There are times in life when things feel especially heavy or uncertain. Sometimes it comes from events happening in the wider world, and sometimes from the quieter challenges within our own lives.

During seasons like this, many people find it helpful to return to simple practices that bring them back into the present moment — stepping outside, moving the body gently, breathing more deeply, or spending time in quiet reflection.

At Shanti Yoga Love in Ashtabula County, Ohio, we offer a variety of practices designed to support that sense of steadiness and reconnection.

Some are weekly classes, while others are small gatherings offered monthly or seasonally, along with private sessions for those who prefer a more individualized experience.

Weekly Practices to Support Body and Mind

Our weekly classes are designed to support different needs, experience levels, and energy states.

Some practices emphasize movement and vitality, such as Kundalini Yoga or Slow Flow Yoga.

Others focus on strength and functional mobility through supportive formats like Chair Yoga, wall-supported practices, and mindful stretch and strength classes.

There are also classes dedicated to rest and nervous system reset, including restorative yoga and reflective practices designed to help the body unwind.

Group classes at Shanti Yoga Love are guided with a trauma-informed approach.

Students are offered options, encouraged to move at their own pace, and supported in a way that respects personal agency and choice. This trauma-informed style of teaching helps create a welcoming environment for people who may feel hesitant about group settings or who are seeking a trauma-informed yoga experience in Ashtabula County, Ohio.

Many classes also offer a Live Online option, allowing students to practice from wherever they are.

Workshops to Support Reflection and Learning

In addition to weekly classes, Shanti Yoga Love offers small-group workshops throughout the year that explore different aspects of holistic wellness.

These gatherings may include offerings such as:

Forest Bathing & Cacao Rituals
Monthly opportunities to slow down in nature and reconnect through mindful observation, reflection, and intention-setting.

Holistic Wellness Series Workshops
Seasonal workshops exploring topics such as aromatherapy, herbal traditions, and other practices that support everyday wellbeing.

The Stone Series
A newer addition to the Holistic Wellness Series, exploring gemstones through a grounded and educational lens and incorporating simple intention-based practices.

Workshops and special gatherings are announced through the weekly studio newsletter and posted on the schedule page.

Private Wellness Sessions

For those who prefer a more individualized experience, private sessions are also available.

These offerings support relaxation, reflection, and personal wellbeing in a more focused setting.

Private services include:

Reiki
Energy-based relaxation sessions designed to support balance and nervous system regulation.
