Books, Breath & Belonging: a mindful movement + community book club

A monthly 90-minute community book club gathering blending gentle yoga, mindfulness, reflection, and meaningful conversation inspired by thoughtfully selected books centered around wellness, personal growth, and intentional living.

Each month we will explore a new book, beginning with gentle yoga movement and a meditation practice, followed by a pause for tea and guided discussion, journaling, and reflection centered around the month’s theme.

Participants will leave feeling grounded, connected, and inspired, with thoughtful take-home reflections including journal prompts, mindfulness practices, and a mantra or ritual to carry into the month ahead.

More info:

• The books will involve yoga and/or mindfulness, or themes of wellness and self-empowerment.

• Discussion around the book, as well as going beyond the book itself, exploring the broader monthly theme and how it relates to everyday life and practice. Participants will leave with a small reflection sheet including:

  • a mantra or affirmation

  • journal prompts

  • a simple ritual or mindfulness practice inspired by the month’s theme

• Didn’t finish the book? That’s ok, no need to finish the book to attend!

What to expect:

• 20–30 minute gentle yoga flow

• 5–10 minute guided meditation or breathwork

• 5 minute tea break/community pause

  • BYO mug or tea cup. Simple herbal tea station with hot water available.

• 40–45 minute book discussion, journaling, reflection prompts, and group conversation

June's book: The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

Our first book selection, The Gifts of Imperfection, will explore themes of self-compassion, authenticity, vulnerability, and letting go of perfectionism through gentle movement, reflection, journaling, and meaningful community conversation centered around the idea that we are already enough.

Future Sessions:

The book is released at the end of the last month or beginning of the month, book club the third or fourth weekend of the month.
