$40.00 Blossoming into Renewal: An Evening of Yoga, Rest & Sound Healing
Join Allison and Lorena for an evening of uplifting yet gentle movement, soft release, and the soothing resonance of sound healing (6:00–7:30 PM), followed by refreshments and connection in community (7:30–8:00 PM).
As Spring awakens, nature invites us to embrace the beauty of new beginnings, the energy of growth, and the joy of renewal. Just as the earth begins to bloom again, we are reminded of our own capacity to awaken, refresh, and make space for new possibilities. It is an invitation to reconnect with ourselves and welcome the season with openness and intention.
Through mindful movement, conscious breathing, and restorative stillness, you will be gently guided to release stagnant energy, reconnect with your body, and cultivate a renewed sense of balance and vitality. Inspired by the natural rhythms of spring, we will create space for fresh energy to flow, allowing us to soften, open, and blossom from within. The warm glow of candlelight and the intentional pace of the practice will create an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility, allowing you to meet yourself exactly where you are.
The experience will culminate in an immersive sound journey featuring crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums, and gentle mantras. These resonant sounds offer a supportive space to quiet the mind, release tension, and invite harmony, deep relaxation, and inner restoration.
Following the practice, you are invited to linger, sip herbal tea, enjoy home-baked treats, and share meaningful moments of connection with others in the lounge.
Open to all levels, this experience offers an opportunity to pause, replenish your energy, and celebrate the gentle unfolding of spring while nurturing the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Breathe. Open. Bloom. Carry the freshness of Spring with you.

Allison Caras
Allison has been on the yoga path for more than 20 years and feels she has only begun to scratch the surface of its depth and wisdom. She approaches the practice with humility, reverence, and playful curiosity, and brings those same qualities to her classes. She teaches Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra as well as private classes, and is part of the management team at Beloved. She is currently studying in the Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda 800-hour Yoga Therapy Certification Program.
In addition to her yoga studies, Allison holds a PhD in Applied Linguistics in Spanish from Georgetown University and taught at George Washington University. During the pandemic, she felt called to leave academia and found her own company dedicated to promoting workday well-being through the wisdom, science, and art of Yoga and Ayurveda. While she no longer teaches languages or conducts linguistic research, she remains deeply interested in the ways language can foster human connection, self-awareness, and meaningful reflection.
For Allison, journaling is a form of svadhyaya, the yogic practice of self-study. She is grateful for a space like Beloved and for the opportunity to nurture both inward reflection and a shared sense of belonging.
