LADIES FUNCTIONAL FITNESS 
Tuesday & Thursday 8:15-9 am / Friday 7-8 am
Small group strength and mobility training for women. Come for a drop in and get a taste or commit to transformation! Functional means we focus on movements that mimic everyday activities and improve overall mobility, strength and fitness. Exercises often work multiple muscle groups simultaneously, improving coordination and stability. I love this small group setting because we get a chance to really connect and not only get stronger physically but build real connection and community. There's nothing like doing hard things together! 
Space is limited / Advance sign up required HERE
$10-20 donation or $60/month for 2 classes x week
RIDGWAY YOGA SHALA
​Join me for my signature class Hot Vinyasa Flow every Wednesday 8:30-9:45 am
Hot Vinyasa Flow is a dynamic practice that will challenge, strengthen, and uplift you both physically and mentally. It is set to upbeat music, and a yoga inspired message will be offered for you to incorporate on and off the mat. This practice moves through seven doorways or stages, starting by creating sacred space and igniting the spirit or breath. Then we light the fire through a series of warmups and vinyasa flow including Surya Namaskar (sun salutations) A, B & C. The warm up prepares the body for strong holding postures and finishes with yin and conscious surrender in Sivasana. A sweat towel, water, and a sense of adventure are strongly suggested.
Please sign up in advance with the Ridgway Yoga Shala HERE. ​

Fall 2025 Dates Announced!  

Join us Sept 19, Oct 17, and Nov 7th for Ecstatic Dance in Ridgway. Free form movement is where creativity is born, intuition is sharpened, the dukkha (suffering & pain) of life can be processed, and all of You has room to breathe. It's imagination in motion.

This summer's dance energy was so contagious - if you were there you know! The new space at the old school house (RIGS building & Weehawken Dance Studio) is great and has super good vibes, mostly because of all of YOU. Please help spread the word and bring a friend.

Ridgway Ecstatic Dance

3/5/2024

0 Comments

 
I am so excited to announce I'm finally doing it!! Ever since moving to @ridgwaycolorado I have felt a strong pull to host ecstatic dance here. Something about the dramatic peaks and dry desert beckon to be celebrated and danced upon, and what better time than around the Spring Equinox and Libra full moon + lunar eclipse.

Dance has been a big part of my life always. But I’ve found ecstatic dance to be not only fun and freeing, but also transformative, enlightening, empowering, and a powerful embodiment practice. With a curated selection of ambient tunes by 
@dj_straylight to drop you in, our dance floor at @ridgwayfuse will become a sanctuary for you to let loose, move, groove and free your mind.

Join us for a night of movement, freedom of expression, ambiance, and fun! This immersive experience will open you to a state of flow and feeling and allow for a journey of reconnection back to yourself. Come to move and groove in the high vibe music, sacred space, and conscious community.
​
Whether you’re a dancing queen/king or think you have two left feet (you don't!) this experience is for you. Dance is our birthright and the universal language of the soul. So, grab your friends, kick off your shoes, and dance the night away with us! 

*This practice is open and accessible to all. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult and must abide by the guidelines listed below.

New Moon Sister Circle

6/24/2022

Picture
Join Marisa Joan and me as we gather in sisterhood to celebrate the new moon, a time of beginnings to reflect, release, and set intentions. Expect herbal tea, cleansing breath work, journaling, yoga nidra, and the magic of sisterhood.
​

Our intention is to create a safe space for women to gather, connect, and support one another along side the cyclical nature of the moon cycle. Each gathering will have coordinating themes and activities to connect you to the astrological aspects of the moon.

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation”. It is practiced lying down so that you may get comfortable and draw your attention inwards, drift between the states of wakefulness and sleep, unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind reveal themselves, and you fall into an innate state of deep, blissful awareness.

What To Bring
Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, journal and anything else you need to feel comfortable (laying on the Earth outside) or would like to infuse with the energy of the new moon.

Where
We will be gathering in the forest behind the homes on Meadow Estates Drive. There is open parking on the left side of the complex when you drive in. After parking, walk to the right side of the complex to #105 where we will meet and walk down the hill together. We'll be gathering in the circle.

Summer Series Details & Pricing
Mark your calendar to join us for this summer's New Moon Sister Circles June 29, July 27 and August 27. Ticket prices are on a sliding scale from $20-35 so that you may pay what you are able or join us for all three circles for $55.

Women of all ages are welcome, including babies and children. ​
