New Moon Yoga Nidra: A Night of Deep Relaxation
Embrace the energy of the new moon and the turning of seasons with an evening of healing rest led by Cat Jones. We’ll begin with a 90-minute restorative yoga practice, before being guided through a full yoga nidra experience. Often referred to as “yogic sleep”, yoga nidra is an extended guided meditation that relaxes the body and mind, systematically moving through our inner layers to release stress, increase self awareness, and strengthen your connection to the unconscious.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY FOR EVENTS
Registration for all events, including trainings and immersion workshops, is non-refundable. However, if you cannot attend, you may transfer your spot to another person by contacting us via phone, email, or in person.
We understand that plans can change, but our no-refund policy helps us maintain the quality and sustainability of our offerings. Organizing events requires significant time, effort, and resources from both the studio and our teachers. In addition, many of our trainings & workshops have limited spacing — last-minute cancellations not only prevent others from attending, but also affect the viability of the event for our dedicated instructors. As a small, local business, your understanding and cooperation not only helps us support our teachers, but also allows us to continue providing enriching experiences for our community!
