CONNECT THROUGH YIN: A Transformational Yoga Experience with Deva Shantay

Nourish, Reflect & Reconnect: Join the incredible Deva Shantay, Co-Founder of True Nature, for a deeply nourishing yin yoga practice that will guide you into quiet, spacious connection with yourself.

This class offers more than just gentle movement—it is a meditative journey inward. Through long, restful holds and presence, you'll soften into stillness and allow your body’s wisdom to speak.

*Please bring a journal to reflect after practice.

This is an invitation to nourish, awaken, and reconnect.

• Gentle yin yoga postures

• Guided meditation + stillness

• Journaling + personal reflection

• A space for deep rest and inner clarity

Both their projects have won national and international architecture awards. They presently host retreats centered around conscious living and self-discovery in Colorado, Costa Rica and beyond.
