October is here — and she’s serving up healing, heart, and hella growth. 💥It’s National Book Month 📚, Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀, World Menopause Day, and World Mental Health Day lands right in the middle of it all. Basically, it’s a big, beautiful invitation to come home to your body, mind, and heart.
This month, we’re leaning into resilience, connection, and that sweet, messy magic of rising up and breaking open together.
🌟 Featured Class: Rise Up, Break Open with Gilayna
October asks us to dig deeeeep, to rise in resilience, to break open the walls we’ve built, and to reconnect with ourselves and each other.
In Rise Up, Break Open, Gilayna leads a fiery, heart-centered flow blending strength with surrender. This practice is about more than movement. It’s about healing through breath, honoring your body’s resilience, and connecting beyond the mat.
You’ll move through what feels heavy, release what’s been holding you back, and tap into freedom that comes when you let yourself break open..... raw, real, and radiant.
✨ Because when we rise together, we heal together.
Upcoming Events
🧠 World Mental Health Day x Mental Wealth Night
Guided by Jazz | October 10 @715p
In honor of World Mental Health Day 💚Join Jazz for a free community class focusing on the benefits of somatic movement in regulating the nervous system.
Yoga is somatic movement. When you move your body with intention, you’re not just stretching muscles, you’re stretching your capacity for calm. Come breathe, move, and reset your system with us.
💞 Yin x Yang: The Art of Touch — Boo’d Up
Guided by Jazz | October 17 @ 630P
A sensual exploration of touch as medicine. Through the lens of somatic awareness, we’ll move through practices that awaken the body’s natural intelligence, soothe the nervous system, and build trust within and with others. Expect slow movement, partnered stretching, and lots of giggles. Come in your spiciest or silliest costume with your boo!
🌊 Waves x Worth: A Celebration of Timeless Sensuality
Guided by Leona | October 18 @ 630P
This one's all about reclaiming your sensual self. Through movement, music, and somatic expression, we’ll explore how sensuality evolves through every season and shape — especially through perimenopause and menopause.
October 18 is also World Menopause Day, making this the perfect reminder that your body is not betraying you, it’s transforming. Somatic movement through these transitions helps you meet your body with softness and curiosity instead of resistance.
📚 Soul Circle Book Club | Launching This Month

🌀Active Meditation for Anxiety & Nervous System Regulation:
October is all about rising, breaking open, and reconnecting — and sometimes our nervous system needs a little extra love. Anxiety often shows up as tight shoulders, jittery energy, or racing thoughts. This month, we’re moving it through.
🕯️ Set your sacred-but-cheeky space: Put on music that makes your body want to move — soulful beats or head-bopping jams.
💃 Shake it, sway it, roll it out: Move hands, shoulders, spine, and hips. Every wiggle sends stress packing.
🌬️ Breathe with the motion: Inhale as you lift, exhale as you release — helping your nervous system shift from fight-or-flight to rest-and-reset.
🎤 Vocal release (optional but magic): Hum, sing, or shout a word like “I am safe,” “I release,” or even a cheeky "fucccck yes.”
🧘♀️ Close with stillness: After 5–10 minutes, pause, notice your body, and feel the calm settle in. That’s your nervous system giving you a high-five.
✨ Soul + Cheek Insight: Movement is meditation, meditation is medicine, and medicine is playful. Anxiety doesn’t stand a chance when your body is moving, breathing, and vibing with your soul.
✨ Soul Note
Healing isn’t linear. Rising up isn’t perfect. Breaking open isn’t painless. And connecting? That’s the magic in the messy moments.
Every crack in your armor is also a doorway — to your fire, your freedom, and your people. 💖
