the rebirth: a spring equinox ceremony
Spend an evening in ritual with Carleena (yoga teacher + wellness facilitator) + Krystina (owner + visionary of Wild Juice Co) on the cusp of the Sprint Equinox.

According to Sadhguru, in the yogic tradition, “the equinox is seen as a day when one has the best possibility of transcending the limitations and compulsions of one’s physical longings.”
It is an auspicious day to transcend old patterns and limiting beliefs, to step into new timelines for the highest good of all.
Come gather in community to spend time with kindred souls while harnessing the power of this sacred day

the high priestess path: a 5 week divine feminine mystery school
reclaim ✰ remember ✰ rebirth
it is here. the contractions you are feeling all around you is sweet mother earth in labor, birthing the New earth for all of us. As her children we are being called to step into the highest versions of ourselves and every fragment of you that’s been left behind is lovingly being beckoned back home.
sweet sister, as you continue on your courageous healing journey, i welcome you to not walk the path alone, but in great company of soul family who is transmuting for the world, too.
and we welcome you to walk the way with us. gathering in sacred circle with our sisters ancestrally has been a source of power and deep healing that we’ve become conditioned to fear. and if your heart is apprehensive about gathering so intimately with other women, while simultaneously curious, there could be some potent soul medicine for you.
in this 5 week divine feminine mystery school you will reclaim your sovereign birthright to create any life you desire; to remember more about why you came during such a potent time in Earth’s history and ecstatically express reverence for your inner huntress, creatrixx, sorceress and oracle.
over thousands of years we’ve been conditioned to fear her: a fully embodied and sovereign queen who ses her heart on her target and always makes her mark. the woman whose voice reaches 8 billion souls. the woman who rises, speaks, dances and fucks like she knows exactly who she is.
it is time. you are being called.
no more hiding.
no more playing small.
no more keeping quiet.
your voice is needed, sister.
your sexual and emotional energy will be the source of your power.
your time is now.
like many women, i know what it’s like to show up day in and day out in my immature divine masculine energy - conditioned to believe in many lies that have molded the way i view the world and most importantly myself.
❌ the lie that my worth came from some external source
❌ the lie that my voice didn’t matter
❌ the lie that my body and the ecstacy that runs through her is inherently wrong
❌ the lie that my menstrual cycle / menopause is my enemy rather than one of my greatest rites of passage
❌ the lie that my perfectionism is necessary
it is time that we return to the ancient ways - remembering we are the granddaughters of the moon and the children of mother earth. that a sense of safety - which ultimately leads to confidence - comes from within in the form of a healthy, downregulated nervous system.
if you’re tired of the grind and have an energy within you that’s wanting to erupt into the joyous dance of liberation, please join me in this magickal journey through the 4 archetypal embodiments of divine femininity: the huntress, the creatrixx, the sorceress, and the oracle.
this journey is for you if you’re looking for a more ancient path to healing - one that honors your cyclical nature and reveres your body as the sacred vessel to take this journey in.
this journey is for you
✨ if you’re looking for embodied ways to safely and effectively work with your emotions without shame or guilt
✨ if you’re looking to tap into abundance consciousness by tapping into your unapologetic pleasure
✨ if you’re looking to liberate yourself from the colonized belief systems that keep you small, quiet and tame
✨ if you’re looking to unlock your voice and give sound to your emotions, thoughts and dreams for yourself and this world
✨ if you’re ready to remember: you are a high priestess. you are a cosmic creatrixx. you are the goddess.

25 hour yin yoga teacher training at one power yoga with carleena lara-bregatta
Are you ready to take a deep dive to the self, through the self?
Join Carleena for a weekend long introductory yin training where you'll discover more of who you are on a soul level, all while learning how to become an embodied and empowered yoga teacher. Yin yoga is passive, yet brilliantly strong in its own way. Through mindful practice, self-inquiry work, community sharing and conscious training you will learn how to effectively & safely teach yin yoga and/or cultivate an at home yin practice. Whether you are a certified yoga teacher or are yin-curious, this training is open to you if you'd like to learn more!
What's Included in this Yoga Alliance Certified 25 Hour Training:
Through guided yin yoga practices, workshops, excavations, journaling and philosophy we will learn the differences between yin & yang yoga, the functional vs aesthetic approach to yoga, discuss trauma-sensitive yoga, explore the functional approach to yin yoga, get an introductory overview into taoist and 5 Element theory, and learn approachable yoga anatomy to teach to each and every student's unique bone structure.
Students will receive a thorough training manual with the above teachings along with sequences for various intentions. Students will not only train to learn about yin yoga, but connect with a heart-felt community that will empower them to see their own radiance.

yin yoga: the metal element (in studio class)
join carleena for an in studio yin practice that will inspire contemplation, release and relief
In Traditional Chinese Medicine The Metal Element represents the season of early to late Fall where all of nature signifies release, shedding and dropping down into the belly of the earth. The Metal Element inspires the process of going underground, a metaphor for the journey into the subconscious mind: the realm of our emotions. When we're lovingly willing to venture into this world, there is much waiting for us - a buried treasure, so to speak. This nourishing yin yoga class will weave themes of letting go like the leaves, ancestral wisdom from beyond the veil and plenty of physical release of buried tension. Bring along any props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets and get ready to receive a restful evening of yin yoga.
when registering, be sure to adjust your date to include the week of december 12th. feel free to email me carleenalarayoga@gmail.com with any questions regarding booking. thank you!
