This gathering is really about feeling back into your body—slowly, gently, moment by moment. It’s about owning your practice, not as a performance or something to check off, but as a deep journey of self-exploration and self-expression.

Through mindful movement, breath, sound, and more, we’ll create a space for you to reset—right in the middle of the year.

No pressure. No expectations. Just the freedom to be exactly who you are, right here, right now.
It’s an invitation to create lasting change from the inside out—through embodiment, not just intention.
To shift from striving and survival into ease, clarity, and emotional freedom that stays with you beyond the mat or the moment.
Because when your nervous system feels safe, and your energy is aligned,
inner peace isn’t just a fleeting feeling — it becomes your new baseline.
You’ll experience:
Intention setting + affirmation practice to open the space
High-energy, low-impact Pilates to awaken strength and mobilize your spine
Sound Healing to soothe your nervous system and expand stillness
Breathwork to clear energetic blockages and reset your system

What if I’m not “good” at Pilates or haven’t moved in a while?

Whether you’re new to breathwork or sound healing, or you simply want a restorative break in your day, this session offers a safe and welcoming space to recharge and realign.
Come as you are, bring a cozy blanket or cushion, and give yourself the gift of gentle restoration.

Come as You Are Vision Fundraising For Our Continuing Journey in The Space
💛 Rooted in Resonance 💛 A Mid-Year Fundraiser to Keep Our Healing Space Alive
Thank you for all the love and support you’ve poured into our studio. These past few months brought unexpected challenges — including a pest issue in the back room — which slowed our momentum. But the issue is now resolved, and this sacred space is ready to hold us again.
Now, I’m calling in community support to keep this space open through July and beyond.
For so many of us, this studio has become a second home — a space for sound, breath, stillness, and deep transformation. To continue renting and offering this space to those who need it, I’m hosting a small but meaningful fundraising campaign.
✨ It only takes 2 full classes per week to sustain the space. ✨
With your presence, energy, and support, we can keep this vision alive.
How You Can Help:
🌿 Join one (or more!) of the 10 special healing classes this July — each one is a love letter to this community.
💛 Donate if you can’t attend: Venmo @tongcomeasyouare
📣 Share this invitation with friends who might be called to join.
Every dollar, every breath, every class helps sustain a space that holds healing, creativity, and connection for everyone who walks through the door.
🌿 This Vision Fund Will Support:
💡 Energy + Operational Relief from navigating the pest crisis while keeping the space open for the funder.
🏠 $6,000 in Rent Support to stabilize the studio and prevent closure during this transition period
💛 Sustaining a Home for Over 5,000+ Visitors who’ve come here to rest, breathe, and transform
This makes the total fundraising goal of $6,000–$10,000 feel transparent and deeply rooted in both community impact and transformation.
Would you like this added to a donation landing page or visual flyer? I can help you design that too.
📆 Dates: June 25 – July 31

Anger’s resonance is the Spring time, the wood element, the liver, and the gallbladder. The liver controls the smooth flow of blood and qi in our bodies, therefore in charge of regulating our emotions and menstrual cycles.
Do you want to learn how to dissolve numbness in your body and embrace your fullest embodiment? In this workshop, we will be talking about Chinese medicine’s role in healing stuck emotions and what happens in the body/womb for women when do not express our anger, grief, frustration, and voice.
We will be tapping into ways to connect with our emotions through somatic breath work and movement, sound healing, meditation, and vocal activation. We will also have sharing circle for women to share their experience in the presence of the community.
