Acu-Nidra

with Boise ACUPUNCTURE co-op

August 2nd at 4:00pm

Join Upward Inertia and Boise Acupuncture Co-op and experience Acu-Nidra.
Ear acupuncture is a gentle treatment to help calm the mind, bring balance to our physical and emotional bodies, and invite in deeper states of rest and healing. Yoga Nidra is the art of conscious deep rest—a meditative practice between waking and sleep that guides the body into stillness while keeping the mind gently aware. By combining ear acupuncture with Yoga Nidra, we invite you to experience deep rejuvenating rest, allowing your nervous system to unwind and create space to access your innate ability to heal.

All proceeds from this event help to support the work Upward Inertia and Boise Acupuncture Co-op!
Upward Inertia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to improve the mental, physical, and social-emotional health and wellbeing of individuals from marginalized communities through the use of mind-body based education and Therapeutic yoga intervention.

Pawsitive Vibes: Puppy Yoga with Upward Inertia and Rilo’s Rescue

August 16, 2025 at 4pm at Ananda Yoga Space

Rilo’s has puppies they want to find homes for, and we want to help them receive as much love and connection as possible!

We are so excited to once again be partnering with Rilo's rescue to bring you puppy yoga! Rilo's Rescue is another local Boise Nonprofit that works to provide shelter, care, and rehoming services for abandoned, abused, and neglected animal.

Puppy yoga is, by far, the most joyous event around. Snuggle with pups, stretch your body, and leaving with a giant smile on your face. All of the puppies at this event are in need of homes; so if you fall in love, you can have a new best friend! There will be a mixture of breeds, all 100% good boys and girls.

No yoga experience is needed. All are welcome to join. Children are welcome, as long as accompanied by an adult and old enough to stay on their mats and treat the pups with love and kindness.

Classes are a sliding scale, $35-50 donation. Please also consider bringing dog food, toys, or supplies to donate to Rilo's Rescue's foster families.

**Please note: There is a formal application process required to adopt the pups. So you will not be able to take any puppies home with you from the class.
