A 3-Part Experience for Women Ready to Redefine Midlife
Who is this for?
Women navigating midlife and beyond—ready to reclaim their radiance, rewrite outdated beliefs, and say YES to empowered pleasure, practical wisdom, and juicy living.

Session 1: Nourishment & the Four Elements
June 28 | 1:00–2:30pm |
Let your body speak—and learn how to listen.
This class focuses on nourishment through food, herbs, movement, and energy. It includes an introduction to the Four Elements and Gunas to help you identify imbalance and find your unique rhythm. Together, we’ll explore energy, digestion, elimination, and rest cycles while tapping into the signs and symptoms your body uses to ask for support. We'll honor the feminine body as wise, adaptive, and worthy of deep care, without shame, fear, or fixing.
Session 2: Myth-Busting & Moon-Keeping
July 26 | 1:00–2:30pm |
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a call to return to ourselves.
This illuminating class will explore myths around aging, hormones, and energy. We will learn to honor the body's cycles through a nourishing blend of techniques, tools, and journaling prompts to connect our energy with the lunar cycle. Come away with more profound wisdom, body connection, and practical ways to listen to and support yourself.
Session 3: Clearing Clutter & Reclaiming Pleasure
August 23 | 1:00–2:30pm |
Make space for what feels good.
This final session invites you to examine lifestyle, boundaries, pleasure, and how to metabolize your yeses and noes with clarity and compassion.

Yoga DiVita invites the Hayco Pride Community & beyond to an evening of absolute awesome!
Imagine lovely movements that open the body and mind to your creativity, alongside some much-needed cathartic exercises to release any anxiety and stress, allowing you to be fully in your fantastic truth.
The phrase "I am what I am" in the context of Kundalini refers to a meditation practice and mantra that encourages self-awareness and acceptance of one's true nature, transcending the limitations of the ego and embracing one's infinite potential.
You are brilliant!
So imagine a safe space that allows for a dance break, a temper tantrum, or laughter yoga. In the end, I will guide you into a space where you feel grounded and alive, surrounded by the vibrations of the gong.
You don't need any experience. This is a cash or Venmo donation-based class. The suggested donation is $10-$20.
