Repose Mind and Body

10/18/2026

Be honest: when's the last time you sat down and nobody needed anything from you? 🕯️

Not scrolling. Not "resting" while your mind runs the list. Actually stopped.

Most of us are running on overdrive and calling it normal. And the busier the season gets, the less room we leave for our own bodies to come down.
That's why I created Unwind by Candlelight. One evening, built to slow you down: soft light, live piano, gentle movement, and people who are exhaling alongside you. No experience needed. Nothing to perform.

You don't have to earn a night like this. You just have to decide to take it.

Tickets close Thursday, Oct 22 at midnight. We gather Friday, Oct 23 at Hyatt Place downtown.

Yes! I'm so thrilled the sweater weather will hold out for Sunday. There's something special about moving, breathing, and getting present on the mat, especially outside. The birds, the breeze, the little surprises nature brings! Rise & Shine at 8:30am and Restore & Repose at 3:00pm. Bring your own mat if you can. See you all out there! ♡

The weather is looking amazing for Sunday! We are beyond excited to bring you our Women's Only 18+ Pampering and Self-Care Day event to the Gillette area on Oct 18th from 9am- 3pm at the Prairie Sky Venue!

Carrie Linn with Repose Mind and Body is bringing you TWO outdoor yoga sessions to enjoy 👇

✨️ Mindful Movement/Yoga: Please note limited mats will be available, bring your own if possible. They are a 45 minute class for $10/class (if inclement weather, $10 credit towards purchases at Repose Mind and Body).

1) Rise & Shine (8:30am): A gentle morning yoga class perfect for all levels — including complete beginners! We'll move slowly through easy stretches and simple poses to wake up the body and start your day feeling energized. No experience or flexibility needed — just come as you are.

2) Restore & Repose (3:00pm): A calming, beginner-friendly yoga class to unwind after a full day. We'll slow things way down with gentle stretches, supported poses, and a peaceful relaxation to close it out. No yoga experience required - just bring yourself and an open mind.

So either start or end your day with some added YOU TIME! Reserve your services here by NOON SATURDAY if you like to plan ahead, otherwise sign up when you arrive! 🔗 ladiesoftheblackhills.com/oct-18-2026-gillette---reserve-services

We can’t wait to see you there!

I sat down to journal about this event, and I had to film it.

There's something about candlelight that makes you slow down. Makes you feel what you've been too busy to feel all week.

That's the whole reason this night exists.

Unwind by Candlelight — October 23rd. Gentle movement, live piano, massage, facials, a closing social with tapas and healthy drinks. One evening, built entirely around setting it all down.

We're half sold out, and Tier 3 — our final pricing tier — just opened. 12 days left to grab your spot.

If this candlelight made you want to breathe a little slower too... that's your sign. 🕯️

He says it so well!

Perception is the core of Yoga. The deeper your perception, the more profound your experience, and the richer your knowing.

We all trip. The practice is what happens next: the breath, the pause, the choice to meet it with grace instead of a fight. 💚

Falling isn't failing. It's just part of the flow. 🌀

The first time I did Coherence Breath, it felt like my body said, "Let me close all those tabs for you."
That was about 7 years ago. It was the first breathing technique I learned outside of a vinyasa class, and I was determined to stay present and not give up. I'd been diagnosed with adult ADHD and was running in overdrive, with tabs open everywhere (in my head and on my computer). That was just my normal. This breath showed me a stillness I didn't know was possible.

The second breathwork I was drawn to was the Wim Hof method, and it was a totally different experience. It's much more intense, and it supported me through fire and ice training: a hot sauna, then an ice bath. The first time in the cold, I couldn't last 30 seconds. With practice, my body learned it was safe. A few months later, I sat in a 45° ice bath for 5 minutes and thought, "I could stay longer."

That's the part I love most. Breath (or pranayama, as we call it in yoga) is a tool we're all born with, and it can help us relax, warm up, cool down, or find balance. It's also proof that our bodies can learn safety and ease.

⚠️ Wim Hof breathing should never be practiced in or near water, or while driving.

This is the kind of thing we explore in class, gently and at your own pace. 🤍

So I'm curious: what have you noticed about your own breath? Have you tried a breath practice or discovered something interesting? Even "I've never tried anything" is a perfectly good answer.

The sound behind the candlelight. 🎹

Nick Linn will be playing live on the keys throughout Unwind by Candlelight — soft, ambient soundscapes designed to help your nervous system settle a little deeper with every session.

Nick's been part of this vision from the start, and this evening simply wouldn't feel the same without him.

Tier 2 pricing is now open. 🔗 link in bio
