Details

This session brings two practices together in a single experience. Oceana Baity's grounded Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra guidance while Laura Hoffman moves through the room offering Thai massage and acupressure — working simultaneously layer a restorative practice neither could achieve alone.

The session draws on principles from Chinese Medicine, with a focus on nourishing yin: replenishing the body's reserves through stillness, gentle touch, and deep rest.

Spaces are limited to ensure each participant receives individual attention.

What's included

Mats, blankets, eye masks, and bolsters are included.

The inspiration

Sleep, digestion, and emotional steadiness are yin functions, and most of us are running a deficit. Yin and restorative yoga work directly on that deficit. Long, supported holds and slow breathing shift the body out of its stress response and into the parasympathetic "rest and digest" state, the same state the body needs to fall asleep and stay asleep. This is a rare format where yin and restorative yoga combined with hands-on bodywork in a group setting, facilitated by two practitioners whose work is precise and complementary, help you feel deeply rested in a way that's difficult to achieve alone.

Co-hosted with

Oceana Baity is a restorative yoga teacher and licensed acupuncturist who helps people slow down, settle the nervous system, and return to deep, restful sleep. Raised in Northern California and based in New York City for nearly three decades, she began practicing yoga in college, where breathwork and mindful movement became a steady anchor for presence and inner attunement.

That curiosity led her to acupuncture. She earned her Master's degree in 2011 and specializes in gentle protocols for nervous system regulation, stress, and hormonal balance, which are all foundations of better rest. Her sessions are integrative and intuitive, weaving restorative movement, breathwork, Reiki, and aromatherapy to help the body soften and let go.

Oceana believes rest is something the body already knows how to do. Her role is to help you remember it.
