Welcome in the New Year by re-establishing your commitment to opening your heart, calming your mind, nourishing your body and renewing your spirit!

This workshop will begin with a guided meditation to help you clarify your intentions for the New Year, followed by some gentle movements to awaken your body, active sun salutations and flow sequences to circulate blood and lymph, balance poses to sharpen your concentration, restorative and/or yin poses to heal your joints, and deep relaxation to revitalize your nervous system. There will be time for reflection throughout the class, so feel free to bring a journal (this is optional since paper will be provided) in order to capture insights and articulate intentions.

I consider it one of the biggest gifts I have received, to have found you and our amazing circle of moms.

Asawari A., 2016

I can honestly say that I'm a better mom, wife, sibling, daughter, and person this year because of this group.

Alison L., 2014

Yesterday was especially healing and grounding. I truly felt peaceful, loved and empowered. I feel so blessed to have found you, Jackie and all the lovely women in our circle. Thank you so much all the love and support yesterday and always.

Miriam H. from Palo Alto, 2017

I have to tell you that I draw from the lessons I learn in our moms group several times a day. Everyday. What we’re learning here is invaluable.

Anu B., 2016

I am constantly humbled by the depth of vulnerability and courage in this circle. Our stories, the laughter and tears, the familiar nods when another Mama is sharing, the brilliant questions and wise answers offered....it all is truly amazing. Like waves we rise together in joy, and fall together in heartache, each of us returning to the same ocean of experience. Thank you for this circle.
