THE ROOTS + RADIANCE OF YOGA: A SEASONAL SERIES EXPLORING THE ROOTS OF YOGA, PRANAYAMA + MEDITATION
with Wendelin Scott
In Studio + Livestream
remaining sessions: December 13 | January 24
3:30-5:30pm
This series invites you into the heart of Yoga as a living tradition where breath, meditation, and timeless teachings open new pathways of awareness. Each session includes readings from original texts, gentle practice, pranayama, and meditation all distilled from Wendelin’s three decades on the yogic path. Together, we’ll journey through the vital pulse of the breath, the resolution of duality, the remembrance of wholeness, andthe awakening of inspired vision for our lives. Sessions may be taken individually or as a series. The only prerequisite is a genuine interest in yoga philosophy, breath, and meditation.
December 13 – Yoga: The Harmony of Opposites
At the heart of Yoga rests the invitation to recognize and reconcile the apparent dualities of life. Light and dark, inhale and exhale, effort and surrender, right and wrong — these polarities shape our experience, yet Yoga teaches that beyond them or through them is a deeper wholeness. Through breath, meditation, and reflection, we will inquire into how our concepts of opposites shape our perceptions, and how one-sidedness can limit understanding and obstruct inner cohesion.
January 24 – Purnima: You Are a Universe
We will explore the state of purnima — fullness and completeness. Through breath and meditation, we remember that each of us is a fractal or microcosm of the cosmos, made of the same elements as stars, planets, cedar trees and butterflies and at the center of each being there is a luminous wholeness.

As such, all vendors donate a portion of proceeds from the event directly to The Sky Center, which offers free family counseling and other dedicated programming to prevent youth suicide in Northern New Mexico. If you’d like to make it an afternoon of wellness for yourself as well, sign up for the Emily's 12:15pm Gentle & Strong class or Lisa's 2pm Yoga Nidra class ahead of the event; Yogasource will donate 10% of proceeds from both those classes to the Sky Center as well. Hello Wellness and Yogasource will have complimentary light refreshments and n/a drinks. In addition to pottery, jewelry, books, clothes, and more, we'll also have available a fairy hair station so you can brighten into the sweet spirit of the day. Bring friends, support a great cause, and help us all continue to use our organizations as opportunities to build community, in these tough times, together.

THERAPEUTIC BREATHWORK WORKSHOP
with Lauren Morlock
In Studio Only
Sunday, December 28 | 5:30 - 7:00pm
Therapeutic Breathwork, or Conscious Connected Breathing is a practice developed to bring about deep change. By facilitating movement through the different kinds of repression that limit our ability to fully experience life; breathwork works to identify and integrate both the physical and psychic parts of ourselves. Modern trauma research confirms that repression lives in the body, on a deep level, sometimes hard to find; even in the most dedicated efforts to diagnose and treat.
This style of Breathwork is akin to holotropic breathing; holotropic meaning “moving towards wholeness”. It is an active meditation, with the breath, that brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. In a cyclic, slightly-faster-than-normal-paced breathing pattern, we breathe to a set of curated musical accompaniment that supports and augments the experience.Therapeutic Breathwork is an effective and powerful tool for exploring ourselves; traversing the emotional, physical, and energetic bodies. This conscious practice allows what may be buried in the psyche, or embedded within the structure of the body, to arise and be processed in a safe and supportive container. It allows us to be in our bodies; held in a space of radical presence and Self-nurturing.
Oftentimes we are left feeling lighter, spacious, grounded and aligned after the session. Breathwork is a powerful and accessible tool for those of us who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, substance use, pain, grief, trauma, insomnia, and more. It is also a great tool for encountering the Self, ever-more intimately, while building self-love, agency, and empowerment. I’ve experienced Breathwork transform many lives, as it has my own.

WRITING WORKSHOP: TREE POSE POEMS
with Emily Hyland
In Studio + Livestream
Sunday, January 4 | 2:00 - 4:00pm
In this writing workshop, we apply key concepts of a yoga asana to the work we do on the page. Just as tree pose needs roots to anchor in order to ascend towards the sun, poems need the weight of earth energy in order to move towards big ideas. In this workshop, practice developing a poem that starts plugged into the ground of the world and blossoms into limitlessness. No writing experience required, this workshop is open to anyone curious about tuning their craft and exploring expression through the practice of writing poetry in the spirit of curiosity & awareness.
RASIKA KIRTAN
with Annie Moon + guest musicians
In Studio Only
Sunday, January 4 | 6:00 - 7:30pm *continues monthly
To be a Rasika is to be one whom can taste Rasa. Rasa is the mystical nectar of life's beauty that is perceived through observing the arts. In other words, we can enter into a state of divinity through the presence of artistic offerings and by an increased sensitivity to our own personal receptivity.
Please join Annie Moon and special guest musicians on the first Sunday of the month (December 7) for a night of Kirtan at Yoga Source! Kirtan is the practice of Bhakti Yoga, an Indian temple tradition of call and response chanting. This is where we come together to sing the ancient Sanskrit mantras with repetition with group participation. Together we can dissolve into the infinite body of sound by letting our voices ring out in exploration of presence & consciousness. All are welcome! No prior experience is needed.
