Experience the Power of the Pause: A Mini-Retreat with Jillian Pransky

In a world that constantly pulls us forward, taking a pause is a powerful act of love. When we slow down—even for a single breath—we make space to meet ourselves and others with compassion, tenderness, and presence.

Join mindfulness and yoga teacher Jillian Pransky for a 2-hour in-person mini-retreat dedicated to the art of pausing as a practice of care, healing, and connection.

Pausing is not passive—it’s a radical act of nourishment. It’s how we soften stress, interrupt habitual reactions, and create new pathways for peace within ourselves and in our relationships.


You’ll be guided to

Through a nourishing blend of somatic movement, gentle yoga, restorative rest, and mindfulness practices, you’ll be guided to:

- Release stress and tension in the body and mind
- Create a sense of spaciousness and ease
- Cultivate expanded awareness and deep listening
- Foster deeper connection with yourself and others

LARLAR™, Jillian’s six-step method

You’ll also experience LARLAR™, Jillian’s six-step method for weaving pauses into everyday life—helping you carry calm and connection into each moment.

Kaia Teacher, Kristen Ambrosi joins to open and close the practice with harmonium and chanting, bringing a resonant, heart-centered soundscape to enhance your experience of grounding and connection.

This is more than a workshop—it’s an embodied experience of renewal, tenderness, and presence.

Come rest, restore, and remember that pausing is an act of love—a way of coming home to yourself and awakening to life with greater ease and compassion.
