SOUK Social is a seasonal gathering to reconnect in community with those we share sweat, breath and energy with. Light food and beverages served. PLEASE Register in Advance so we have a headcount for F&B. REFLEX/RECEIVE: Calia Fernandez My paintings explore places where memory flows into imagination and imagination into memory, and boundaries where dream states and natural landscapes are integrated with the female form. Compositions often balance a zest for classical beauty with surreal motifs and overlapping images, contemplating the organic relationship of time’s patterns and the cultivation of spontaneity and intuition. There is a sense dreaming the ancient, in a modern land; of superposition and a caress of the nonsensical. Painting to me, is learning to tread in that open posture of self creation and self forgetting, where force gives way to receptivity. Creative processes ask us to be constantly open and ready to receive their movements, like dancers moving through the dance, while we can never be overly prepared to receive the ways they affect and move us. *Included for our ALL IN Monthly and ANNUAL Members

Restorative practice pacifies and down-regulates the nervous system, inviting the senses to withdraw into deep relaxation and instill mental clarity through breathwork and opening postures. Postures are held for 3-8 minutes thru the support of props, to create a space of tranquility and rejuvenation. Instead of active muscular engagement and stretching, restorative is much more akin to yoga nidra and guided meditation, creating a sanctuary for the body and mind to retreat and recharge. In a culture that prizes productivity, consumption, and excessive speed, restorative yoga offers the rest and wisdom of non-doing that much of modern habits train us to disregard. Rest is a gift, offers us more variety in our movement practices, and acts as an alternative form of practice during stress, strain, or physical injury. Light to intense movement is encouraged, but not required, prior to restorative sessions, and restorative can be practiced in combination with other more vigorous forms of yoga asana. It is recommended to bring an eye mask and/or a few hand towels/cloths to enhance relaxation.

Join us for a transformative breathwork journey to support your emotional and mental wellbeing. Breathwork allows you to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness, consciously. In this liminal space the breath allows you to release stuck and suppressed negative emotions and trauma in the body to make space for healing to occur.

Tears, laughter and unexpected feelings and emotions often surface as we move through layers of conscious and unconscious programming, patterns, stories and behaviors. The breathwork activations help you connect with your intuition (higher self), your creativity (divine purpose) and break free of addictions, traumas and limiting beliefs.

Restorative practice pacifies and down-regulates the nervous system, inviting the senses to withdraw into deep relaxation and instill mental clarity through breathwork and opening postures. Postures are held for 3-8 minutes thru the support of props, to create a space of tranquility and rejuvenation. Instead of active muscular engagement and stretching, restorative is much more akin to yoga nidra and guided meditation, creating a sanctuary for the body and mind to retreat and recharge. In a culture that prizes productivity, consumption, and excessive speed, restorative yoga offers the rest and wisdom of non-doing that much of modern habits train us to disregard. Rest is a gift, offers us more variety in our movement practices, and acts as an alternative form of practice during stress, strain, or physical injury. Light to intense movement is encouraged, but not required, prior to restorative sessions, and restorative can be practiced in combination with other more vigorous forms of yoga asana. It is recommended to bring an eye mask and/or a few hand towels/cloths to enhance relaxation.

Breathwork is an active meditation practice that uses a repetitive breath pattern to drop into an altered state. A powerful self-healing practice, breathwork can help you shift out of old patterns, confront limiting beliefs, and move stuck emotions. Regular practice allows you to experience more clarity, bliss, and presence. George Ramsay is a certified breathwork facilitator who has worked with over 500 clients and companies. He’s been invited into law firms, tech companies, nonprofits, and schools who want to integrate coaching, enneagram, and breathwork to support cultural transformation and well-being. With a background in education, George creates a comfortable environment where everyone feels fully informed of the practice. As a result, everyone gets something in return. He is known for bringing harmony and ease in the midst of big transformation. George currently lives in Asheville, NC. 10% off for all SOUK members

SOUK Basic STRETCH & VINYASA is ideal for beginners; those seeking more flexibility and athletes looking to integrate yoga into their routine; or anyone looking for a slower flow. This slower moving, exploratory class provides the student with the underlying basics of how a vinyasa practice works, while encouraging proper alignment and a deeper stretch. Expect to spend some time close to the ground in poses like reclining twist, supine hip-openers and pigeon. You will leave class with a clearer understanding of yoga poses and a profound sense of openness and release in areas where you typically hold tension, such as the hips, hamstrings, shoulders, and back.

Teaching yoga is an art, and over time, it’s easy to fall into familiar patterns, relying on habit rather than exploration. This workshop is an opportunity to break free from routine, refine sequencing skills, and rediscover creative expression in teaching. Sequencing is more than just linking poses—it’s the foundation of how we shape an experience. Rather than relying on standard Vinyasa templates, we’ll work with improvisation, movement quality, and creative problem-solving to expand sequencing vocabulary through the Prop & Flow/Viale Method. Through guided exercises and real-time experimentation, participants will explore how to break the structure of what they know, articulate ideas with greater clarity, and design classes that feel dynamic and inspired. Expect an immersive, hands-on experience where we’ll refine deeper improvisation techniques, sharpen the ability to teach with creative freedom, and identify ingrained sequencing habits that may be limiting growth. We'll disrupt these patterns in innovative ways, incorporating movement constraints, tempo shifts, and transitions that challenge default tendencies. This is not a lecture—it’s a working lab where we’ll move, deconstruct, and rebuild sequencing ideas in real time, giving teachers the tools to design classes that feel fresh, expressive, and uniquely their own.

Even with a compassionate heart and the best of intentions, our interaction with others can be clumsy, ineffective, and even counter productive. In the Buddhist tradition, developing skillful means is an important addition to the cultivation of wisdom and compassion. In meditation, we can start with gentleness and precision to see the situation clearly beyond our own filters and habitual patterns. But when we re-enter the activity of our everyday lives – it becomes important to know what action will be truly effective – perhaps more so now than ever. “Traditionally when we talk about using skillful means to create positive outcomes, we are referring to four strategies that help shape a good intention into a skillful action: - Pacifying aggressive situations - Enriching impoverished situations - Magnetizing isolating situations - Destroying harmful situations — Awakening from the Daydream: Reimagining the Buddha’s Wheel of Life – by David Nichtern Workshop will include meditation practice and instruction, talk and discussion.
