Join Kelly and Neda for this six-week series designed to support you in the tender, transformative postpartum period. This class welcomes all new moms and birth parents—with or without your non-mobile baby—to move, breathe, and reconnect with your body in a safe, nurturing space.

Through gentle, mindful movement, you’ll begin to rebuild core and pelvic stability, release tension in the shoulders and hips, and restore balance to both body and mind. You’ll also have the chance to connect with other parents navigating this same season—sharing stories, laughter, and support.

Each class includes:

• Grounding breathwork to calm the nervous system
• Gentle core and pelvic floor reactivation
• Strength and mobility exercises for shoulders, hips, and spine
• Restorative poses for relaxation and release
• Community connection and space to share (if desired)
• A closing rest to replenish your energy

You’ll leave feeling more centered, supported, and empowered as you continue your postpartum healing journey.

Healing through Mindful Movement and Meditation

This gentle, nurturing yoga series is created for individuals with a history of cancer and for the caregivers and loved ones who support them. Together, we’ll create a compassionate space to reconnect with the body, ease tension, rebuild strength and balance, and cultivate resilience. Through accessible movement, mindful breathwork, and guided meditation, participants are invited to move at their own pace while fostering community, hope, and renewed confidence.

No prior yoga experience is required. Individuals with a history of cancer are warmly welcome, and caregivers are equally encouraged to attend—whether alongside their loved one or on their own.

Research shows that gentle yoga and meditation can help reduce common cancer-related side effects such as fatigue, anxiety, and low mood while supporting overall well-being. This series is led by Denise Spector, a yoga instructor, who is also an oncology nurse practitioner and integrative health practitioner, with a deep commitment to supporting cancer survivors in their healing journey.

Our bodies are constantly responding to an inner climate—shifts in sensation, energy, mood, and breath that influence how we move, how we breathe, and how present we are. In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll explore the idea of internal weather as a lived, embodied experience, and how different inner conditions shape our movement and awareness.

We will explore a range of common internal weather states—such as sunny and clear, cloudy or overcast, windy, foggy, or stormy. Each inner “weather pattern” can be felt in the body in simple, everyday ways, influencing how we breathe, stand, and move. Rather than needing to interpret or change what’s present, we’ll focus on noticing how these states show up physically, how they shift, and how movement can support awareness and comfort. No prior experience with somatic movement is needed—just a willingness to sense and explore.

Throughout the workshop, we will move with the weather patterns, bringing them to life in the body through yoga and simple dance expressions. Using gentle prompts, we’ll explore how each inner state can be expressed, experienced, and allowed to shift—flowing naturally from one weather pattern to the next. The focus is on curiosity, embodiment, and attuning to our inner climate, supporting a sense of ease, resilience, and presence as the body and mind move together.

What to wear / bring:
Comfortable clothing for easy movement. Barefoot is encouraged; a yoga mat is optional for any floor-based exploration.

Led by Antonia Beh, who brings decades of experience as a dancer, choreographer, and educator in the Triangle, this class offers a thoughtful and accessible approach to movement that welcomes dancers of all backgrounds.

Rooted in creative dance, this class offers an inviting approach to exploring modern dance techniques. Whether you’re brand new to dance or returning after time away, you’ll be guided into movement with curiosity, playfulness, and support.

We’ll build expressive dance phrases from fundamental movement principles—breath, flow, suspension, and release—starting with simple standing exercises to ground awareness in the body. From there, we’ll gradually expand into more dynamic movement patterns, traveling through space and exploring rhythm, momentum, and connection to the room around you.

Along the way, you’ll be encouraged to listen inward, make choices that feel authentic, and discover your own unique movement language. The class weaves together structure and freedom, offering both clear guidance and space for personal expression.

Open to all levels of movers, this is a joyful opportunity to awaken creativity, build confidence, and reconnect with your body in motion. Come as you are—ready to explore, move, and release your inner dancer.
