The Holding Space

Begin 2026 with intention, heart, and sacred community
January 1st 12noon
Welcome the first day of the new year with a soulful celebration of movement, voice, and deep rest.
This New Year’s Day gathering invites you to step into 2026 with clarity, joy, and renewed purpose through a powerful trio of practices designed to awaken, uplift, and restore.
We will begin with an accessible yoga practice that honors balance between effort and ease clearing stagnant energy from the year past. The practice is welcoming to all levels and can be adapted to meet the body where it is. Through mindful movement and breath, you’ll create space for new intentions, new possibilities, and a vibrant sense of aliveness.
From there, we will shift into the heart opening experience of kirtan, the devotional practice of sound that uplifts the spirit and connects us to something greater than ourselves. Let your voice mingle with the sounds of the instruments and voices around you, dissolving barriers and welcoming in a year filled with connection and joy.
To complete our journey, you’ll be guided into the deep, tranquil stillness of Yoga Nidra, the yogic sleep. This restorative meditation will help anchor your resolutions and visions for the year ahead, offering rest, integration, and a profound sense of inner peace.
This event is an invitation to begin your year in harmony with your body awakened, your heart open, and your spirit grounded. Come as you are. Leave renewed, inspired, and ready to step into 2026 with intention and light.
Join Madi, Joe, and Karen for this special event

Join us for a nourishing Yoga Nidra experience, where you are invited to rest deeply while remaining gently aware. This guided practice supports the release of physical tension, calms the nervous system, and invites a sense of emotional ease and balance.
Through simple techniques such as body awareness, breath attention, and guided imagery, you’ll be led into a peaceful state between waking and sleeping, a space where the body can fully relax and the mind can settle naturally. In this quiet in-between state, restoration happens effortlessly.
Yoga Nidra offers more than rest; it creates space for clarity, renewal, and a deeper connection to yourself. No experience is needed, just come as you are and allow yourself to be held in stillness.
