Soft Start Mini Workshop
A gentle beginning to the year for women who want more ease, more spaciousness, and less pressure.

Join Emma Polette, local yoga teacher and retreat leader, for a mini-workshop over lunch at 12pm to 1pm.
Together we will:

Rest, sip, stretch, and take big breaths
Do a mini-workshop on making self-care doable and realistic in real life
Leave with a simple self-care calendar for the first quarter of 2026

No expectations.
No “shoulds.”
Just a quiet room full of women softening into the year together.
