These gatherings are an invitation to root softly into yourself, so that whatever is meant to bloom in you this season has space to emerge.”
Common Questions
If you’re feeling a gentle yes, trust that. Here are a few details that might help you decide.
Do I need yin or yoga experience to join?
No previous yin or yoga experience is required for either the 5-week series or the Spring Equinox ceremony. Both are designed to be gentle, supportive, and accessible for beginners as well as seasoned practitioners who are craving a softer, slower practice.
What if I can’t attend all 5 weeks of the series?
You’re encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible, as each week builds on the last. That said, each class is also held as a complete, nourishing practice. If you know in advance you’ll miss a date, you’re still welcome to join the series for the overall journey and support.
Can I come to just the Spring Equinox Celebration?
Yes. You’re welcome to attend the Spring Equinox ceremony on its own, without joining the 5-week series. Many people choose the ceremony as a seasonal reset, while others pair it with the series for deeper continuity.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear comfortable, cozy layers you can easily move and rest in. For the Equinox Celebration, please bring a journal and pen, a water bottle, and any small item you’d like to place on our shared altar—such as a crystal, flower, photo, or meaningful object. Props such as bolsters, blankets and sandbags are provided by the studio.
