12 Days of Wellness Challenge
December 14 - 25, 2025
It happens every year... the holidays arrive, and all the progress you've made toward your wellness goals quickly slips away. There just isn’t enough time in the day, and temptations are everywhere.
It doesn't make you a bad person to indulge or to let your workout routine take a back seat for now. As we get closer to winter, it's good to slow down, find moments of calm, and do things that nourish your body and spirit.
Sign up for Firefly's 12 Days of Wellness Challenge to get a calendar with easy self-care actions to do from December 14 to December 25 this holiday season.

New Year Restorative Yoga & Journaling Workshop

This style of yoga is suitable for all levels, and will help you release, relax and restore, preparing you for a great night's sleep!
We'll practice letting go and opening the heart. We'll join in meditation and journaling to reflect on learnings from the past year, and outline your intentions for the future.

Yoga for Aging Gracefully Series
Tuesdays, February 3 - 24, 2026
Staying active as you age requires moving smarter, recovering better, and keeping your body in top condition. Yoga to Thrive is a comprehensive practice combining various yoga styles (vinyasa, yin, and Self-Awakening Yoga) and integrating strengthening exercises to help you age gracefully, preserve your range of motion, and avoid injuries.
​
Yoga to Thrive has four guiding principles:
-
Body Awareness: Throughout class, you’re encouraged to observe and notice sensations to access your body's wisdom. By using the “as-is” principle, accept yourself and your experiences in the moment and remain inquisitive without judgment.
-
Mobility and Flexibility: Mobility is essential for preventing stiffness and injury. Regular stretching and myofascial release can enhance flexibility and improve movement patterns, allowing you to maintain your range of motion. In Yoga to Thrive, we move in all planes, work with our connective tissues such as fascia, ligaments, and tendons, bring awareness to areas of tightness or stickiness, and recognize asymmetries in the body.
-
Strength: Muscle mass naturally declines with age, but resistance training helps sustain strength, bone density, and joint stability. Yoga to Thrive classes incorporate movements designed to strengthen muscles and encourage practitioners to pay attention to which muscles struggle to engage or are unable to disengage or relax. The combination of strength and flexibility helps us achieve stability and our most efficient alignment, enabling us to move with ease.
-
Balance: Developing balance aids in functional movement and helps us avoid injury by strengthening stabilizer muscles and cultivating proprioception (a sense of your location in space). When you maintain balance, you are better equipped to catch yourself if you trip or slip, and you can sustain independence by being able to move well.
Each of the four yoga sessions will incorporate the guiding principles and be held via Zoom, so you can join from wherever you are. Each class is from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. If you can't attend live, recordings will be available to registered attendees.

Half-Day Silent Retreat
Evergreen, CO
Saturday, March 14
Winter is the perfect time to turn inward and find time for stillness and silence. If you've been experiencing high levels of stress, this in-person, half-day silent retreat could be just what you need to step away from the day-to-day frustrations and find more calm.
​
The benefits of spending time in silence include:
​
-
Reduce mental chatter
-
Enjoy deep rest and rejuvenation
-
Release stress
-
Improve self-awareness
-
Experience inner peace
-
Gain a fresh perspective or insight
-
Begin or deepen your meditation practice
-
Emerge with greater clarity and focus
-
Increase resilience
​
The event will begin with a brief discussion and overview of what to expect, so that you feel prepared for the experience. We'll head out for a meditative nature walk taken in silence. The walk will be approximately three miles on a trail with some elevation changes, so you should wear shoes or boots with good tread for traction. Finally, we'll engage in a guided meditation before breaking the silence to share any insights from your experience with the group.
​
This event will be held in Evergreen, Colorado, from approximately 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. Mountain Time. The exact location will be provided upon registration.
