🌸 A Ritual of Transition
This is more than an event.
It’s a ritual of transition into summer.
After months of inward energy, stillness, and emotional hibernation…
your body is ready to open again.
To move.
To feel.
To connect.
Yoga Dance by the Tree is a 4-hour immersive experience designed to help you:
✨ release the heaviness of winter
✨ awaken your energy and creativity
✨ open your heart to joy, connection, and expansion
Through movement, sound, stillness, and rhythm, you will reconnect to your body—not through effort, but through presence.
🌿 What Makes This Experience Unique
There is no performance here.
No pressure.
No expectations.
• There is no choreography
• No talking on the dance floor
• No substances to create confidence
Just you…
your body…
the music…
and the freedom to feel.

4:00 PM — Arrival & Grounding
Arrive, settle into the space, and gently transition out of your day.
