Evening Wind-Down: Gentle Practices for Restful Nights

🌙Unwind your day and settle into stillness.

This gentle evening practice brings together slow, easeful movement, breath, and simple self-care techniques to help release the day and settle your body and mind. The focus is on unwinding — physically, mentally, and emotionally — so you can transition into the evening feeling calmer and more at ease.

Each 45-minute session is accessible to all levels and designed to feel grounding and supportive, whether you’re new to movement-based practices or simply looking for a calm way to end the day. Everything is offered with options and at an unhurried pace, with no expectation to push or perform.

Classes meet live on Tuesdays at 8:00 PM ET and are offered as an ongoing weekly option. You’re welcome to join on any Tuesday that works for you — there’s no start date and no requirement to attend every week.

 I wholeheartedly recommend!!! I came to Tezoona to increase relaxation, acquire core muscle strength and flexibility while improving meditation techniques and experiences. Jo's warm and secure aura comes through everything she does… Even the simple act of walking through Jo's garden surrounded by birds and hanging fruit brings a peaceful joy adding to the experience. The guided meditation out under grandmother-sized oak trees was enlightening and spiritual… all in all an adventure I treasure and hope to expand upon in future workshops!… If you are ever blessed to taste her cooking you will be speechless… Jo is a Jewel! Keeps you coming back for more! Brenna S.
