Serendipity Yoga and Wellness

If you’ve ever tried a Yin class and thought, “Why are we in this position for so long?” or “I don’t get the purpose of this,” this session is for you.
This session has been designed to make Yin yoga feel approachable, supportive, and meaningful. Rather than simply moving through long-held poses, we’ll take time to explore the why behind the practice so you can feel more comfortable, confident, and connected in your body.
You’ll learn how Yin works on the body's deeper tissues, how to find your personal edge without strain, and how to use props and breath to support your experience. We’ll pause, check in, and adjust along the way, creating space for questions, curiosity, and understanding.
This is not a typical Deep Stretch class. It is an opportunity to slow down, tune in, and experience stillness in a way that feels accessible rather than overwhelming.
What to Expect -&nbsp; An introduction to the principles and purpose of yin yoga - Guided exploration of foundational poses&nbsp; - Support with props to make each shape work for your body - Gentle breath awareness to help you settle into stillness - A closing relaxation to integrate the practice

Perfect for beginners, skeptics, or anyone who has tried Yin before and didn’t quite connect with it.

Through Kundalini Yoga, we have the power to transform our physical, mental, and energetic bodies through movement, breath, sound, and stillness. This month, we gather under the energy of the full moon, a potent time for growth, expansion, and stepping more fully into our potential.
In this special session, we will practice a carefully selected kriya designed to support personal growth and conscious expansion. As nature continues to flourish and stretch toward the light, we are invited to do the same. Through dynamic movement, intentional breathwork, mantra, and meditation, we will work to clear limiting patterns, strengthen our inner vitality, and create space for new possibilities to emerge. This practice encourages courage, self-awareness, and a willingness to grow beyond old habits and perceived limitations.
We will close with an immersive sound bath featuring gong and crystal singing bowls, allowing the body and nervous system to fully integrate the practice. These powerful frequencies support deep relaxation, energetic balance, and inner alignment, helping you embody the intentions and insights cultivated throughout the evening.
Come as you are, ready to move, expand, and reconnect with the limitless potential that already exists within you.Please Note | You are invited to come dressed comfortably, with your yoga mat and anything that helps you feel at ease.

Yoga is a practice of both inner and outer transformation. Inclusivity, equity, and community are core to who we are, and this peaceful sit-in&nbsp;is an embodiment of those values.
Together, we will gather in stillness to cultivate Metta—loving-kindness—for ourselves, for those most impacted by injustice, and for all beings. As we sit, we hold space for healing, resistance, and collective liberation, aligning our inner work with the outer call for justice.
By pausing, reflecting, and offering our presence in the community, we remember that small actions—when taken together—become powerful waves of change. All are welcome; no prior meditation experience is needed.<ul>

VIRGO | August 25
The sun moves through Virgo season during the season of harvest, from August 23 to September 22nd.&nbsp; This mutable earth sign bridges the gap between summer and autumn. Symbolized by the young Maiden holding a staff of wheat, Virgo brings attention to health, preparation, and preservation. Discernment, details, and purification come to the forefront of our awareness so we can learn, adapt, and refine our purpose with love, patience, and care.&nbsp;


Astrology + Yoga is a signature class designed to help us understand and work with the energy of the current zodiac season,&nbsp;regardless of what sign we were born under. Each month, the sun moves through a different sign, influencing collective themes, emotional tendencies, and areas of growth that we all experience in some way. By exploring these energies consciously, we can better understand ourselves, our patterns, and the natural rhythms unfolding around us.
Each zodiac sign is also associated with specific areas of the body and carries unique qualities, strengths, and lessons. Together, we’ll explore how these cosmic influences may show up physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically. Through a thoughtfully designed yoga practice, meditation, affirmations, essential oils, journaling prompts, and altar suggestions, we’ll create space to embody and connect with the season's wisdom.
The phrase “As above, so below” reminds us that the universe and the individual are deeply interconnected, reflecting one another. These gatherings are not about predicting the future or needing extensive astrological knowledge. Instead, they are an opportunity to slow down, observe the energies present within and around us, and use them as tools for greater self-awareness, grounding, balance, and personal growth.
You are invited to come dressed comfortably and wear anything that helps you feel comfortable when lying down and moving. Please bring a yoga mat and an optional notebook or journal to record reflections, insights, and intentions.
When you register, you may pay for a single session, use a class credit from a package, or use your monthly membership.
Please note that no refunds will be provided. If you need to cancel, your credit may be applied toward a future event at the studio. However, if you do not cancel and do not attend, your credit will be forfeited.

The chakra system offers a powerful framework for understanding ourselves more fully. Each chakra represents a different aspect of our human experience, providing insight into our relationship with safety, creativity, confidence, love, communication, intuition, and connection.
In this special 90-minute experience, we will explore the seven primary chakras through a thoughtfully designed yoga practice, breathwork, meditation, and self-reflection. As we move through each energy center, participants will be invited to notice what feels balanced, what may feel depleted, and where there may be opportunities for growth, healing, or deeper awareness.
This practice is an invitation to become more curious about yourself and the many layers of your being—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The chakra system serves as a map, helping us better understand our patterns, needs, strengths, and areas that may be calling for attention.
The experience will conclude with an extended guided chakra meditation and deep relaxation, allowing time to integrate the practice and reconnect with inner harmony.
Whether you are new to the chakras or have explored them before, this class offers an opportunity to slow down, turn inward, and cultivate greater clarity, balance, and connection to yourself. You may leave with a deeper understanding of where you are in this moment and what you need to move forward with greater ease and intention.<h4>Please Note</h4>

As the vibrant energy of summer begins to fade and the days grow shorter, nature reminds us that change is inevitable. Autumn is a season of transition—a time when cooler temperatures, increased wind, changing routines, and the return to busier schedules can leave us feeling scattered, anxious, depleted, or out of balance.
According to Ayurveda, the ancient science of health and longevity, this time of year is closely associated with Vata dosha, which is characterized by the qualities of dryness, lightness, movement, and change. When these qualities become excessive, we may experience symptoms such as anxiety, overwhelm, difficulty sleeping, dry skin, digestive irregularity, increased stress, or a feeling of being ungrounded.
Join us for an informative and practical workshop designed to help you navigate the seasonal transition with greater ease and awareness. Together, we will explore the foundational principles of Ayurveda and learn how to adapt our daily habits to support balance during the autumn months.
During this session, you will learn:
<ul>
<li>The qualities and characteristics of the autumn season through an Ayurvedic lens</li>
<li>How seasonal changes can influence the doshas, particularly Vata</li><li>Common signs of imbalance that may arise during this time of year</li><li>Nutrition and lifestyle practices that promote grounding, nourishment, and stability</li><li>Seasonal self-care rituals to support digestion, sleep, energy, and emotional well-being</li><li>Simple ways to incorporate Ayurvedic wisdom into your daily routine</li>
</ul>The changing seasons offer an opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign with our body's natural rhythms. By understanding how the environment influences our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, we can make small, intentional adjustments that help us feel more balanced, resilient, and supported throughout the season.Ayurvedic Practices for Early Autumn | Tuesday 9/1 | 7:45 - 8:45 PM | $35

Many women spend their days caring for others, solving problems, meeting deadlines, managing households, and carrying responsibilities that often go unseen. Yet few of us have spaces where we can simply show up, be ourselves, and be heard.
This Women's Circle is an opportunity to pause, step away from the demands of daily life, and gather in meaningful conversation with other women. It is not a class, a support group, or a networking event. Rather, it is a space for authentic connection, reflection, listening, and sharing.
Each gathering is centered around a thoughtful theme, question, or topic that invites personal reflection and conversation. There is no expectation to have the "right" answer, offer advice, or fix anyone's problems. Instead, we practice something that is increasingly rare: being fully present with ourselves and one another.
You are welcome to share, listen, journal, or simply observe. Participation is always optional. What matters most is your presence.
Whether you are seeking connection, navigating a life transition, feeling overwhelmed, or simply longing for deeper conversations than those found in everyday life, this circle offers a place to slow down, be witnessed, and remember that you do not have to carry everything alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling a little more connected—to yourself, to others, and to the wisdom that emerges when women gather.&nbsp;<h4>Please Note</h4>
<ul>
<li>Come dressed comfortably with your yoga mat and anything that helps you feel comfortable.</li>
<li>We will have chairs available for easy sitting.</li>
<li>Please consider bringing a journal and something to write with.&nbsp;</li>
<li>We will need at least 5 participants to run this class. Please register in advance.</li>

If you're feeling hesitant, especially about needles, you're not alone—but there's no need to worry. Most donors describe the sensation as a brief, mild pinch. The entire process is safe, quick, and carefully monitored by trained professionals. From start to finish, giving blood typically takes less than an hour, and afterward, you’ll leave not only with a snack but with the powerful knowledge that your single donation could help save up to three lives.

What if the intentions you plant now could take root in the quiet of the season and guide you through the months ahead?
Autumn invites us to slow down, reflect, and release what is no longer needed. As the leaves fall and the energy of nature turns inward, we are offered a powerful opportunity to listen more deeply and reconnect with what truly matters. This 90-minute session is designed to align with that natural rhythm, supporting you in creating a sankalpa, a heartfelt intention that arises from your deepest truth.
We will begin with a guided reflection to help you turn inward and uncover what is ready to be honored, released, or cultivated. From there, you will craft a personal sankalpa, a steady and meaningful intention to carry with you through the season.
Our practice will continue with a slow, grounding asana sequence designed to embody and support your intention, helping you feel rooted, steady, and connected. We will close with a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra practice, allowing your sankalpa to settle into the subconscious, where it can gently take root and grow.
Class Structure 20 minutes | Guided reflection and creation of your personal sankalpa 35 minutes | Grounding, intention-centered asana practice 35 minutes | Yoga Nidra for integration and deep rest

Come plant the seeds of intention, release what you are ready to let go of, and trust in what is unfolding.You are invited to come dressed comfortably, bring your yoga mat, and wear anything that helps you feel comfortable when lying down. Pillows, blankets, a sleeping bag... the sky is the limit. Plan to bring a sweater, an extra blanket, or a wrap to keep warm while&nbsp;you rest.

At Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois (MOWFNI), we are dedicated to helping our senior neighbors live independently, safely, and with dignity in the homes they love.

If you have just two hours a week to spare, you can make a profound difference. Delivering meals fits seamlessly into a midday routine or lunch break.

We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to volunteer weekly, monthly, or as part of a team with coworkers or friends. Our Core Programs: Home-Delivered Meals: We provide hot, dietitian-approved meals delivered directly to the doorsteps of those who cannot cook or shop for themselves. Community Cafes: Beyond home delivery, our vibrant Community Cafes offer a welcoming space for active older adults to gather, enjoy a delicious lunch, socialize, and build meaningful friendships that combat senior isolation. Make a Local Impact Today When you support or volunteer with MOWFNI, you are directly investing in the health and happiness of older adults right here in our neighborhood. Whether you are looking to give back during retirement, connect with your community, or get your local business involved in a meaningful cause, there is a place for you in our volunteer family. Join us in delivering more than a meal. Visit mowfni.org/volunteer-sign-up to fill out a brief volunteer application, or call us today to learn how you can start changing lives—one hour, one smile, and one senior at a time.
