The Hideaway (Ella)

Limited Capacity seats available

Join Cat Matlock and Raphaela Fritz for a multi-faceted, trauma-informed experience designed to cultivate both deep grounding and expansive freedom.

What would it feel like to be fully yourself—held, supported, and safe—while also allowing others to be exactly as they are? Inspired by the goddess Bhuvaneshwari, the divine mother who embodies infinite space and limitless freedom while holding the entire world within her, this class invites you to explore that balance within yourself. Through storytelling, mantra, chanting, and asana practice, you will create openness and fluidity in your body and spirit.

A guided breathwork practice and meditation will lead you into a deeply restorative shavasana, where you can surrender into the infinite. All levels are welcome. Cat and Raphaela are honored to hold this space for you.

Superflow ~ Ocean Inspired Movement

LIMITED

Sunday May 31, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

The Venue (Balcony)

Limited Capacity seats available

One of the key Superflow principles is that “fluid bodies lead to fluid minds.” In alignment-based yoga, we move in a linear pattern; however, Superflow is a stream of fluid movements that leave you feeling strong yet grounded and open.
This intelligently sequenced movement experience intends to combine the grace of tai chi, liquid vinyasa, and surf-inspired poses with organic, intuitive motions that honor the oceans inside our body and out. We start with gentle Embodied Centering movements before working into more physically challenging fluid sequences. We end with deep stretch and ocean pulsation meditation. Every gesture in this practice is a love letter to the ocean. Open to all levels of students.

Limited Capacity seats available

When Ramana Maharshi was asked how we should treat others, his answer was both simple and profound : there are no others. That wisdom, along with the elements of water and fire are the inspiration for this offering of a dynamic practice that will activate the physical body, detoxify tension, fear and grief through mindful movement, sweat, pranayama and kriya and return us to our true nature.

Our innermost self is the essence of bliss, of love, of deep connectedness. When we move in the world from this space of infinite love, deep bliss ~ our very presence is healing. We are the medicine. We are the healing salve and comforting balm when our practice is embodied. (description)

Cultivating Courage Within Chaos ~ Find Your Center in the Storm

LIMITED

Monday June 1, 2026 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT

The Venue (Balcony)

Limited Capacity seats available

When the winds of life swirl around us, how do we stay steady at the center?
Inspired by the elemental force of the storm and the mythic energy of gods and goddesses who usher in powerful transformation, this class is an invitation to return to your strength, your clarity, and your unwavering core. Storms may feel chaotic and overwhelming, but they also clear the way for new life. At the eye of every storm is a place of deep stillness—and that place lives within you.

Through rhythmic movement, breathwork, and asana, we will explore the sacred balance between effort and ease, wildness and calm, activation and rest. You will be supported to shake things up, move through what’s stuck, and reconnect to the courage and wisdom already inside you.

This healing and empowering practice will include:
• Breathwork and rhythmic movement to build energy.
• Core activation to awaken your courage.
• Dynamic and expressive flows to embody steady strength.
• Restful stillness to reclaim the steady calm place within you.

This class is open to all levels. If you are ready to reconnect to your center, release what no longer serves, and rise renewed, this practice is for you. Come as you are. Leave grounded, radiant, and more fully yourself.
