A candlelit 90-minute restorative experience

Give yourself permission to slow down.

Join Elizabeth for an evening of deep rest, gentle reflection, candlelight, flowers, and an intentionally slow restorative practice designed to help you transition from the week into the weekend. Perhaps even let go of stuff that’s been hanging on for far too long.

No striving. No accomplishing. No catching up.

Just an evening to soften and receive, to remember what it feels like to be held by the deepest parts of ourselves, revealed through stillness.

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Miller, C-IAYT, MAPT, is a yoga therapist whose teaching invites us to explore yoga as a practice of deep awareness and connection. Her teaching draws from her Viniyoga lineage as well as her background in practical theology, literature, religious studies, and the arts, creating practices that are accessible, meaningful, and deeply reflective.

Her teaching invites us to notice the sacred woven into the ordinary, finding moments of meaning and connection in everyday life.

For this special Friday evening offering, Elizabeth brings those threads together in a practice designed not to ask anything more of you, but rather simply to give you space to rest.

Come as you are. Leave a little more spacious.

Who are you, really?

Behind the masks. Behind the characters you play. Behind the limited self-image you may carry about yourself. What is it that lives beneath all of that?

Halloween is the time of year when the veil to the archetypal world feels especially thin. For a moment, we collectively step out of our everyday identities and into larger-than-life characters, images, and stories.

In this class, we will use the Halloween spirit of play as a doorway into a deeper question: What is here before we play any character, even our daily persona? And what is it like to see and be seen from that place? The answer to that question can point us toward the part of ourselves and others that is not broken and does not need to be fixed. This is at the heart of meditation: discovering something whole beneath the masks, roles, and stories we so often move through the world wearing.

This workshop will combine iRest Yoga Nidra, contemplative gazing, and partner inquiry. Gazing may include sitting across from another person, looking at a photo, or gazing at a flower. Inquiry may include asking and answering meaningful questions with another person, or exploring those same questions through journaling. You will never be required to participate in a way that does not feel right for you. Everything we do will include options, so you can calibrate the practice to your own comfort level.

You are encouraged to dress up for this Halloween class, but you absolutely do not have to :) Come in costume, come as yourself, or come somewhere in between. I will also bring a few witch hats if dressing up is not your thing but you still want to play a little. Everyone in attendance will receive a small ritual item as a token of thanks. All money I make from this event will be donated to Kaleidoscope Youth Center.

No meditation experience is needed. Everyone is welcome. Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and whatever part of you is ready to meet the question.

Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds

Author

Adrienne Maree Brown

Themes

Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns.

Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist “spirituality” based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.

When Marcia Miller and Linda Oshins tell stories about the ‘old days’ or what a lifetime of practice has given us, our listeners ask for more. Our experience represents a slice of the long history of yoga in this country and is peopled with fascinating characters. When we formed the Mid-Ohio Yoga Organization in 1998, all of the yoga teachers in Columbus could fit around one lunch table at the only vegetarian restaurant in town (5 of us plus Claudia from Mansfield who was the driving force behind the group). Just three years later, Yoga on High alone employed fourteen yoga teachers plus Marcia, Martha and Linda—an explosion of activity and professionalism. They’ve decided to offer a few on-line get-togethers during which they tell stories and answer questions. You might laugh or cry with their hilarious, wise, and sometimes heart breaking stories.

In yoga, there are many energy maps of the individual (the koshas, the chakras, the nadis, different states of consciousness, each with their particular vibrant qualities). In this conversation Marcia and Linda will talk about energy work and how it relates to their understanding of formal yoga practices, healing, and self-inquiry in general. Their medium has been Reiki, but their experience relates to other traditions that work with lifeforce by many other names (Prana, Chi, Ki, Mana, various schools of breathwork, for example). They will tell you stories from over three decades of witnessing “ordinary” miracles. You don’t have to be familiar with energy work to join in.

Claudia Cummins will interview them and keep the conversation lively.
Next conversation is scheduled for November 15, 3:30pm to 5:00pm

The wheel of the year turns once again, and we find ourselves landing on the Autumnal Equinox. A day of perfect balance between dark and light. There is a noticeable shift in energy as we transition from Summer’s intensity to the cooler, more introspective atmosphere of Fall. It is the perfect time to harvest the fruits of our labor, store up energy for the shorter days ahead, and to wonder what seeds we might nurture next. You’re invited to come gather with us in a ritual to pause, ground ourselves, and prepare for the seasonal shifts both within ourselves and without.

Through meditation, Reiki, and contemplation practices, we will offer our nervous systems a chance to renew and restore, and welcome the quiet wisdom of Autumn. Restorative Reiki healing energy will be offered to support body, mind and spirit along the way. Bring your open heart, and join Christy and Stephanie for a ritual to transition into what comes next. Let us step into the new season together with grace, healing, and intention.

This offering includes: 

• Guided Yoga Nidra Meditation

• Hands on (or off) Reiki 

• Contemplation Practice

• Journaling

• Custom Essential Oil Blend

• Seasonal crystal

Spend an afternoon learning how to use massage therapy balls to release tension in the body and melt into a series of passive stretching yoga poses. We will begin with a short, calming meditation, followed by a sequence of roll out methods paired with Yin style yoga postures, and finally a relaxing restorative pose to allow our bodies to take in all the melty goodness.

Warning: drooling may occur along with a dreamy, smiley face that could last for hours after.

Please join the Bhakti Mamas for a joyful evening of music, mantra, and connection. Abby Dorn and Holly Moretti, accompanied by James Wooster on guitar and Dan Thompson on bass, will lead a heart opening sing along inspired by traditional kirtan and Americana bluegrass including both Sanskrit and English mantras. Come out for a grounding and uplifting evening of bhakti, music, and community.

Can you imagine for a moment, unfurling to your full height, your full physical and energetic space, the full truth of your sacred being? Many of us have learned to be small for lots of reasons, including gender, religion, painful life experiences, and early training. Maybe we stayed small to stay safe, or maybe we were trained that we were too loud-too much-too big, or that our needs, voices and feelings didn’t matter. Now is the time to embody your full self and all its beauty so that every part of you can breathe and shine.

This will not be a workshop of ideas; it will be a time of practicing embodiment. Beginning with practices and movements that help fill up your inner experience of your body, we’ll expand with yoga and Qigong exercises that fill up space internally and around us physically, vocally, and energetically. The final stage of this workshop will include practices using wooden dowel rods to increase our sense of space beyond the reach of our arms. We’ll do exercises using sticks that will tone and strengthen our cores and then learn a simple enough movement repertoire that gives the felt experience of being bigger and more powerful than usual. We’ll end with a potent standing practice where you’ll feel both regal and majestic, alive and joyful in your inner and outer authority.

Each in-person attendee will receive a wooden dowel; if you are attending livestream, I’ll let you know what inexpensive wooden dowel to buy at your local hardware store. A recording will be available for 3 months.

Join Narada Wise, returning after a long hiatus, for an intimate evening of mantra music.—with a twist. Alongside traditional call & response chants and prayers, the night will weave original songs with mantra-inflected reinterpretations inspired by Pete Townshend, Peter Gabriel, and The Beatles—music that has long felt like a personal life soundtrack: grounding what matters, steadying the mind, and letting hope sneak in during seasons of change and loss. Supported by Neal Frey (bass) and Daisy Wise (Vocals), this gathering is equal parts heartfelt and welcoming—whether you sing along or simply listen. Saturday , June 27 7:00 PM at Radiant Yoga. Bring a friend, bring your voice (or just your listening heart), and come share and in an inquiry of sound and stillness.

Solstice marks an auspicious changing of the seasons. What was reborn during the Spring, now explodes with Summer’s promise of heat, accelerated growth and vitality. In this, the season of the element of fire, we celebrate the strength of the Sun at its peak power.

To prepare for the higher vibrations of Summer, Christy and Stephanie are offering a ritual to help harmonize the energies of mind, body and spirit. A guided, Yoga Nidra meditation will be offered to rest our bodies and renew our spirits. You’ll also receive the benefits of Reiki, or universal life force energy, to promote healing and vitality, and the opportunity to explore your own summer energy.

Together in community, we create a sacred circle to experience what is possible when we turn our attention to the energies that exist within and around us. This is an invitation to feel into your natural rhythms, resetting your system to make space for abundance and joy.

This offering includes:

• Guided iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation

• Hands on (or off) Reiki

• Contemplation Practice

• Journaling

• Custom Essential Oil Blend

• A gift of the season

It was so interesting to practice mudra together in the single session I did last month that I, and others in the workshop, wanted to continue practicing together. Mudra is an energetic, meditative, healing practice that seems subtle but is astonishingly obvious as an experience. For example, in the last workshop we did a practice that let us feel the upper breathing space (index fingertip to tip of thumb), the middle breathing space (middle fingertip to tip of thumb), and lower breathing space (little fingertip to tip of thumb), and in emails I received after class some people expressed surprise at how clearly breathing (prana) was focused by mudra. If you are interested, let’s practice together. You can sign up for single sessions or the whole series. Please feel free to contact me ahead of time with questions or requests, Linda@PhillipsOshins.com.

Ready for change? Flow effortlessly into the new season with trauma-informed yoga instructor and reiki practitioner, Claire Roboski, on the Blue Moon (May 31). This workshop is geared to promote change, release, and renewal in body, mind, and spirit. Each participant is encouraged to bring a journal, an open mind, and the willingness to move through fear and resistance. The practice will be 90 minutes. It will start with an opportunity to share in community what is being released, move through gentle stretches, a sequence flow based on alignment, and will end with longer-held postures. Each participant will receive a hand-made body oil blend in a little potion vial. Each vial comes with a blank piece of paper to inscribe one's truest desire for release for the coming month. Reiki is optional and offered at the end. This is for all levels of practitioners.

Join us for a nourishing gathering of women and an invitation to slow down, soften, and remember the quiet wisdom within.

In a world that often asks us to move quickly and give endlessly, ritual can become a doorway back to ourselves. When the body senses safety, the nervous system can settle, our breath deepens, and we begin to listen more closely—to our bodies, our hearts, and one another.

During this retreat, we will explore simple, yet deeply restorative rituals designed to soothe the nervous system, support well-being, and expand our capacity to meet life with presence and compassion. Together we will experience nurturing practices such as abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-massage), Yoga Nidra, gentle neuro-somatic movement, time for connection and reflection while sipping a warm herbal cup of adaptogenic, stress relieving tea.

These practices invite us into a slower rhythm where care becomes medicine, and pleasure naturally arises as the body remembers how to rest.

This is a space to tend to yourself with kindness, to deepen your connection with other women, and to cultivate the art of deep listening—to the wisdom within and the shared humanity around you.

Come as you are. Leave feeling nourished, connected, and restored.

The Vernal Equinox in March marks the official start of Spring. This seasonal transition begins as Nature makes its dramatic reappearance after hibernating during the quiet darkness of Winter. In this moment of perfect balance when day and night are equal in length, we find ourselves moving into a period of birth and rebirth. As the days grow more and more liquid with light, we may find ourselves yearning for creativity and play. 

To celebrate this auspicious time, Stephanie and Christy invite you to join in ritual working with the natural elements, meditation and Reiki. In this practice, we’ll invite movement out of the heavy, slowness of Winter into the vibrancy of Spring and new possibilities. To do this, we'll explore embodying the Spring energies of light and creation, and contemplate what it is we’d most like to manifest. Together in a sacred circle, we’ll plant our intentions like seeds so that they take root and grow. 

Come enjoy a break from modernity, pausing from life’s daily busyness to experience some much needed nourishment. 

This offering includes: 

• Guided Yoga Nidra Meditation

• Hands on (or off) Reiki 

• Contemplation Practice

• Journaling

• Custom Essential Oil Blend

Join us for this one of a kind melty mash-up class where our teachers will combine passive Restorative Yoga postures, Guided Meditation and Thai Yoga Massage to create the ultimate relaxation experience.

In this session participants will be guided into restorative postures by Liz while Stella and Amy move around the room giving special hands on attention to each person, working on areas of the body that hold the most tension.

The practice of Thai Yoga Massage is a hands on stretching release of muscles and fascia, marma point (acupressure, trigger point release), and sen line (energy line) work that unwinds tight muscles and opens energy pathways to restore health and wellbeing to both the physical body and energetic bodies. It is a practice where both giver and receiver benefit from metta or loving kindness.

Restorative Yoga is like a grown up pillow fort of comfort where we use pillows and blankets to support the body so it can relax completely.
