Sunset Yoga on the Ranch

Our popular Sunset Yoga on the Ranch is back with a teaser in June and again in the fall!

Join Kathleen Epler, LSW, for trauma-informed, relaxation yoga on top of our hill on Friday evening from 7-8pm. End the week by taking in some beautiful views at our ranch and reconnecting with yourself.

From Kathleen:

I am delighted to partner with Take Heart Counseling again to offer Sunset Yoga on the Ranch.
Nature has always been so healing to me; in 2007 I took my first yoga class and was hooked.
Over the years I have practiced many different styles of yoga including vinyasa, yin, restorative, flow, to name a few.
The thing that always brought me back to my mat was a sense of community, the breathe practice and being in a place of non-judgement.
I met my first yoga therapist in 2013 after having surgery for the first time. My practice shifted; mindfulness and self-love intertwined with movement.
In 2023 I decided to go from student to teacher and took my 200 hr trauma informed yoga teacher training with yoga farm ithaca.

Yoga is for “every body” and I hope you will join me in learning to settle into your body, expand your breath, & come to a place of relaxation.
Together we will move gently, take in the beauty of the farm and learn to rest in connection with each other.
