Balance the Heat: A Holistic Nourishment Summer Immersive Series
Saturday, June 13th, 10:00am - 3:00pm
In-Person Series
This four-week series of day retreats is a seasonal reset for your relationship with food, body, mind and emotions.
Summer’s intensity can quietly increase internal heat, therefore affecting digestion, hormones, mood, and energy. This 4-week immersive experience is designed to help you regulate that heat through education, embodiment, and integrative lifestyle practices rooted in Ayurveda.
You will understand why, and how to apply Ayurveda and Yoga principles to your daily life with confidence.
This immersive retreat series is for anyone who is experiencing one or more of these symptoms:
Inflammation
Irritability
Exhaustion
Sleep Disruption
Bloating
By the end of this four-week series, you will:
Understand how summer impacts your unique constitution
Stabilize digestion without suppressing appetite
Reduce inflammation and emotional reactivity
Protect and restore your vitality (Ojas)
Develop sustainable daily rhythms for energy and clarity
Feel empowered in your relationship with food and self-regulation
Each session is a stand-alone educational mini-retreat blending teaching, movement, breathwork, embodiment, a one-hour cooking class and shared seasonal meal.
Week 1: Tend Your Agni Without Getting Burned
June 13, 2026: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
When summer heat rises, digestion often becomes sharp, reactive, or unpredictable. You may feel hungry but inflamed. Energized but crashing. Ayurveda teaches that this is a sign your digestive fire, Agni needs guidance.
You may be experiencing:
Acid reflux
Bloating
Sugar cravings
Afternoon crashes
Feeling overheated after eating
In this immersive first session, you’ll learn how to stabilize digestion in hot weather through practical seasonal rhythms, cooling breathwork, gentle movement, and a one-hour cooking class focused on strengthening, not extinguishing your digestive fire. You’ll leave with clarity about your unique digestive tendencies and a sustainable summer plan to reduce discomfort and restore steady energy.
This session stands alone as a powerful digestive reset.
Week 2: Cool Inflammation & Internal Heat
June 20, 2026: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Inflammation is not random. It is excess internal heat expressing itself through the skin, hormones, and emotions. Summer amplifies this fire. If left unbalanced, it shows up as reactivity, frustration, and physical discomfort.
You may be experiencing:
Skin flare-ups (acne, rosacea, rashes)
Redness or sensitivity
Headaches
Hot flashes
Increased anger or irritability
Feeling easily triggered
This session will enlighten you on methods of cooling the system intelligently. Through Ayurvedic education, a hands-on cooking class featuring anti-inflammatory seasonal foods, calming pranayama, and embodied self-soothing practices, you’ll learn how to reduce internal heat without dulling your vitality. You’ll walk away with tools to calm skin, regulate mood, and feel lighter in both body and mind.
This session stands alone as an inflammation reset.
Week 3: Prevent Burnout & Protect Your Energy
June 27, 2026: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Summer invites expansion, more light, more activity, more social engagement. But without protection, your deeper reserves become depleted. You may appear functional on the outside while quietly running on empty.
You may be experiencing:
Exhaustion despite longer days
Trouble sleeping
Over-scheduling and social fatigue
Feeling depleted after gatherings
Hormonal fatigue
In this restorative and educational immersion, you’ll learn how to preserve Ojas, which is your vitality essence, while still enjoying the season. Through nourishing cooking instruction, restorative yoga nidra session, guided nervous system reset practices, and personalized rhythm planning, you’ll create a sustainable framework for energy protection. You’ll leave with practical tools to sleep better, say no without guilt, and move through summer with steadiness instead of strain.
This session stands alone as a burnout-prevention retreat.
Week 4: Calm the Mind & Cool Emotional Reactivity
July 4, 2026: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Summer heat doesn’t just affect the body. It rises into the mind. Thoughts can feel sharper. Reactions quicker. Patience thinner. You may notice yourself less tolerant and more easily triggered.
You may be experiencing:
Short temper
Conflict in relationships
Impatience
Feeling overstimulated
Comparison or judgment
Emotional overwhelm
This immersive session focuses on cooling the mental and emotional body. Through guided meditation, reflective practices, embodied awareness, seasonal cooking, and group connection, you’ll learn how to cultivate steadiness and compassion even in the heat. You’ll leave with daily tools to regulate emotional intensity, communicate more clearly, and maintain inner calm through the remainder of the season.
This session stands alone as a mental reset retreat.

Whether you are carrying joy, grief, hope, fear, sadness, we will create a safe container to feel it all here.

Resting isn’t an afterthought, but a basic part of being human… Nothing we accomplish in life is totally free of the influence of spirit and community. We do nothing alone.” – Tricia Hersey, author of Rest is Resistance
The evening will start with some grounding meditation and long-held postures, to tune into our feminine yin energy and help us transition from the busy-ness of our daily lives into a place of rest. We'll then get creative with some simple art and journalling prompts, with an opportunity to share reflections.
Who is this for?
Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this circle is open to all women and female-identifying folks seeking meaningful connection.
All movement practices will be as accessible as possible, with modifications offered and encouraged. Come as you are. Join us in holding space for celebration, reflection, healing, and growth.

Prevent Burnout & Protect Your Energy: Restoring Vitality in an Overstimulating Season
Saturday, June 27, 2026: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Summer invites expansion, more light, more activity, more social engagement. But without protection, your deeper reserves become depleted. You may appear functional on the outside while quietly running on empty.
You may be experiencing:
Exhaustion despite longer days
Trouble sleeping
Over-scheduling and social fatigue
Feeling depleted after gatherings
Hormonal fatigue
In this restorative and educational immersion, you’ll learn how to preserve Ojas, which is your vitality essence, while still enjoying the season.
Through nourishing cooking instruction, restorative yoga nidra session, guided nervous system reset practices, and personalized rhythm planning, you’ll create a sustainable framework for energy protection. You’ll leave with practical tools to sleep better, say no without guilt, and move through summer with steadiness instead of strain.
This session stands alone as a burnout-prevention retreat.

In this 60-minute class, you'll be guided through a soothing journey of conscious breathing, complemented by the rich, ambient sounds of gongs and other instruments. As you lie comfortably in savasana (corpse pose) on your yoga mat, Devinder's calming voice and the resonant vibrations of the gongs will envelop you, helping to balance your nervous system and alleviate stress.
Our warmly heated studio, the Body Room, will be set with dimmed lighting to create a restful environment. Yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters are available for your comfort, but feel free to bring any additional props you need to fully unwind.

Explore the balance of strength and flexibility in this focused Hips & Splits workshop designed to support deeper, more efficient movement in the lower body.
You’ll begin with a guided hip-opening flow to gradually awaken the muscles and create space in the joints. From there, the workshop shifts into a progressive approach to mobility training—helping you actively build strength while increasing range of motion in the hips and hamstrings.
Rather than forcing flexibility, you’ll learn how to develop control and stability at your end ranges, creating lasting change that supports both your yoga practice and everyday movement. This session is suitable for all levels, whether full splits are your goal or you’re simply looking to move with greater ease and resilience.
You can expect to:
Learn how to safely increase flexibility by strengthening muscles through their full range.
Improve joint health and function through targeted, controlled movements.
Explore how the hamstrings support both mobility and stability in lower body movement.
Work through accessible stages that meet you where you are and build over time.
Move beyond passive stretching into techniques that create long-term results.
Develop a better understanding of how your body moves to reduce strain and improve efficiency.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to train flexibility in a sustainable way, along with practical exercises that can be continued independently. Expect to feel stronger, more open, and more connected to your movement potential.

The full moon can be a meaningful time for reflection and reset. Its natural cycle offers a helpful reminder to pause, reflect, release, and create more balance in both body and mind.
A full moon practice can also awaken our creativity and inner clarity. Whether you are working on creative projects or seeking fresh perspectives on life’s challenges, this is a beautiful time to let go of stagnant energy and make space for insight and renewal.
In this class, you will unwind and reset through slow, grounding yoga postures, allowing the body to open and the nervous system to settle. You will then move into a deeply restful Yoga Nidra—a guided, meditative relaxation that supports effortless release, inner healing, and integration.
This practice invites all to soften, to listen inward, and to welcome the spaciousness that the full moon brings.
You’re welcome to bring an eye pillow or anything that adds to your comfort.
