The theme of this pop-up practice is an invitation to inner connection, slowing down in a sense of timelessness, and creating space to truly feel. The foundation of the session is based on restoration that begins with the nervous system. Through conscious contact with the body in Yin Yoga and other yoga practices, we embark on a journey from body to mind. The ultimate intention is mental clarity, inner balance, and a deeper state of awareness.

In today’s world, everything moves at a rapid pace. Between work, social life, exercise, nutrition, the rhythm of the city, and the constant stimuli we are exposed to, we rarely find the opportunity to pause. This speed makes it difficult to fully process our experiences. When we don’t have the time to truly feel, understand, and express what is happening, the body gradually begins to carry this load as tension, fatigue, and chronic pain.

This is an invitation to feel rather than to do, to listen rather than to control.

The intention here is not to push, achieve, or arrive somewhere. It is to experience the body as a safe space, to nourish the nervous system through the breath, and to allow the body to remember its own rhythm.

This gathering is a gentle reminder to slow down, to feel, and to reconnect with your inner self.
