### Autumn Equinox Celebration:

Restorative Yin + Sound Bath

Date: Sunday September 20, 6:45–8:15pm

Investment: $40 for registration

Join Kate and Melissa for a deeply restful evening of restorative Yin Yoga and immersive sound as we honor the transition into autumn.

The Autumn Equinox invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with a greater sense of balance. As the season begins to shift, this 90-minute experience offers space to slow down, release what feels heavy, and settle into a grounded sense of renewal.

Kate will guide a gentle Yin Yoga practice featuring supported, longer-held poses designed to release physical tension, calm the nervous system, and invite a meditative state. Throughout the practice, Melissa will weave in crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, chimes, gongs, and other grounding instruments, allowing sound and stillness to deepen the experience.

The evening will gradually transition into an extended final rest, where participants can fully surrender to the layered vibrations of the sound bath.

Come as you are and leave feeling rested, balanced, and renewed for the season ahead.

### Inner Alchemy Sound Bath: The Art of Letting Go.

Date: Friday October 2, 6:30-7:45pm

Venue: Leap Yoga • Folsom
Investment: $35

As the season begins to shift, nature reminds us that release is part of the rhythm.

The Art of Letting Go is an invitation to soften your grip, clear what feels heavy, and create space for what comes next. This grounding autumn experience offers space to slow down, turn inward, and allow the nervous system to settle into deep rest.

Melissa will begin with a guided meditation to help you arrive fully, connect with your body, and set an intention for the evening. From there, you’ll be immersed in the soothing vibrations of gongs, crystal singing bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, and other therapeutic instruments, creating layers of sound designed to support relaxation, stillness, and restoration.

No need to fix, force, or figure anything out. Simply arrive, get comfortable, and receive.

# The Restorative Experience

### Kaiut + Yin Intensive with Michéal, Molly & Cindi

Saturday October 17, 12:00–3:00pm

Community Mixer & Refreshments to Follow

Give yourself an afternoon to move, learn, restore, and reconnect with your body.

Join Molly, Michéal, and Cindi for a special three-hour experience that goes beyond a regular class, combining the therapeutic benefits of Kaiut Yoga and Yin Yoga with hands-on assists, personalized guidance, and individual attention throughout the practice.

With three experienced teachers and intentionally limited enrollment, we'll have the time to work more closely with each student. During the Kaiut practice, you'll receive individual guidance and hands-on assists to help you recognize patterns and areas of restriction, fine-tune familiar poses, and discover how subtle changes can make a meaningful difference in your body and your practice.

We'll then transition into Yin, a natural complement to the Kaiut work. Longer, quieter holds invite you to soften, release tension, settle the nervous system, and give your body time to absorb and integrate the work you've done.

Think of it as an afternoon of self-care with purpose—time to give your body the gift of two restorative practices while receiving the personal attention and guidance to better understand your own body and support your movement, mobility, and overall well-being.

You'll leave feeling restored, refreshed, and more connected to your body and your practice, with insights you can carry into your regular classes.

Afterward, stay for refreshments —a relaxed opportunity to connect with your teachers and fellow students and enjoy some time together outside of class.
