By definition, to Steep is to surround or fill with a quality or influence. In the midst of our full lives, the simple act of giving ourselves 6 minutes for presence with a cup of tea can infuse the rest of our day with attention, care, and peace.
Fill your cup, push play, and create of these moments a practice of steeping presence.

gentle yoga + tea ceremony @ Wildflower Tea Shop & Apothecary in Chattanooga, TN
12/9 & 12/13
flow through a gentle movement practice into sitting for tea ceremony poured from the heart
Wildflower Tea shop & Apothecary has been a sacred space of true connection and healing for many years. These will be some our final times to steep in gratitude and peace during its transition. The tea shop will not be open to the public the morning before our gatherings so please plan to arrive no more than 10 minutes before we start!
Bring a mat/blanket to practice on the tile floor and wear comfortable clothes/layers.
With light guidance, we will spend some time silently sipping and then sharing a bit about our experience. We will sit in chairs for our tea meditation.
Steeping Presence
yoga + tea ceremony
flow through yoga practice
into sitting for tea ceremony poured from the heart
individually, these practices aim to reflect our inner presence
sacred and natural
for our awakened senses, mind, and heart~
together, these practices welcome each guest to the very treasured occasion of a deep breath and warm tea.
By definition, to Steep is to surround or fill with a quality or influence. While pursuing a state of health, or Wellness, we become acutely aware of how our habits, thoughts, and practices infuse our day and either do ~ or do not ~ support our well-being. Much like a pouch of herbs soak in water to extract the flavor and medicinal qualities, we will sit with tea + gentle guidance in meditation to steep our own presence.
Saunter & Sip
Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the whole earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this actual moment is life.
