There’s a part of you that’s been silenced. A wild, untamed force that was never meant to be caged. Consider this your permission to set her free. You don’t have to hold back. All of you is welcome here.
Welcome to Women Who Roar; A space where you are allowed and celebrated in being all of who you are. Take up space and reclaim the parts of you women have been taught for generations to hide.
What to expect:
- A night of embodiment, expression, and liberation in sisterhood.
- Women Who Roar’s signature combination of energy clearing, transformational practice, and clothing-optional ecstatic dance – because your body and voice were never meant to be tamed.
- Roaring full-bodied release because your emotions deserve to be felt, not buried.
- Clothing-optional, judgment-free expression because your body is yours to move in reverent celebration. Without shame or fear of violation.
- Witnessing & being witnessed by women who see and welcome all of you, because when women celebrate each other, we rewrite history.

Book Club: the Myth of Normal
withHolly Bonvissuto
August 30 — FREE
11:45 AM – 12:45 PM
Location: Lift Yoga Johns Creek
What if many of the struggles we experience aren’t personal failures, but natural responses to an unhealthy culture?
This August, you are invited to join in reading The Myth of Normal by Dr. Gabor Maté, a powerful exploration of how trauma, stress, disconnection, and modern life influence our physical and emotional well-being.
Over six weeks, we’ll move through the book together with weekly reflection via emails designed to help you pause, contemplate, and connect the material to your own life. Then, on August 30, we’ll gather for a thoughtful community discussion.
This isn’t about having all the answers or reading every page perfectly. It’s an opportunity to become more curious about ourselves, our health, our relationships, and the culture we live in.
If you’ve ever wondered why so many people feel exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unwell despite doing “all the right things,” this book offers a compassionate and thought-provoking perspective.
Reading begins July 20 – Weekly reflection emails will guide the journey.

About the Instructors:
Kathy + Dennis bring a different perspective to yoga instruction by co-teaching… a blend of Yin and Yang energies. Their abundance of knowledge, practice, and experience draws from their studies and attendance of many national workshops across the country including training with Rodney Yee, David Life and Sharon Gannon, Shiva Rea, Sean Corn, Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, and others. Their style is influenced by the traditions of Kripalu, Kundalini, Jivamukti, Ashtanga, Yin and Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Having traveled overseas extensively to over 40 countries, they have a broad view with much cultural exposure.
One cannot simply read and theorize; one must practice and take that practice inward to experience the multiple layers and terrain of ourself. As musicians, they have added the modalities of sound and vibration as a key experience and ingredient with meditative instrumentals of guitar, Sitar, crystal bowls, Native American flute, drums, and gong. They are teachers, but consider themselves more as guides or facilitators of an experience. They believe that yoga is about relationships; first, you with yourself, then you with the world and the divine. So with us, the practice is not a “work out”, but very much a “work-in”.
