Root Salon and Spa| ALIGNED | An Embodied Workshop for Women
A women-centered embodied workshop at PLX Fit Club that turns attention from gathering more information to integrating what is already within. Through breathwork, somatic release practices, and the use of sound and vibration, participants explore a safe, supported space to listen inward, reconnect with the body, and establish a simple daily self-care rhythm. The experience emphasizes presence and attunement over overthinking, with guidance to help anchor inner knowing in the body. Participants leave with practical tools and a steadier sense of connection for everyday life. The group is intentionally small and well supported. Registration is required and space is limited.
