Breathe into your HeartAgain
2025-05-21 19:00 - 20:15, 2025-08-14 19:15 - 20:30 (America/Denver) | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Your breath gives you control over your state of mind and your body’s chemistry. Working with your breath can be a transformational practice that reduces stress and anxiety, help to overcome trauma, regulate your nervous system and provide an overall sense of well-being and relaxation.
I will give a full description of what you might expect before we start the practice. It is important to me that you are fully aware of what class will look like and that you know you are in full control of your experience. You will get out of the practice what you are willing to put into it.
I teach circular breath-work or conscious, connected breathing that involves breathing through the mouth in a circular pattern. We will breathe in this way actively for close to 30 minutes or about 6-8 songs. After the active breathing is complete, you will have plenty of time to reflect and be with yourself.
What to bring:

Comfortable clothing that isn’t too tight
Water bottle, as hydration is important
An open mind
A Journal for after class if you wish

We can provide these if you do not bring your own:

Yoga Mat
Blanket (body temperature can fluctuate during breathwork)
Bolster
Eye Pillow

Therapeutic Yoga Workshop
2025-06-01 15:00 - 17:00, 2025-07-06 15:00 - 17:00, 2025-11-09 15:00 - 17:00 | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
We will have two hours during which we move at the pace of the nervous system, supporting the structural body to release excess holding in the joints and the organs.
Therapeutic yoga is deeply nourishing for all systems of the body—circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine, and importantly the nervous system, bringing about more openness to the body and mind.
This workshop is perfect for athletes and others who rarely take time to slow down. We invite you to take this opportunity to support your parasympathetic nervous system and gain true restfulness!

Crystal Bowl Sound Bath
2025-06-03 19:00 - 20:00 | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Experience the transformative power of sound with Andrea Ouimet of Alpine Sound Therapy in an immersive sound bath session designed to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit. This meditative journey utilizes the resonant frequencies of crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, and other therapeutic instruments to foster deep relaxation and holistic healing.
What Is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience that uses therapeutic sound waves to promote relaxation, healing, and mindfulness. Unlike traditional meditation, which often focuses on breath or mantras, sound baths envelop participants in resonant sounds from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes, encouraging the mind to relax and the body to release tension.
The Instruments: Crystal Singing Bowls and Tuning Forks

Crystal singing bowls, made from pure quartz, emit powerful, pure tones that resonate with the body’s energy centers, or chakras. These vibrations can help clear blockages and restore balance, facilitating a state of harmony and well-being.
Tuning forks, another key instrument in sound therapy, produce specific frequencies that can stimulate healing processes. When activated, they can help reduce stress, alleviate pain, and promote emotional balance by entraining the body’s systems to their natural rhythms.
Benefits of Sound Bath Therapy
Participants in sound bath sessions often report a range of benefits, including:

Deep Relaxation: The soothing sounds can lower heart rate and blood pressure, inducing a state of calm.
Stress Reduction: Sound therapy can help decrease cortisol levels, alleviating stress and anxiety.
Enhanced Sleep Quality: By promoting relaxation, sound baths can improve sleep patterns.
Emotional Release: The immersive experience can facilitate the release of suppressed emotions, leading to emotional clarity.
Improved Focus and Clarity: The meditative state achieved can enhance mental clarity and concentration.

Scientific studies have shown that sound meditation can reduce tension, anxiety, and depression, while increasing spiritual well-being.
What to Expect During the Session
Upon arrival, you’ll be guided to a comfortable position, either lying down or seated, with optional blankets and eye masks to enhance relaxation. The session begins with a brief focus on breath, followed by a progression of sounds from various instruments. These sounds are designed to guide you into a meditative state, allowing for deep relaxation and inner exploration.
Reserve Your Spot
Embark on a journey of sound and healing with Andrea Ouimet. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or a deeper connection to yourself, this sound bath session offers a sanctuary for rejuvenation. Spaces are limited to ensure an intimate and personalized experience.

Iyengar Workshop: Twists
2025-06-08 15:00 - 17:00 | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Join us at Thrive Yoga Crested Butte for an immersive exploration of twisting postures in our upcoming Iyengar Yoga Workshop: Twists. This workshop is designed for yogis with at least one year of consistent yoga practice and will guide you into the nuanced world of revolving poses, or twists. Twisting asanas are a foundational aspect of Iyengar Yoga, known for their precision, structural intelligence, and profound physical and energetic benefits.
What to Expect
Twisting poses are more than just spinal movements. In Iyengar Yoga, these asanas are approached with attention to alignment and anatomical integrity. By integrating props—bolsters, blocks, straps, and chairs—we will create a supportive environment that allows each participant to find proper alignment and explore the depth of each posture safely and effectively. Each pose will be broken down methodically, with options for modification to suit individual needs. This workshop is not about intensity—it’s about precision, awareness, and awakening subtle movement patterns.
Why Twist?
Twisting poses offer a wide array of physical and mental benefits:

Spinal Mobility & Health: Twisting stimulates the intervertebral discs and encourages a healthy range of motion.

Digestive Support: Revolving poses gently massage the abdominal organs, stimulating digestion and elimination.
Stress Relief & Nervous System Support: Twists balance the parasympathetic nervous system and relieve tension.

Improved Posture & Core Stability: Twisting activates core musculature, supporting spinal alignment.
Energetic Cleansing: Twists are thought to release emotional and physical blockages, leaving the practitioner feeling refreshed.

Registration
This workshop is limited in capacity to ensure a focused and personalized experience. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot.
Give your body a fresh perspective and your mind a breath of clarity through the art of twisting. Whether you’re seeking physical renewal, digestive support, or simply a clearer mental space, twisting poses have something powerful to offer. We look forward to sharing the practice with you.

Whether you are completely new to the practice or have worked with a yoni egg before, this workshop will guide you gently and safely into deeper awareness of your sensual and energetic body.

The practice fosters pelvic floor strength, emotional release, increased circulation, and enhanced sensitivity. It’s an invitation to return to yourself, honor your sacred anatomy, and cultivate self-love and presence.
What You’ll Experience

Breathwork and Meditation: Learn breath techniques that activate your root and sacral chakras, calm the nervous system, and build energetic awareness throughout your body.
Yoni Egg Education and Integration: Receive guidance on how to use the yoni egg safely and respectfully within your body. You’ll be supported in understanding the energetic and physical benefits of this ancient practice and how to integrate it into your regular self-care or yoga routine.
Ritual and Reflection: Engage in guided ritual that honors feminine wisdom and creates space for intention-setting, emotional release, and self-healing. This ceremonial aspect creates a sacred container for your personal journey.

Who This Workshop is For
This workshop is open to all women—no prior yoga or yoni egg experience is necessary. It is especially supportive for those looking to:

Strengthen and tone the pelvic floor muscles
Reconnect with feminine energy and sensuality
Release emotional blockages stored in the body
Improve sexual vitality and intimacy
Cultivate self-love, empowerment, and body confidence

What to Bring

Yoni eggs and oil will be available for use or purchase at the studio if you do not have your own.

Therapeutic Yoga Workshop
2025-08-03 15:00 - 17:00 | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Therapeutic yoga for the nervous system is a powerful practice that invites deep rest and gentle healing. In this special two-hour workshop, we’ll move intentionally and mindfully, guided by the rhythm of the nervous system rather than the clock. This slow and conscious approach creates space for the structural body to release long-held tension—especially in the joints and organs—bringing about profound calm and rejuvenation.As we tune in to the body’s subtle signals, we begin to access the parasympathetic nervous system—the rest and digest state responsible for recovery, balance, and renewal. Therapeutic yoga supports the full spectrum of your body’s systems, including the circulatory, lymphatic, and endocrine systems, but its greatest benefit may be how it nourishes the nervous system. When the nervous system feels safe and supported, the entire body opens, softens, and heals from the inside out.
This workshop is a sanctuary for those who live active, demanding lives—especially athletes and others who may rarely slow down enough to truly rest. While high-performance training often emphasizes strength, endurance, and speed, true wellness also includes restoration and mindful stillness. Therapeutic yoga bridges this gap by offering a gentle yet effective practice that complements physical activity and aids in recovery.
Whether you’re recovering from a high-intensity season, experiencing chronic stress, or simply longing for stillness, this practice is an invitation to come home to yourself. You will be guided through postures that emphasize comfort and support, using props to fully relax the body so the mind can follow. Breathwork, somatic awareness, and guided rest will all be part of this nurturing experience.
By the end of our time together, participants often report a sense of openness—not just in the body, but in the heart and mind as well. This is the magic of therapeutic yoga for the nervous system: a practice that rebalances you at every level and leaves you feeling calm, clear, and deeply rested.
Join us in this unique opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life, reset your internal rhythms, and reconnect with your most peaceful self.
Why Choose Therapeutic Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga Class to Celebrate the Equinox
2025-09-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
In this class celebrating the autumnal equinox we will focus on the timely themes of transformation and release.
The Kundalini practice integrates our eternal, infinite selves with our bodily, material selves. We will use a combination of pranayama (breathwork), kriyas (dynamic actions for a specific purpose), meditation, and mantras which help direct the mind into positivity.
While we chant a mantra, the subconscious mind releases its garbage—all that we’ve unknowingly accumulated—allowing us to then come into greater presence with ourselves. The intention is to come into union with our essential Selves.
During the practice we are “purified” with both demanding and easeful exercises, relaxation, silent meditation and mantra vocalizations. Come home to yourself with this practice of Kundalini Yoga.

Breathwork Journey

Experience Deep Energetic Clearing
Intention • Soundscapes • Plant Spirit Guidance • Integration
Join us for a powerful guided breathwork meditation designed to clear stagnant energy and realign you with your natural self. This simple, yet prolonged, 3-part breath technique stimulates hormones and new brain wave lengths, guiding you into a deeply meditative, introspective state during this extended ceremony. It’s called a journey because, similar to a psychedelic journey, each breathwork session takes you on an inner voyage, guided by your own body, into release, insight, and deeper connection, while maintaining complete awareness and control of yourself.
Each journey is unique. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded.
Guided by Certified Breathwork Facilitator, Keela Gendron, the experience is supported with intentional music and soundscapes, light natural plant aromas, and a safe, nurturing environment. We end the journey intentionally, slowly, and with integration.
No experience necessary!

“The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”

Thanksgiving Slow Flow Benefit Class to support CB State of Mind
2025-11-27 08:45 - 10:00 | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Join Lilavati on Thanksgiving morning to support CB State of Mind and their amazing contributions to our community!
We will move slowly and mindfully and give thanks to our bodies and breath as we join together in practice.
Slow Flow is a mindful, slower paced yoga class that is meditative and emphasizes peace and calmness of body and mind. Poses are held for a longer period of time to teach principles of proper physical and energetic alignment. This means that you can plan on taking several rounds of breath in each pose, instead of moving to each breath.
This class is approachable for both beginners and more experienced students. It is a great place to start if you are new to flow-style yoga or anyone wanting a methodically paced class that still emphasizes the connection between breath and movement.

Therapeutic Yoga Workshop
2025-12-07 15:00 - 17:00 | Thrive Yoga Crested Butte, 326 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Therapeutic Yoga uses a methodic application of sequences to unwind fascial patterns of holding and pain in the body. Much of the work is floor-based and passive, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy! This therapeutic style of Yoga resets the nervous system, opens the joints, and releases patterns of restriction in the body, using long holds and specific alignment. This is an all-levels class, and everybody—athletes, couch potatoes, young and old, will find this practice accessible and will benefit from it.

Join Thrive Yoga CB for a donation-based class to support this initiative! Kait will lead her signature Reiki & Restore class, accessible to all!
Restorative Yoga is a very relaxed practice which utilizes props to support, open and create ease in the body. A totally rejuvenating practice comprised of seated postures and supported inversions, which are held for longer periods of time to allow for deep relaxation in the postures.
Throughout the class, Kait will ask, with each pose, if you would like hands on with Reiki; think soft, gentle, supported, nurturing and peaceful aid for allowing a deeper inner experience in class.
All proceeds will benefit Mountain Roots Holiday Feed a Family Initiative
