Upcoming Workshops & Retreats: How to Deepen Your Practice

At The MATS, we believe in creating experiences that go beyond the mat—spaces where you can expand your practice, deepen your connection to self and community, and grow in both presence and purpose. Our upcoming workshops and retreats are thoughtfully designed to support you wherever you are on your wellness journey. Whether you're a teacher, healer, leader, or simply someone seeking restoration, these events offer something powerful: the chance to show up more fully for yourself and others.

🌿 1. The Art of Holding Space with Heart

Sunday, June 8, 2025 | 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Join Nirel, a restorative yoga teacher with over 5 years of experience, for a heartfelt 5-hour immersion at The MATS. This workshop is for yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, community leaders, and anyone who holds space for others. You'll learn to open, hold, and close your offerings with greater presence and care. Through reflection, movement, and practice, you'll gain tools to cultivate safer, more supportive spaces rooted in empathy and integrity.
🌀 Yoga Alliance CEUs available.

🍫 2. Cacao Ceremony

Sunday, July 20, 2025 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
The MATS – 2nd Floor, Daly City

Step into a sacred evening of connection and heart-opening with our Cacao Ceremony. Honoring the ancient tradition of cacao as a plant medicine, we’ll slow down together in community to sip ceremonial-grade cacao, invite intention, and receive the calming resonance of sound healing instruments. This is a chance to reconnect to joy, stillness, and soul in a safe, nourishing container.

🌸 3. Zen Daze Wellness Retreat

Sunday, October 5, 2025
Location: The MATS Daly City

ZenDaze is a full-day retreat for healing, grounding, and connection. Rooted in mindfulness, this experience includes guided meditation, restorative yoga, therapeutic practices, and nourishing meals. Whether you're in need of a reset or simply craving community, ZenDaze offers a sanctuary for renewal. Come as you are—leave recharged, realigned, and reconnected.

✨ Why Join an Event at The MATS?

Workshops and retreats give us the space to pause, reset, and engage more deeply with our practice—far beyond what’s possible in a regular class setting. They’re where insight meets integration. You’ll leave not only with new tools and perspectives but with meaningful connections that stay with you long after the event ends.

These offerings reflect our mission at The MATS: to support whole-person wellness in an inclusive, intentional community. If you've been feeling called to go deeper, now’s the time.

🧘‍♀️ Take the leap. Attend a workshop. Join a class. Come home to yourself—at The MATS.
