The Sunday Reset
~ A Ritual of Renewal for Body, Mind & Nervous System ~
Slow, soulful yoga and Nordic-style thermal ritual to reset your nervous system and return you to yourself before the week begins.
Overview
Each Sunday Reset gathering begins with a slow, embodied hatha flow — grounding, breath-led, and accessible — designed to soften tension, quiet the mind, and gently bring you home to your body.
From there, you are invited into the sacred rhythm of the thermal cycle — an ancient ritual of warmth, cooling, and rest that supports nervous system balance, circulation, and deep renewal. You’ll have access to the sauna and hot tub for comforting heat, followed by invigorating cold elements such as a snow scrub or cold-water douse, and then spacious time to rest and integrate — allowing your system to fully receive the healing power of contrast and stillness.
This is not a class you rush in and out of.
It’s a pause.
A reset.
A soft place to land.
Come as you are.
Leave feeling lighter, calmer, and quietly renewed.

What to expect at your Sunday Reset…
Slow Flow Hatha Yoga
An unhurried, nourishing practice with gentle transitions and supportive postures.
This class is designed to release tension in the body, regulate your nervous system, and create space for presence, softness, and ease.
Guided Meditation
Contrast Therapy
A deeply restorative ritual of warmth, cooling, and rest — designed to deeply soothe the body, calm the nervous system, and invite renewal.
You’ll be invited to move through the cycle at your own pace:
Warmth — in the sauna and hot tub
Cooling — with invigorating cold elements such as a snow scrub or cold-water douse
Rest — in a quiet, candlelit space devoted to silence
Our quiet Resting Room is layered with pillows, blankets, and bolsters to support your body in feeling fully held, comfortable, and nourished.
Each round becomes a gentle invitation to soften, release what you’ve been carrying, and return to a grounded sense of calm.
Benefits may include:
calming the nervous system
supporting circulation and lymphatic flow
easing physical and emotional tension
enhancing overall relaxation and clarity
Included Comforts
Robe, towel, and outdoor slippers are provided for your use, so you can move through your experience with ease and comfort.
Tea & Light Nourishment

A Note for Animal Lovers (and those with allergies):
Our beloved feline family member, Milo, sometimes joins us.
He fancies himself a bit of a therapy cat and may visit and curl up beside participants. Please keep this in mind if you’re sensitive or prefer a pet-free space.
