Women's Circle
Connection | Support | Share
Sometimes you don’t know your purpose until you sit in a circle with fearless people.
When women gather in circle and share stories, a fire is lit. And the scorched space within that circle becomes fertile soil for possibility, imagination, and compassion. When women connect through their stories, Earth listens, dreams, and takes them into her womb and asks, “Can you feel the embryonic kicks of a new world?” And more often than not, these women leave reborn from stories of pain.
Join us for deep connection in The Koi’s beautiful sanctuary space. Where we as women; talk, tell stories, have meaningful discussions about all things women and anything else that is on anyone’s mind. One woman is such a powerful Being, imagine the energy of an intentional group gathered?! If you are not feeling your power, then let the group help remind you of your strength, grace and resilience. We are all here for each other. Let’s be the support for one another and grow out of that support. All women welcome!

YOGA, A ONE-ON-ONE EXPERIENCE
A DESIGNED PERSONAL PRACTICE FOR YOU!
Gwyn absolutely loves helping others find the practice that works best for them! Everyone has a different body, different bone structure, muscle development and engagement, injuries, surgeries, health conditions. This being the case, it is very hard to design a class specifically for an individual to get the most out of their practice in taking a group class. Where you have all different bodies doing the same practice. Over all needs are general met during a public yoga class, but hardly ever targets all the areas for an individual. This is were a one-on-one private session is an incredible opportunity to learn what is best for your body and mind. It is designed for you and once you learn what is ideal for your specific wellness needs then you can take that with you and apply it to your life everyday.
Book an appointment for yourself, you and your partner, or give the gift of yoga to someone you care about.
Once your one-on-one experience is registered, Gwyn will reach out to schedule the service. Get excited! This is a wonderful, life changing gift to give your life or your loved one!

SVADHYAYA (Self-Study)
ONLINE ONLY
SELF-STUDY | PHILOSOPHY | SELF-WORK
Svadhyaya is the fourth Niyama and translates to “self-study”. There are 5 Niyama’s all together and they are part of the 8 Limbs of Yoga, which are generally referred too as, observances. It involves examining one’s actions, thoughts, and emotions with detachment in order to understand your self. Fostering self-awareness, and personal growth.
Svadhyaya is a, conscious, and non-critical, approach to looking at oneself, aiming to turn attention inward to understand the deeper nature of being.
Even though, svadhyaya is self-study, an inward turning. It helps so very much to talk about the process, your findings, uncertainty around self-discovery. It also helps to have a guide that has been on the svadhyaya path for over 20 years, Gwyn; to bounce thoughts off of, ask questions, and assist in giving personal tasks, journal prompts, issues with meditation and great resources to continue your path of svadhyaya after the month of direction comes to an end.
These are held live through Zoom. You can hop on the stream at any time within the hour, but it is always more beneficial to be on when we start. Thursday mornings can be dedicated to yourself and it just might lead you to a greater life discovery. Remember you are the source of everything. If you didn’t exist nothing would, granting yourself the gift of knowing who you are, just translate to a more fulfilled life.
Make sure to sign up at least a half hour before class starts to receive a zoom link.
Thursday Mornings, 6:30-7:30am

Spiritual Evolution - Your Souls Alignment
​
Join Gwyn for this eye-opening journey! We will chart our memories, connect life patterns, focus on past experiences that stand out to you. Explore the past to gain a full picture of the present.
As we connect the "dots" what emerges is a purpose, your purpose. Life is never hiding anything from us. We just have to look at specifics, ask the right questions. Our Being is always working with what is aligned for us. Again, all we have to do is pay attention and it is right there out in the open, exposed. Once we shine a light on what we are always guided towards we never unsee it. Allowing us to continue to work with what is aligned with us rather than go against it, which doesn't feel good energetically, physically, mentally. Which brings about suffering and misinterpretation, we struggle because of this.
Discover your soul alignment and get to always work with it, grow it.....water the seed that has been asking you to do so.

POSTPONED
TO NEXT
MONTH
The Bhagavad Gita
(Continued Education)
Every person that practices yoga should read or have read, The Bhagavad Gita. The Gita is considered the most influential text ever written and is one of the greatest spiritual classics of the world. The story of the Gita is a concise guide to navigating the “war within” and achieving mental and spiritual peace. It is a book written for human beings, and at its core teachings’ it is the way to human liberation, hence the “war within”.
A couple great personalities that have said The Gita has strongly influenced them are: Henry David Thoreau, J. Robert Oppenheimer, T.S. Eliot, Annie Besant, Ralph Waldo Emerson.
“A performance of great originality, of a sublimity of conception, reasoning and diction almost unequalled, and single exception among all the known religions of mankind.” ~ Warren Hastings
Since the practices of yoga were design to lessen human suffering, provide structure to understand the human mind, and to aid in keeping the body healthy through the physical practice, the teachings of The Gita are essential to the human essence.
If you have not read The Bhagvad Gita and are interested in learning more about it, this is a great oppourtunity to jump in. The Gita is a book you never put away as it acts as a reference for all and every situation and stage of human existence. If you have read the Gita and did not “get” anything out of it or not understand it. Most people need some knowledge of yoga philosophy and symbolism (almost everything in the Gita is symbolism), like the blind king, Dhritarashtra is blind (blind mind) because he loves his sons, when you love someone/something so much you are unable to see their wrongdoings. The teaching is is attachment, attachment drives you to do things you might not do if you were unattached. With that being said The Bhagavad Gita is for every human being to read and reference. It is meant to liberate your mind in everyday circumstances. That is why it still holds up today. It is very relevant. So you do not need to be a yogi to take this class, you just need to be a human being with an open mind.
There are a ton of different variations of The Bhagavad Gita, we will be working with a specific one, Eknath Easwaran translation. I recommend purchasing and reading before the class starts. It is only 18 chapters, so it is not long at all.
You can purchase the book really anywhere, it’s $8.74 on Amazon.
