Cultivating Courage Within Chaos
Find Your Center In The Strom
July 26th 4-5:30
The Venue (Balcony)
When the winds of life swirl around us, how do we stay steady at the center?
Inspired by the elemental force of the storm and the mythic energy of gods and goddesses who usher in powerful transformation, this class is an invitation to return to your strength, your clarity, and your unwavering core. Storms may feel chaotic and overwhelming, but they also clear the way for new life. At the eye of every storm is a place of deep stillness—and that place lives within you.
Through rhythmic movement, breathwork, and asana, we will explore the sacred balance between effort and ease, wildness and calm, activation and rest. You will be supported to shake things up, move through what’s stuck, and reconnect to the courage and wisdom already inside you.
This healing and empowering practice will include:
• Breathwork and rhythmic movement to build energy.
• Core activation to awaken your courage.
• Dynamic and expressive flows to embody steady strength.
• Restful stillness to reclaim the steady calm place within you.
This class is open to all levels. If you are ready to reconnect to your center, release what no longer serves, and rise renewed, this practice is for you. Come as you are. Leave grounded, radiant, and more fully yourself.
Join Cat Matlock and Raphaela Fritz for a multi-faceted, trauma-informed experience designed to cultivate both deep grounding and expansive freedom.
What would it feel like to be fully yourself—held, supported, and safe—while also allowing others to be exactly as they are? Inspired by the goddess Bhuvaneshwari, the divine mother who embodies infinite space and limitless freedom while holding the entire world within her, this class invites you to explore that balance within yourself. Through storytelling, mantra, chanting, and asana practice, you will create openness and fluidity in your body and spirit.
A guided breathwork practice and meditation will lead you into a deeply restorative shavasana, where you can surrender into the infinite. All levels are welcome. Cat and Raphaela are honored to hold this space for you.

The Shakti Sessions: Embodying The Goddess
Dive into the transformative power of the divine feminine. In the Tantric tradition, the ancient seers embodied this sacred vibration as an expression of Shakti…the divine feminine power. Following in this ancient tradition (& with a modern twist), each month we will meet to learn, embody, connect, and connect within.
Embark on a journey where we explore what it feels like to embody life-affirming qualities of ancient deities within the modern-day context of all that you are. Inspired by stories, myths, and teachings of the divine feminine, you will reconnect to your powers through aligned yoga asana, breathwork, mantra, contemplation, relaxation, and meditation. Each month we will explore the powers that these wisdom keepers hold, and learn how we can incorporate these attributes into our lives. The essence focused on merging aspects of the ancient wisdom of the divine within you...here and now.
Experience the protective powers within you, shift the way you view the world, and cleanse the mental, physical, and emotional bodies through the practice of deity yoga. Most importantly, this work presents the opportunity to shift the way we see ourselves, seeing the divine qualities we already hold.
