Join Chelsey Parkinson for:

OUT LOUD
A workshop on finding your voice, trusting what you know, and letting yourself be seen.
Sunday, September 27
3:00PM - 5:00PM
$65

You’ve done the trainings. You have the certifications. You have the experience. You probably know a freaking lot about what you do.
So why does it still feel so hard sometimes to actually own it?
Maybe you keep telling yourself you need to be more confident first. More experienced. More established.

Maybe you know exactly what you want to say until it’s time to say it out loud, and suddenly you’re wondering how it’ll land, whether you’re qualified enough to say it, or if someone else in the room knows more than you do.

At some point, “I’m not ready yet” can become a really convincing place to hide.

OUT LOUD is a two-hour interactive workshop for practitioners and service providers who are ready to trust themselves enough to actually use their voice. And I do mean interactive. We’re not going to spend two hours sitting around talking about how someday you should be more confident. You’ll get opportunities to speak, practice, be put on the spot a little, and notice what happens when you don’t have 45 minutes to overthink the perfect answer first.We’ll explore where you’re still second-guessing what you know, what you actually believe about your work, where you may be editing yourself to stay comfortable or palatable, and what it looks like to start showing up as someone willing to lead.
Because you may not need another certification, another strategy, or six more months to “feel ready.”You might need to hear yourself say the thing out loud.
And since we’ll be coming right out of Virgo season, who better to help you stop overthinking every possible interpretation of what you want to say than a Virgo who has made an entire career out of noticing what everyone else missed? 😏
Come ready to participate, get a little uncomfortable, and find out what happens when you stop waiting for permission to take up space.

OUT LOUD
You already have something to say. Let’s hear it.

Come see Melanie next week on Saturday 9/12 @10:15AM for her new YIN class

✨ Slow down. Turn inward. Create space. ✨

Yin Yoga is an invitation to soften into stillness, listen to your body, and release what you no longer need to carry.

Longer-held, supported poses allow the body to gently unwind while the mind has space to quiet and the breath becomes your guide.

🌿 Beginning September 12

A Vedic Mantra offering protection and peace over the relationship between teacher and student. Every relationship is a teacher - student dynamic. We are constantly learning from one another and simultaneously teaching one another. EVEN the relationship with your Self is a teacher- student dynamic. Honoring this relationship is divine.
And when we chant this mantra it brings a deeper level of sweetness and reverence to each relationship we have, including the one we have with ourselves.
The Om Saha Nau Vavatu Mantra and meaning:
ॐ सह नाववतु
Om Saha Nāvavatu
May we be protected.
सह नौ भुनक्तु
Saha Nau Bhunaktu
May we be nourished.
सह वीर्यं करवावहै
Saha Vīryam Karavāvahai
May we work together with passion and energy.
तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु
Tejasvi Nāvadhītam Astu
May our learning be illuminating and fruitful.
मा विद्विषावहै
Mā Vidviṣāvahai
May we never harbor hostility toward each other.

✨️
Come join us in the light and peace of the ancient science of yoga.

THANK YOU to the beautiful women who gathered with us last night in the light of the full moon and at the close of Eclipse season for our "Held and Heard: Women's R&R Mini Retreat."🌕

The serendipity of the women who came and gathered was MAGICAL.

When we saw the gathering take shape, we intuitively knew it needed to transform into "Held and Heard," an intimate gathering for women who are ready to go deeper beyond the surface level.
✨️
Depth looks like moving with intention; breathing with intention; speaking what is true for you right now; listening without trying to fix; and bearing witness while allowing yourself to be witnessed.

The progression of Held & Heard:
✨️Pull from the Good Tarot Deck
✨️Set an intention
✨️Chant the sacred Vedic mantra: Om Saha Nau Vavatu
✨️Grounding and Releasing Somatic Yoga
✨️Deep Listening Exercise with Partner
✨️Sound Bath with Crystal Bowls
✨️Stone gathering
✨️Communing together over Ayurvedic Nourishment

It was beautiful watching the evening unfold and evolve into what it needed to be.

Thank you to every woman who trusted the Sanctuary, shared herself, listened deeply, and allowed herself to be Held & Heard. You are valued. We are better, stronger, and supported together.

Whether you are a beginner or beginning again, the Yoga Sanctuary is the place to practice traditional yoga: integrity, breath, movement, and meditation. We honor the true practice of yoga. These are not fast paced "feel the burn" fitness classes. These are soul level classes honoring the subtle aspects of your being. We focus on the breath to help you feel less stressed for the rest of the day and into your week. We move the body with intentional movement to release emotional stagnation. We bring components of meditation to settle the mind.
We believe that the healer is within and we're here to help you remember that you have the capability and capacity to heal yourself. We are bringing you out of the darkness and into the light ✨️
