Upcoming Seattle-area Yoga Events
Deep Rest: Yin & Restorative Yoga Practice
{ Free Respin Community Live Stream Event }
Wednesday, December 17, 2025
4:00-4:45 pm Pacific
@ Virtually online
Hosted by Respin Menopause Community
It’s supposed to be the season of cozy socks, simmering soup, and long winter naps – the time of year we rest and restore. Yet somehow, while nature slows down, our calendars fill up, and for those of us navigating menopause, the mix of symptoms and seasonal busyness can leave us stretched thin.
This deeply restful yoga practice will invite you to s-l-o-w down, get cozy, and drop in. Through a combination of Yin and Restorative Yoga – the low-and-slow end of the yoga spectrum – we’ll spend time close to the ground, supported by props, cushions, and blankets, with the permission to simply relax.
Turn away from the external cacophony, come home to yourself, and restore that precious thing called balance. (Remember that? 🙂) We’ll practice the radical act of rest in a culture that doesn’t make space for it, emerging with more steadiness, clarity, and grounded energy to carry us through the season ahead.
Dress in comfy layers. Need some prop alternatives? Here are some suggestions here.
FREE online event for folks in perimenopause and menopause! You do not need to be a member of Respin to participate. However, if you are interested in joining Respin Inner Circle, please contact me directly for a discount code.
Winter Solstice Candlelight Restorative with Healing Touch – SOLD OUT
Sunday, December 21, 2025
4:00-6:30 pm
@ Datza Yoga Studio (Eastlake, Seattle)
Co-hosted with Michele Trump
Join Michele & Nicole for a spacious, candlelit 2.5-hour Restorative yoga practice with hands-on healing.
Take an intentional pause to honor the quiet stillness of the longest night and gently rekindle your inner light. We all need regular opportunities for refuge – to come home to ourselves, connect with inner wisdom, and tend our inner fire – so we can re-group, stay focused, and remain resilient for the important work of living in this complex world. This evening is such an opportunity.
This sweet practice opens you to the quiet, reflective essence of the winter solstice, inviting you to slow down and unwind before settling into the deep support of long-held Restorative postures. During the practice, you’ll have the option to receive healing touch (Reiki and massage) to support calm, rest, and relaxation. We’ll close with a guided yoga nidra meditation and optional aromatherapy.
All are welcome – every background, level, size, and age. No yoga experience is necessary; simply come as you are, with a willingness to be still and present with yourself. Hands-on support is always optional; students may opt in or out at any time.
Please dress in warm, comfortable layers, and bring an eye cover, cozy socks, and a favorite blanket.
Investment: $85
Pre-registration is required, and space is limited to 10 participants (these gatherings usually fill well in advance).
NOTE: There will be no Candlelight Restorative class this evening after the event.
The Reset Circle | 2026 Event Series
A journey through cacao, yoga, and vibration to guide you back to harmony
I’m excited to introduce The Reset Circle 2026 Event Series – a collaborative series featuring paired offerings created to help you slow down and realign with your inner North Star – co-hosted with Ariana Will and Christina Sanini. Each month, these immersive gatherings will pair two complementary modalities to support reflection, renewal, and connection.
January Reset: Cacao + Sound
Saturday, January 24, 2026
10:00 am – 1:15 pm
@ Centerpoint Wellness NW (Westlake, Seattle)
Led by Christina Sanini & Ariana Will*
*Please note I will be attending, but not teaching at this event.

Enter a deep state of meditation surrounded by notes and vibrations from traditional Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other unique instruments. These sounds provide a steady focal point that quiets mental chatter and anchors awareness. Their vibrations send waves of energy through the body, stimulating cellular resonance and amplifying energetic intentions. With practice, this state of stillness encourages the brain to build new, healthy neural pathways and release patterns that no longer serve you.
Join Ariana Will, a 1000-hour licensed massage therapist and co-owner of Centerpoint Wellness Northwest, for an immersive exploration into the art and practice of sound meditation. Ariana has been practicing clinical massage therapy since 2013 after graduating from Cortiva Institute, and brings over a decade of experience in mind-body healing to her teaching. As a 200-hour registered yoga teacher trained through the Ananda Institute of Living Yoga, and a graduate of the Himalayan Yoga Academy’s professional singing bowl and sound meditation certification program, Ariana blends technical knowledge with a deeply intuitive approach to the therapeutic power of sound.
This series is designed for anyone seeking a grounded, transformative introduction—or a deeper return—to soundbaths and sound meditation.

When cacao is served in ritual, it becomes more than a warm beverage—it becomes a gateway to the heart. With each sip, you will slow down, connect inward, and feel a gentle sense of happiness, euphoria, and personal empathy.
You’ll receive a simple serving of indigenous-grown cacao blended with hot water—pure, unprocessed, and alive with the essence of the earth. This is not hot chocolate; it is cacao in its truest form, honoring the plant’s natural wisdom and abundant health benefits.
In this Heart Seed Ritual, you’ll learn the rich history of cacao, its positive health effects, and its sacred role within ancient Maya traditions. The session will be led by Christina Sanini, trained cacao practitioner and student of the Mayan oral traditions. Together, we’ll explore how sipping cacao with intention and reverence for nature will leave you feeling balanced, connected, and more in tune with yourself and the world around you.

Yoga was always intended to be more than exercise – it’s a creative, holistic pathway toward balanced well-being. It honors the whole person: body, breath, mind, heart, energy, and beyond. In this session, Nicole Bratt (C-IAYT, E-RYT 500) will introduce yoga’s kosha model – a lens for witnessing and supporting every layer of your being – followed by a gentle, grounding, therapeutic practice to help you reconnect with your whole self and attune to your inner listening. You’ll leave feeling centered, open, and ready for the cacao ritual that follows.
No yoga experience is necessary; all bodies are welcome. Dress in comfortable layers and bring a cozy blanket and an eye cover.

Join Ariana, Christina, and Nicole on the Spring Equinox, as we gather to mark the transition with a special day-long retreat centered on renewal.

The environment will be warm, inclusive, and intentionally paced to help you slow down. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and aligned with what you want to cultivate as spring begins.
Participants will co-create take-home bath salts and receive a gift bag.
All levels and bodies are welcome. Participants are asked to dress in comfy layers, and will be sent a short list of things to bring a few days prior to the event.

Restorative Yoga + Healing Touch
Saturday, February 28, 2025
5:00-7:00 pm
@ Datza Yoga Studio (Eastlake, Seattle)
Co-hosted with Michele Trump
As winter softens and the first signs of spring emerge, we enter Ritusandhi – the Ayurvedic threshold between seasons when energy can feel especially unsettled. It’s a tender time of being in the in-between, where the ground is shifting and our systems crave steadiness.
Join us for a gentle and Restorative Yoga practice to soothe our energy, honor the nourishment of winter’s fallow period, and prepare for the season of growth ahead. We’ll explore ways of staying grounded in our bodies and minds while acknowledging what is beginning to arise.
Through long-held, supported postures and optional healing touch, you’ll be invited to slow down, settle, and reconnect with what helps you feel anchored during times of transition.
People of all backgrounds, levels, sizes, and ages are welcome. No yoga experience is necessary; simply come as you are with the willingness to be still and present with yourself. Students can opt in or out of hands-on at any time during the practice.
Participants should dress in cozy layers, and are requested to bring an eye cover, socks, and your favorite blanket.
Investment: $75
