Calm Waters: A Practice to Support Mental Well-Being
When life feels full and the mind begins to ripple with activity, yoga offers a way to return to stillness. Calm Waters is a gentle two-hour practice designed to support mental well-being through soft, mindful movement, calming breathwork, deeply supported restorative postures, and a closing guided meditation with the grounding warmth of hot stones. Science shows these practices help calm the nervous system, ease stress and anxiety, and support mood and sleep—offering a steadying reset for body and mind.
