Hi Dear Yogis,

As Thanksgiving approaches, my heart is full. I’ve been reflecting deeply on community, on the way you show up, breathe together, move together, rest together, and create a shared field of compassion and curiosity. I learn so much from each of you every single week, and I am profoundly grateful for your continued love and support. You make this work meaningful.

I also want to express special gratitude to my husband, Steve, who quietly supports every class and sound event, from Zoom tech to folding blankets at weekend sessions, tuning instruments, setting up sound equipment, and managing the behind-the-scenes setup that makes each offering so lovely. His devotion allows me to serve you with ease and joy.

And heartfelt thanks to Melissa Hovey, whose gatherings at Stonehill Farm remain some of my most cherished events of the year. Her land, food, hospitality, and grounded presence nourish me deeply — body, mind, and spirit.

Peace on Earth: Restorative Sound Journey

Downers Grove • Yoga by Degrees

A gentle, seasonal reframing of my Restorative Sound Journey - soft, wintry, peaceful.

We’ll settle into restorative shapes before dropping into a long, immersive sound bath featuring:

• Crystal bowls & pyramids
• Tibetan & Nepalese bowls
• Planetary & wind gongs
• Chimes & intuitive percussion
• Monochord & harmonium

A serene journey toward stillness and a heartfelt sense of peace on Earth.

Important Registration Note for the Winter Solstice Offering

To create a grounded and energetically balanced space, please register at least 24 hours in advance.
A minimum of 10 participants is required for the event to run. If we don’t reach that number, I reserve the right to cancel the evening beforehand — though I truly hope this circle will be full so we can honor the Solstice together.

Your early sign-up helps so much and ensures this special seasonal ritual can unfold with care.

With deep warmth and Thanksgiving gratitude,
Kristin
🕉️ Servant of Sound
