Mat Chat for Teachers & Practioners
🗓️ Sunday, June 07, 2026
03:00PM, w/ Nicole & Whitney
Mat Chat is a casual, heart-centered group for yoga teachers, teacher wannabes, and longtime practitioners to connect, share, and grow together. Think of it as a cozy community hangout—part conversation, part practice support group, part inspiration session.
Each gathering will have a simple theme to guide the discussion—something like finding your voice, navigating burnout, the asanas of yoga, or reconnecting to your personal practice. Our first session will be more organizational: setting intentions, choosing themes that matter most to the group, and shaping how we want Mat Chat to flow.
We’ll keep it intimate so everyone has space to speak and feel seen—8 to 12 people is a sweet spot (enough voices for rich conversation, but small enough for authenticity and connection). Bring your questions about anything yoga, insights, and an open heart—sometimes we’ll dig deep, other times we’ll simply laugh and swap stories from life on the mat.
Join Nicole & Whitney for the conversations!

05:00PM, w/ Sylvie
You are warmly invited to gather beneath the Strawberry Full Moon, marking the first full moon of the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere.
Together we will explore the Kleshas — the inner patterns and perceptions that can pull us away from our truest nature — while reconnecting to the gentle wisdom of the Divine Feminine within.
Through breath, intuitive movement, reflection, ritual, and shared circle, we gather to soften what no longer serves, reconnect to the body, and remember the deeper wisdom that lives beneath fear, attachment, and disconnection.
Together we create a grounded and supportive space for presence, self-inquiry, and inner remembrance.
Participants are invited to bring a journal and a small sacred object for the communal altar.
Donation-based offering
May you enter the circle in presence, and leave in clarity.

Kundalini Yoga & Meditation
🗓️ Tuesday, May 5, 2026
10:30am, 60 minutes, w/ Elizabeth Bogart
In celebration of Member Appreciation Month... Join us for a special Kundalini Yoga & Meditation class with guest teacher, Elizabeth Bogart.
Kundalini Yoga is a unique combination of movement (called a kriya), breathing techniques (pranayama), mantra (chanting), and meditation with mudra (hand postures). Each kriya works like a recipe to reset, regulate, and balance your nervous system. Each meditation is a unique combination of mantra, mudra, and eye gaze that plays the body like an instrument. There are thousands of different kriyas that have their own effect on the body. We'll be practicing a gentle, heart-opening kriya and indulging in a delicious chant-out-loud meditation aligned to Taurus Season. We'll chat a little bit about how the water of the body is impacted by music, mantra, and singing -- and how we can use the power of our own voice to promote cellular healing. It's best understood by experiencing it, so come try it.
If you have the time after class, stick around for an informal Kundalini Q & A and a chance to pull Oracle Cards (just for fun).
Elizabeth’s Bio:
Elizabeth Bogart is a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Elizabeth has been teaching/practicing this style of yoga for over 15 years and affectionately describes this practice as "putting yourself in the washing machine" in a good way. She first stumbled upon this practice by accident when living in India, and quickly fell in love with how sparkly, powerful, clear & connected she felt after each class. She also teaches kids yoga, prenatal yoga, and yoga nidra. She recently self-published a book of meditation for individuals and families preparing to conceive which includes kundalini meditations and other mini-self care practices "to help mother yourself as you prepare for motherhood." She regularly comes to Wake Forest to visit brother's family and is delighted to be teaching at The Yoga Loft during Member's Appreciation Month. IG @eb_heartwork

Sound & Soul: Sound Bath & Journaling for Self Love & Discovery
🗓️ Sunday, February 22, 2026
3:30pm, 90 minutes, w/ Stephanie Thurm
Sink into a deeply nourishing experience designed to reconnect you with yourself at a gentle, unhurried pace. **Sound & Soul** is a self-love and self-discovery workshop inviting you to soften, listen inward, and explore what it means to truly care for yourself.
What to Expect
Guided Sound Bath
The experience begins with a guided sound bath, where soothing tones from crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other harmonic instruments wash over you. These vibrations help calm the nervous system, quiet mental chatter, and create space for insight and emotional release. You’ll be invited to rest comfortably, breathe deeply, and simply receive — allowing the sounds to support relaxation, clarity, and inner balance.
Reflective Journaling Practice
Following the sound bath, we’ll transition into a reflective journaling practice. With thoughtfully crafted prompts centered on self-love, values, and personal discovery, you’ll have time to translate your inner experience into words. This portion of the workshop supports honest self-expression, helping uncover patterns, desires, and truths that may be ready to emerge.
Good to Know
No prior meditation or journaling experience is needed

All levels are welcome

Each gathering will include a guided grounding meditation to settle the nervous system, followed by unhurried time for journaling, silent reflection, or resting in stillness.
You are always welcome to engage in the way that feels most supportive — writing, breathing, listening, or resting. There is no pressure to participate in any one way and no expectation to share.
Held as a limited February offering, The Sacred Pause invites you to step out of the noise of daily life and into a moment of intentional pause.
✨ Open to all

✨ Come as you are

Synchronized breathing and heart-centered practices to regulate the nervous system and deepen emotional connection
A mini couples massage demo, where each partner learns a few safe, easy techniques for shoulders, back, and neck that they can confidently offer at home
A deeply restful side-by-side savasana with guided relaxation, a treat and a closing gratitude ritual
You’ll leave with a shared practice, a few go-to massage sequences, and a renewed appreciation for one another!
