Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep, is a guided meditation practiced lying down. This class follows the traditional structure. You start by setting a sankalpa, a short personal intention. Andrea then guides your awareness through the body, the breath and contrasting sensations, bringing you to the state between awake and asleep. Your body gets deep rest while your mind stays just aware enough to follow her voice. A sound bath runs through the practice to help you settle in and stay there.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra:

• Lowers stress and moves your body out of fight-or-flight mode

• Supports better sleep, especially if you have trouble falling or staying asleep

• Eases anxiety and racing thoughts

• Releases physical tension you may not realize you’re holding

• Leaves you clearer and more focused afterward

• Gives you an intention, your sankalpa, to carry with you after class

No experience needed and no poses to hold. If you can lie down, you can take this class.

Tea is served after class, so stay a few minutes before heading back into your evening.

What to bring: a clean beach towel to cover the blankets we provide. Dress warm and comfortable. Socks and layers help, since your body cools down as you rest.

This workshop offers a little bit of everything!

We will use soft balls on our hands and feet to improve our joint mobility and balance. Using a soft roller, we will hydrate fascial tissue and massage muscles. Yoga poses will be woven throughout to increase joint space and improve your posture. Class ends with a gratitude meditation.

This week in QiGong we will be focusing on Wuji; one of the oldest forms of Qigong, practiced for centuries by Daoists and martial artists in China. Many tai chi and Qigong traditions treat it as both the beginning and the end of practice: we start in Wuji, move, and then return to it.

The purpose of the Wuji set is to reset our energy to that original state, and in doing so, to experience freshness and clarity.

On a surface level, this might mean releasing postural or energetic patterns that have built up over the past day or week. You may notice your shoulders dropping, your breath slowing, or tension you didn’t realize you were holding starting to soften. As we go deeper, we may begin letting go of patterns that have accumulated over months or years, some of them formed by experiences long ago.

The practice itself looks simple. Much of it is standing still, with soft knees, a long spine, and slow, natural breathing. That simplicity is the point. When the body stops doing, we can finally feel what it has been carrying, and give it a chance to let go

Qigong is a traditional Chinese practice that combines gentle movement, breathing, posture, and focused attention. The name itself means "working with life energy."

Regular practice can reduce stress, support circulation, improve balance, and cultivate a sense of calm in both body and mind.

Taught by Patricia D. Lifrak, MD, MBA. Patricia is a psychiatrist residing in Lewes. She believes that nurturing both a healthy body and a healthy mind is essential to true balance and harmony in life. When that balance is restored, the everyday stresses of life feel far less overwhelming. Qigong brings body and mind back into alignment, a living expression of yin and yang.

Dive into this 2 hour workshop, and discover the power of letting go and moving to the music. Professional dancer Katerina will teach you fun choreography, how to isolate movement in your hips, and show you moves you can take onto any dance floor. This practice is great for your pelvic floor, your core, and overall joint mobility. 

On September 26th, anatomy professor Philomena Behmer and Andrea Kennedy will be leading a two-hour deep dive into the nervous system; what it's actually made of, how it communicates, and why it responds to stress the way it does.

We'll look closely at the autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, what activates each, and what the research actually says about regulation and recovery. Come with questions. Come with curiosity. No background in anatomy needed, just an interest in understanding your own body a little better.

Capacity Check is a two-hour immersive experience for the woman who can handle the big things, yet somehow finds herself overwhelmed by the small ones—the woman doing a lot, carrying a lot, and starting to question what actually still belongs in her life.

Through nervous system regulation, somatic movement, breathwork, meditation, and the SHIFT Framework, we’ll slow down, tune back into the body, and reconnect with intuition and discernment. You’ll explore where your capacity is being spent, what’s draining it, and what you want to make room for next—leaving with practical tools and tangible action steps to create more clarity, choice, and intention.

Because you don’t need to wait until January to decide how you want the next chapter of your life to feel.
