If you have ever been curious about studying yoga or becoming a yoga teacher, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get a taste of what yoga training is like. This event is a special preview for the Wisdom of the Heart 200-hour yoga teacher training hosted by Blue Heart Studio in 2025 in partnership with Elevate Wellness Institute. The session will start with an educational yoga practice to show you what learning in a yoga training is like. Following the practice, you can learn more about our upcoming 200-hour yoga teacher training, ask any questions you might have, and sign up for training if you're ready. Hosting this session will be Ashley Ludwick, lead trainer for the course, and Lauren Mason, owner of Elevate Wellness Institute.

Nicole Coppi will be teaching a brief movement series to open up the body before guiding a somatic breath session, followed by a short integration.
Somatic breathwork is an active meditation that creates the opportunity for powerful healing to occur. This ancient eastern breathing technique is all done through the mouth in a controlled meditative manner, while laying down. It begins with an exaggerated inhalation into the abdomen, a second inhalation into the chest, and then an effortless exhalation.
Breathing this way brings awareness/energy into the body. Many people experience tightness or discomfort in the usual places they hold stress in the body. The conscious mind tries to stay in control during the first few minutes of the breath by thinking resistant thoughts, trying to distract you, or causing you to yawn. The increased oxygen alkalizes the body by reducing the acidity in the blood. As the oxygen reaches the brain, it stimulates the hypothalamus gland causing it to release endorphins, which in turn activate the other ductless glands in the body. The brain begins to relax and emotions open and move more freely when the endorphins are flowing.
Any places in your body that you are stuck or holding onto anger, fear, or sadness will come to the surface. As awareness is brought into stuck energy, it can begin to move. The breath is the fuel to moving energy in your body. The breath continues to bump up against the block, eventually causing a cathartic release as it pushes through.
One on One mentorship for teachers or dedicated students who would like to grow in a particular area of their practice or teaching, to include asana, pranayama, meditation, sequence building and cueing, creating themes, including readings/philosophy/sutras, spirituality.
Yoga for Integration is aimed at bringing together the various aspects of ourselves that experience life– physical, mental, emotional, energetic/spiritual– into a unified whole. The ultimate goal is for students to arrive with an intention or inquiry to bring into their practice, to then leave the class with insight and/or an action to take in their waking life to assist in living a centered and balanced life.
The class will include breathwork and postures (asana); which may be a combination of standing, balance, and seated poses. The heart of the practice will be a guided yoga nidra resting meditation to close the session. This is an all-levels class: you must be able to get up and down off the mat without assistance. Bring your own yoga mat.
You are invited to experience this Sound Bath Meditation as we tap into lunar energy with Michael Enderle. We hold space to acknowledge our blessings and offer gratitude and thanks for what we have received during this lunar phase while setting intentions to release and clear during the upcoming moon cycle.
This Sound Bath Meditation will allow for reflection and contemplation on the source of your inner values and beliefs and aims to develop a deeper connection with the universe, encouraging awareness, transformation, and gratitude. Becoming whole is a conscious practice to mindfully engage ourselves by supporting the process to discharge blocked emotions as we find a way for spiritual growth in this comfortable and supportive space we create in community.
Bring all you need to be comfortable while lying down or sitting on the floor. Yoga mats, foam pads, and air mattresses are recommended. Also, bring blankets, pillows, eye cover, and water to enhance your relaxation experience.
You may bring any items you would like to clear, cleanse or energize and place them on the altar. You may also bring a journal if you choose.
The turn of the new year is often accompanied by resolutions and intentions for change. To create change in the outer world, our inner thoughts/chatter must first change. The key to changing the inner dialogue is through awareness, self-inquiry, mindfulness (practice) and acceptance.
Join Ashley Ludwick for a yogic philosophy workshop on the 5 Kleshas and discover how our mental afflictions cause suffering and prevent the realization of our true nature. These obstacles are the root causes of negative thoughts and actions, and learning practices to understand and overcome them can lead to greater self-awareness, peace, and control over one's internal dialogue.
Gentle yoga moves will be included in the class to prepare the body for discourse and conversation.
Join Ashley Ludwick Saturday, January 18th, 12:30-2:30 PM and begin the journey into settling negative thinking and calming mental chatter.

FirstMemory founder Alejandro Villegas will guide us through a sacred tobacco ceremony, rooted in the teachings of his ancient Peruvian shamanic lineages and supported by a Mesa (shamanic altar).
During the ceremony, he will serve Singa, a ceremonial brew made from Amazonian mapacho tobacco.
This powerful sacrament helps release old habits while inviting transformative new ways of being.
By connecting with the sacred spirit of this ancient plant and understanding how nicotine supports brain plasticity, participants can gain tools to reconfigure mental patterns and heal past wounds. In addition, he will incorporate Sananga, potent Amazonian eye drops renowned for enhancing intuitive perception, uplifting mood, and supporting ocular health.
The sacred tobacco will not be smoked. Instead, Singa is prepared as a tea-like brew and administered nasally through a ritual. A few drops of the sacrament are placed in a whelk shell and gently poured into each nostril, similar to using a neti pot. The ritual is performed twice: once to release old patterns and energies, and again to manifest new intentions and ways of being. This medicine does not burn and has a mildly sweet taste, but it is powerful. It is recommended only for individuals in good health and deeply committed to creating lasting change.
Alejandro will also offer assistance for those interested in receiving a limpia (energetic clearing) to release dense energy from the subtle body.
This experience is not recommended for anyone struggling with nicotine addiction, but it will be beneficial for those seeking to develop a healthy relationship with the spirit of tobacco.
Experience the ancient wisdom of the Andes.
In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to simple yet profound healing practices shared by the Q’ero people of Peru—keepers of an unbroken lineage of connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the living energies of the natural world.

Come with an open heart and leave with practical tools to ground, heal, and awaken your innate connection to all that is.
Join us for a sacred practice of offering and connection.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the art of creating a despacho—an Andean prayer bundle crafted to honor Pachamama (Mother Earth), the Apus (mountain spirits), and the unseen energies that support life.
Despachos are beautiful, living prayers of gratitude, healing, and reciprocity. Together, we’ll gather natural elements, set intentions, and weave our prayers into a collective offering, remembering the ancient truth that giving and receiving are one sacred flow.
No experience necessary—just bring your heart, your prayers, and your love for the Earth.

The Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) is renowned for its vivid sensory
imagery that envelops listeners/readers in an experience of passionate,
evocative love.
Join us as we explore this ancient Biblical text, as it masterfully employs six
senses to draw us into its intimate world. The fusion of these senses makes the
poem a multisensory celebration of love—one that speaks to the fullness of
human experience by engaging sight, sound, taste, smell, touch and intuition.
Blending the contemplative practice of Lectio Divina with yogic practice, this class invites you to fully inhabit the language of love—both human and divine.
Through movement, breath, and stillness, we’ll awaken the body’s wisdom and allow the sacred text to come alive within.

We gather on the Summer Solstice to mark a powerful turning point in the cycle of the year—a moment when the sun appears to stand still before shifting directions, symbolizing a threshold between light and dark, endings and beginnings.
Diana Dos Santos of Goddess Heart Community will guide us on a heart-opening journey with the sacred medicine of cacao, known as the “Food of the Gods.” In this circle, we will drink a warm cacao elixir prepared with intention and reverence for its ancestral roots in Guatemala. Cacao invites us to deepen our relationship with ourselves, our community, and the Earth.
Alejandro Villegas, founder of FirstMemory, will then guide us through a sacred tobacco ceremony rooted in the teachings of his Peruvian shamanic lineages and supported by a Mesa (shamanic altar). During the ceremony, he will serve Singa—a ceremonial brew made from Amazonian mapacho tobacco—administered nasally using a whelk shell, similar to a neti pot. The ritual is performed twice: once to release old patterns and energies, and again to manifest new intentions and ways of being.
By connecting with the sacred spirit of this ancient plant and understanding how nicotine supports brain plasticity, participants can gain tools to reconfigure mental patterns, heal past wounds, and invite in new ways of being.
Together, Alejandro and Diana will also offer assistance to those who wish to receive a limpia (energetic clearing) to release dense energy from the subtle body.
Solstice is a natural time to pause, honor the transitions in our lives, and align with the larger dance of light and shadow. Join us in celebration and reverence of Earth’s medicines of cacao and tobacco, and step consciously into your next chapter with heart, clarity, and community.
Step into a sanctuary of stillness, where flickering candlelight dances like a quiet prayer in the dark. In this gentle subtle body practice, we invite you to slow down and turn inward.
Begin with Yin Yoga, where long-held, surrendering shapes soften the deep connective tissues of the body, inviting release and renewal.
Then, drift into the healing embrace of Yoga Nidra—a guided meditation that invites you to rest in the liminal space between waking and dreaming. As you journey through the layers of consciousness, allow the candlelight to hold your presence, softening edges and illuminating new pathways within.
This class is a gift to your body, mind, and spirit—a sacred pause in the busyness of life, where the quiet flame of candlelight welcomes you home.
The human body is an elegant, interconnected system—seamlessly integrating the physical, mental, emotional, and subtle energy fields. These aspects of self are not separate; they exist in constant communication and influence. When we undergo strong emotional experiences, that energy doesn’t remain confined to our emotions—it reverberates through the body, imprints mental patterns, and disrupts our energetic pathways.
In the Q’uechua tradition, dense emotional energy is known as hucha. When left uncleared, hucha accumulates in the energy body and can begin to affect our overall well-being. A limpia is an ancient energetic cleansing practice that uses the trained awareness of the facilitator to detect and release these energetic blockages. Through various shamanic techniques, the heavy energy is offered back to the Earth, restoring balance to the subtle anatomy.
When paired with a sacred tobacco infusion, which helps open key pathways in the nervous system, this ritual becomes a potent method for clearing stagnant energy and reclaiming inner power.
Alejandro Villegas—founder of FirstMemory and South American lineage carrier—will be offering 30-minute personal sessions that weave sacred tobacco ritual with limpia. Come experience one of the oldest and most profound technologies for resetting your entire system.
Please note, these are one on one sessions. After your purchase, you will be contacted via email to schedule a time to arrive in studio for your limpia/tabacco infusion. Wear comfortable clothing and be on time.
Experience the deep current of cosmic connection through one of the most sacred and protected practices of the Q’ero people of Peru, guided by Alejandro Villegas.

Through breath, intention, and energetic journeying, you’ll reconnect to the ancient web of life—rooting yourself between Earth and Sky, Light and Mystery. This is a powerful practice of grounding and expansion, a remembrance of your place in the living cosmos.
Deepen the experience through sound immersion and the resonant vibration of crystal singing bowls.
No prior meditation experience needed—just a heart open to wonder.
Soothe Your Nervous System Through Song
Singing is one of the most effective and joyful ways to calm the nervous system and stimulate the vagus nerve. Join me for a one-hour session where we’ll explore full-body movement, mindful breathing, and simple singing techniques designed to ground and energize you.

6 Months of Cacao, Scripture & Somatic Breath
A collaboration between Nicole Coppi and Diana Dos Santos
New Moon Ceremonies (In-Person): Each month we gather in sacred circle to share cacao, listen deeply to scripture, and journey through breathwork. The new moon invites us to plant seeds of wisdom, healing, and renewal.
Full Moon Integration (Online): At the full moon, we connect virtually for community reflection, presence, and guided practices to integrate what is unfolding.
6 Ceremonies, 6 Moons, 1 Circle: Over six months, this series becomes a container of transformation — attuning to lunar rhythms, embodying the living word, and receiving the subtle medicine of Cacao.
The cacao ceremony offers a steady heart companion in this 6-month journey aligned with the moon cycles. Cacao walks with us as medicine of presence. Softening us into truth, connection, and deep listening. Cacao becomes both gentle and strong, a bridge between prayer, laughter, tenderness, and renewal.
This path is not only about ceremony, but about cultivating a living rhythm with cacao as an ally in our journey—anchoring us in love, resilience, and sacred responsibility.
