Orion and Astara of Illuminating Hearts join yoga instructor Maggie Knight Knaub of Divine Rebel Yoga to co-create conscious slow flow yoga and sonic bliss at The Heartwood Room.
Maggie’s entire yoga flow practice will be accompanied by Astara and Orion saturating the space around you with organic vibrations to help you get in touch with your deeper sense of being. We will end this event with a longer 20 minute Savasana as a Sound Alchemy experience.
Soundscape Flow is inspired by Nāda Yoga, or the premise that all that exists in the cosmos, including human beings, consists of sound vibrations, called nāda. Nāda is the unstruck sound inside you. Our intentional holistic soundscape supports each yogi in deepening their connection to their body while remembering and resonating with their inner sound and wisdom.
Pre-registration is encouraged.
$25 Advanced, $30 Door
Event starts at 6:30pm. Please arrive by 6:15pm to check in.

Maggie Knight Knaub is a 200-hour certified yoga instructor. Over the course of 10 years, her relationship with yoga evolved. Initially, time on the mat was intimidating, but eventually the new world within the four corners of the mat became a safe haven and a source of grounding and healing. In April 2018, Maggie completed her 200-hour certification in vinyasa-style yoga with Awakened Warrior Yoga. Having a deep appreciation for the more gentle (yin) side of yoga, she has since obtained certifications in the practice of Yoga Nidra and Pranayama & Meditation with ShivaShakti School of Yoga & Healing Arts, and is currently completing trainings in Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga & Slow Flow.
Knowing that yoga can be intimidating, Maggie teaches that yoga can be accessible for everybody; it is simply a matter of finding what works best for each individual. She fosters a safe space for students empowering them by meeting self-doubt, limitations, or insecurities with self-love, compassion, and kindness. She encourages each individual to meet themselves where they’re at; a yoga practice changes from day to day, moment to moment. Maggie’s passion is to share yoga’s potential for transformation and depth with others. Yoga is a beautiful journey, and Maggie is truly grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to guide others on their path.
