$40.00 Softening into the Layers: Hatha, Yoga Nidra & Sound Healing


Join Allison and Lorena for an evening of gentle movement, deep rest, and the soothing resonance of Sound Healing. Together, we will set an intention for the arrival of the Fall season—deepening your connection to self as you soften into the season of release.

Through mindful movement, conscious breathing, and restorative stillness, you will be guided inward toward a state of calm presence and deep ease. As you settle, healing vibrations will support relaxation, inner balance, and renewal. The warm glow of candlelight and intentional pacing create a sense of safety and softness—allowing you to meet yourself exactly where you are.

The evening will conclude with a soothing sound bath, featuring crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums, and gentle mantras. These vibrations are offered as a supportive layer to help settle the nervous system and invite a feeling of grounded calm. You’ll leave feeling peaceful, restored, and deeply supported.

This experience is open to all levels and offers a space to reconnect with yourself, restore your energy, and simply be. We look forward to sharing this journey 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 enrolled 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 has since taught at George Washington University. During the pandemic, she felt called to leave academia and found her own company dedicated to promoting workplace 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.
