Loft, 3rd Floor | Optional nourishing dinner to follow
Awaken the Energy of Spring with Sacred Sound & Solar Yoga!
In the world of yoga, the Equinox is a time of balance, renewal, and transformation—a sacred turning point when day and night stand in perfect harmony. It is a time to honor the shifting light, welcome new beginnings, and embrace the energy of growth and expansion.
Join us for a powerful Spring Equinox celebration, where we will:
- Move through a Solar Yoga practice to awaken and align with the rising energy of the season.
- Chant 108 OMs—a deeply meditative and vibrationally potent experience that connects us to the cycles of nature, clears stagnant energy, and amplifies our collective intention for renewal.
Why 108 OMs?
The number 108 holds profound significance in yogic traditions, symbolizing the wholeness of existence, the connection between the cosmic and the personal, and the rhythm of the universe. Chanting OM—the universal sound of creation—108 times allows us to synchronize with this sacred frequency, fostering clarity, peace, and inner transformation.
This soul-nourishing experience is open to all—whether you're a seasoned practitioner or brand new to chanting, you are welcome in this sacred circle of sound and intention.
Pricing:
- 108 OMs for the Spring Equinox – $35
- Experience + Nourishing Dinner at the ARC – $55
Let’s breathe, chant, and awaken together as we step into the vibrant energy of Spring!
