WELCOME THE SEASON OF GRATITUDE

As autumn settles in around us, we pause to honor you - your practice, your presence, the light you bring to our Shala. Thank you for growing alongside us and for helping shape our vibrant, warm and welcoming community.


This month, we're sharing exciting announcements: our 2026 Teacher Training, a holiday offer (perfect for yourself or someone you cherish), a sneak peek at our One-Day-Only Black Friday Sale, and schedule updates for Thanksgiving and December. 


We are grateful for the community we’ve built together. Let's savor these last few months of 2025 and look forward to all the exciting things unfolding in 2026. We can't wait to share another powerful year of yoga, mindfulness, and community with you.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS


Winter Solstice Celebration: Gentle Yoga, Meditation 

& Restorative Sound Bath with Jayson Hemp

December 21, 4-6pm

$40 / $30 DYS Members



Join Jayson for a Winter Solstice invitation to slow down, soften, and reflect. Marking the longest night of the year, it is also welcoming the return of light. 


This celebration will include stretching and gentle movement, then quiet meditation and stillness to honor and reflect our journey and prepare to plant seeds of intention for the coming year, followed by a deeply restorative sound bath to nurture, bring balance and open the heart.


Along the way we’ll discuss how various cultures and traditions celebrate the Winter Solstice, and conclude with some seasonal snacks and refreshments.
