It’s about intentionally shaping the life you are already living. \nBhavana is the yogic practice of cultivating a heartfelt vision. It is the art of orienting your mind\, energy\, and actions toward what you are becoming\, while releasing what no longer serves you. \nJoin Katie and Allison for Living The Dream: A 1-Day Bhavana Retreat\, a nourishing in-studio experience designed to help you clear residual patterns from the past year\, clarify what truly matters\, and consciously align with the life you want to live now. This immersive six-hour retreat blends yoga\, meditation\, reflection\, creative integration\, and deep rest to support clarity\, embodiment\, and sustainable change. \nThe afternoon begins with a grounding opening circle and an intentional yoga practice focused on releasing old beliefs\, habits\, and emotional residue. From there\, you will be guided through the practice of bhavana\, learning how to clarify your intentions\, connect with how you want to feel\, and translate vision into meaningful\, realistic action. \nThrough guided meditation\, discussion\, journaling\, and a hands-on bhavana integration activity\, you will create a personalized vision that supports key areas of your life\, including self-care\, relationships\, lifestyle\, family\, career\, and purpose. The day concludes with a deeply restorative and receptive practice\, allowing your intentions to settle into the body and nervous system\, followed by a closing circle to share and integrate. \nThroughout the retreat\, you’ll be nourished with tea\, snacks\, and a catered lunch\, and receive printed materials to support reflection and integration beyond the day. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Workshop Details\n \n \n \n \n \n Pricing:\n\n$235 (early bird – before 1/21)\n$265 (between 1/22 and 1/31)\n$295 (day of)\n\nDate:\n\nSunday\, February 1st 12:30 – 6:30 pm PT\nIn-Studio | Space Limited\n\n \n \n \n \n \n What’s Included\n \n \n \n \n \n \nOpening and closing circles\nAll-levels\, gentle yoga practice focused on release and renewal\nBhavana discussion\, goal setting\, and guided meditation\nCreation of your bhavana vision board\nRestorative and reflective practice\nTea\, snacks\, and catered lunch\nPrinted handouts and reflection materials\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n12:30–12:45 PM Introductions\, opening circle\, and intention setting\n12:45–2:00 PM Yoga practice with Allison focused on releasing the past year\, followed by a short journaling meditation\n2:00–2:30 PM Bhavana discussion\, goal setting\, and introduction to the integration activity\n2:30–2:45 PM Guided bhavana meditation with Katie\, orienting the mind toward your goals through visualization \n2:45–3:30 PM Bhavana integration activity and vision board creation\n3:30–4:15 PM Catered lunch\n4:15–5:00 PM Group discussion to identify roadblocks\, areas of clarity\, and opportunities for alignment\n5:00–6:00 PM Restorative and receiving practice\n6:00–6:30 PM Sharing\, closing circle\, and integration\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click To Register\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Allison Martin Prince C-IAYT\, E-RYT 500\, CMT\n This workshop is led by Allison Prince.

As a teacher\, I hope to share the healing aspect of yoga to anyone who is in need of it. I love teaching Yoga because I not only get to contribute to a student’s yoga journey as a guide but also as a witness to the growth and progression they experience through their practice.\n \nMy teaching style is gentle Yin-inspired Restorative Yoga with elements of Viniyoga.  URL:https://bethechangeyoga.com/event/2-24-healthy-treats-with-5-ingredients-or-less/ LOCATION:Be The Change Yoga\, 14988 Sand Canyon Ave\, Studio 5\, Irvine\, CA\, 92618\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bethechangeyoga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Baking-Workshop1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Be The Change Yoga Staff":MAILTO:hello@bethechangeyoga.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260227T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260227T200000 DTSTAMP:20260430T041223 CREATED:20240315T214646Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260129T230439Z UID:10000503-1772215200-1772222400@bethechangeyoga.com SUMMARY:2/27 Kirtan with Rob and Melissa + Community Potluck DESCRIPTION:Kirtan with Rob and Melissa\nWe are so excited to welcome our dear friends Rob and Melissa who are visiting from Seattle\, WA. They love singing devotional mantra music and lead retreats to India and Costa Rica annually. We’ll start the evening with a community potluck in the Tea House from 6:00 – 6:30PM. Please bring a vegetarian dish or beverage for sharing.\n \n \nWe hope you will join us for kirtan; which is a live music experience of call and response chanting. It’s a bhakti yoga practice designed to focus the mind\, open the heart\, and elevate your spirits. It is a joyful practice open to students of all backgrounds and religions. The sounds / mantras are often in the language of Sanskrit; which is a vibrational language.\n \nIf you have not yet experienced the practice of kirtan\, we can’t recommend it more highly. It invites us to transcend our egos\, to become playful\, join our voices and sing from the heart tapping into the mystical power of mantras that have been recited for thousands of years.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Workshop Details\n \n \n \n \n \n  \n\nLed by Rob and Melissa\nFriday\, February 27th\n6:00 – 6:30 PM Community Potluck\n6:30 – 8:00 PM Kirtan\nEarly bird $25 / Day of $30\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register for Event!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rob and Melissa\, Yoga Teachers & Kirtan Wallahs\n When we met\, which was before we discovered kirtan\, we mutually agreed to place devotion at the forefront of our relationship. It was so important to us\, we even created our first mantra (little did we know) to support it\, “Be Nice and Have Fun!” As the seeds of devotion grew\, we naturally gravitated toward the beautiful\, heart-opening practices of Bhakti Yoga and kirtan. \nClick to learn more about Rob and Melissa URL:https://bethechangeyoga.com/event/2-27-kirtan-with-rob-and-melissa/ LOCATION:Be The Change Yoga\, 14988 Sand Canyon Ave\, Studio 5\, Irvine\, CA\, 92618\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bethechangeyoga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Rob-and-Melissa.png ORGANIZER;CN="Be The Change Yoga Staff":MAILTO:hello@bethechangeyoga.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
