Yoga Flow and Expressive Art with Bethany Bennett

At Studio B + Pavillion, this welcoming class blends mindful movement with creative exploration for a complete wellness experience. It begins with an accessible yoga flow that offers options for every level, easing in with gentle warm ups, building into dynamic sequences that support strength and flexibility, and weaving in focused breathing before a calming cool down and savasana. Afterward, the creative portion invites participants to experiment with materials such as paint, collage, or clay, using supportive prompts that emphasize the joy of the process rather than the finished piece. No previous art experience is required, and the environment is designed to feel safe and encouraging. Many participants notice reduced stress, greater self awareness, a boost in imagination, improved physical ease and strength, and an overall lift in well being. Please bring a yoga mat, comfortable clothing, a water bottle, and an open mind ready to explore. Pricing is per class at $20 for members and $25 for non members.

FULL MOON: Sound Bath Meditation

An evening of full moon reflection centers on letting go, finding balance, and beginning anew. The gathering starts indoors with a guided sound bath using crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, where soothing vibrations help settle the mind, relax the body, and lead into deeper meditation. If the weather allows, a short releasing ceremony concludes the experience, creating space to set down what no longer serves. Many traditions view the full moon, and especially a Blue Moon that marks the month’s second full moon, as a powerful window for release and renewal. It is often shared that the Buddha reached enlightenment under a full moon. The focus is on mindful breathing, softening, surrender, and reconnection. Participants can expect to leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned, ready to move forward with a sense of peace and purpose. Cost: $30.
