Glow in the Vines is not a class — it’s a fully immersive, two-hour wellness journey that unfolds like a live performance. Guests are guided seamlessly from one moment to the next through yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound bath, and live musical storytelling, all accompanied by live acoustic guitar, vocals, and healing soundscapes.
Music weaves the experience together, guiding movement, breath, and stillness, and culminating in a powerful guided sound and reflection experience followed by an acoustic song that emotionally anchors the journey. The result is a rare blend of wellness and artistry — grounding, uplifting, and deeply connective — leaving guests restored, inspired, and reconnected to what truly matters.
