Relaxation Sunday is typically offered on the last Sunday of the month. This class is a way to reinforce your stress relieving efforts. It is a restorative practice that requires props that aim to fully support the body for each pose. Props provided by Blue Heart Studio. Please bring your own mat. Format consists of setting up bolster and blocks, lying back, and breathing for a period of time, and then rearranging the props for another pose. It is the ultimate in relaxation and stress reduction. All ages and levels. Must be able to get on/off the floor without assistance.

Bring your own mat and enjoy a class that will get you out of your head and into your body.

Sunday seems to have a certain psychology to it. Feelings of not really wanting to get up and GO! Ideas of sleeping in, slow morning activities, and no rushing to go anywhere or do anything consume our minds. That’s why we at Blue Heart Studio offer Late Riser Yoga at 11 AM. Have your coffee and brunch and still make it to yoga class. This class is a slow flow style of yoga. Everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace and do what feels right. Class will consist of mindful movements, breathwork, and relaxation. Must be able to get on/off the floor without assistance. Bring your own mat. All other props are provided by Blue Heart Studio.

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. A special discount will be available for those who attend this session and sign up for training. All levels of students are welcome.

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.

Join us for Communion Circle, a heart-centered gathering where sacred tradition meets mindful community. Rooted in the contemplative rhythm of our Lenten Yoga practice, this unique event weaves together the ancient Christian ritual of Eucharist with the soul-deep connection of a community share circle.
Guided by the spirit of reflection and renewal, we’ll open space to listen—to God, to our breath, and to one another. Through personal sharing, prayer, and the taking of Communion, we deepen our experience of Lent as a season not only of personal transformation, but of collective grace.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi seeking deeper spiritual connection or a Christian desiring embodied, heartful practice, Communion Circle offers a sacred pause—an invitation to be present, to witness, and be held in love.
There is no fee for this offering.

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.

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.

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.
You do not need to be a trained singer—just bring your voice and an open mind. We’ll work with easy harmonies and accessible vocal exercises that anyone can do. Come experience the powerful, healing vibrations of your own voice.

Who or What is Sophia? What does Divine Wisdom feel like in the body?
Sophia Rising is a two-hour journey through movement, breathwork, and guided relaxation woven with the living word of Scripture from the Wisdom of Solomon.
This class centers around one scripture passage, read aloud four times, allowing the words to unfold across layers of the mind, body, and spirit. Through intentional movement and deep, cleansing breath, we soften into receptivity and attune to the ceaseless radiance of Sophia– Divine Wisdom, rising within.
Join us for this sacred and embodied inquiry into the feminine face of God.
Beginners welcome, must be able to get off the floor unassisted. Bring a yoga mat.

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.
