YoGAY Class ~ I AM WHAT I AM
Friday, April 25th from 6 pm - 7:15 pm
Located at Yoga DiVita in Church Street Studios, Suite 225
Yoga DiVita invites the Hayco Pride Community to an evening of absolute awesome!
Imagine lovelie movements that open the body and mind to your creativity alongside some much-needed cathartic exercises to release any anxiety and stress 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 being, moving beyond 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 of feeling grounded and alive with the vibrations of the gong.
You don't need any experience. This is a cash donation-based class. The suggested donation is $10-$20. Signing up is encouraged to ensure your spot—email Dawn.

Rest to Receive: Yin Yoga, Massage, & Vibrations
Wednesday, May 21st
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$30 pp
You are lovingly invited to an evening of deep rest and nourishment with Dawn Shanthi DiVita of Yoga DiVita and Rachel Thomas of Trillium Holistics.
As we journey toward the Dark Moon, we are offered a sacred pause —a moment to soften, reflect, and receive. This lunar phase is deeply connected to the divine feminine:
a time to listen, surrender, and honor the whispers within.
Let this be your time to slow down.
To be held.
To be heard.
To reconnect with your inner rhythms.
Dawn will gently guide you through a restorative Yin Yoga practice, where each pose is mindfully held for 3–5 minutes. In this stillness, we shift away from pushing and striving
and open to the healing power of presence and receptivity.
As your body softens, Rachel will offer a nurturing massage and vibrational healing,
inviting ease, clarity, and a return to your natural state of balance.
Throughout the experience, you’ll be lulled by the enchanting sounds of chimes, gongs, and bells, which will wrap you in gentle waves of vibration and calm.
Come exactly as you are.
This space is here for you.
Let go.
Breathe deep.
Rest to Receive.
