Saturday
June 20
1–3 pm
Join us for an intimate afternoon of beauty, reflection, and nervous system support as we gather to celebrate the Summer Solstice and our 1 year anniversary.
Inspired by Summer and the Fire element in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this experience explores a different approach to wellness — one rooted in authentic expression, joy, warmth, and meaningful connection without burnout.
We’re bringing together four women practitioners, each creating a unique experience designed to support restoration, connection, and intentional living.

Dr. Sanjana Ramesh
YOGA INSTRUCTOR, MPH, PhD
Sanjana is a Chicago-based yoga instructor with over six years of teaching experience. She was exposed to Yoga at a young age, but fell deeply in love with the practice during her doctoral degree. With an MPH and PhD in Health Communication, Sanjana is passionate about sharing the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga. As an Indian immigrant, she teaches with a deep commitment to its traditional and ancestral foundations, with a special focus on pranayama (breath work) practices. Her breath-to-movement, dance-like flows are intentionally crafted to strike the perfect balance between abhyasa (effort) and vairagya (release). For Sanjana, the connection and equilibrium between these two forces is where the true magic of yoga unfolds.
