About this Event

Releasing the invisible armor most of us don't even know we're wearing. The constant managing, monitoring, performing, staying in control so nothing falls apart.

On the mat, softening isn't weakness. It's actually the harder skill. We'll practice it through movement — noticing where the body grips, where it holds, and gently asking: can you let go just a little?

The real you is underneath it. Softer than you let yourself believe.

Tea and affirmation cards to close.


This class is part of a 4-Sunday series — allow yourself to be guided by what calls to you.


Let It In is a Sunday yoga series where each class follows its own theme: Arriving · Feeling · Softening · Blooming. Join all 4 and experience a full arc of coming home to yourself — or simply arrive at the one that speaks to you most. Each one is whole on its own. All 4 are a journey home.


🌿 May 3 — Arriving
🌿 May 10 — Feeling
🌿 May 17 — Softening
🌿 May 24 — Blooming


WHAT'S INCLUDED: Yoga Flow · Iced Herbal Tea · Affirmation Cards · Outdoors @ Baileywick Park


✦ This series is an initiation for The Courage to Feel — a summer retreat on July 19 at Sky Pond, Apex. Each Sunday plants a seed. The retreat is where it blooms.
