Intentional Living with Anna Pantano

24/09/2026

Loved the opportunity to host a special Restorative Reset session for some very special, hard working and caring people on Saturday! ✨

This past Saturday a group of local wellness professionals gathered at Redwood for something very simple; a morning where they didn’t have to be the ones taking care of others.

💚 Instead, they could just receive.

For 90 minutes, they slowed down, moved gently, and allowed their nervous systems to settle. Then we shared lunch together, and had the opportunity to connect with other wellness professionals who understand what it means to spend so much of your life holding space and caring for others.

🌿 And the feedback afterward reminded me why I wanted to create this experience in the first place.

What I heard throughout the morning was how needed having a space to slow down, unplug, and simply receive care is —especially for those who often are the ones providing it.

Many came in carrying the responsibilities and weight of everyday life and left feeling more calm, clear, and replenished.

Because the truth is, those of us in helping professions often know the tools. We share them and encourage others to use them.

💗 But there is something different about having the space to actually pause and practice them.

💛 To step out of the role of caregiver for a little while.

💚 To let someone else hold the space.

♥️ And there was something powerful about doing that alongside others who understand what it means to spend so much of your life caring for others.

I think we all need spaces where we don't have to be “on.” Where we can simply breathe, soften, reconnect, and be cared for.

🌿 Thank you to all the wellness professionals who took time out of their busy lives to pause and receive some care.

We are so grateful for the work you do and the ways you care for our community.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we are so grateful you joined us for our Give Back Restorative Reset.

This is one of many kids who have tried and LOVED the Sound Baths I have facilitated at Redwood Business & Wellness Center. 💚 Thank you parents for exposing your kids to different ways to regulate the nervous system and take care of yourself.

Thank you for one of the sweetest testimonials Michelle! 💗 Love that your girl got some much needed rest before school starts.

Kind words from Michelle:

“Sound Bath was amazing tonight! It was my second time and my daughter’s very first time. My girl that has not taken a single nap since she was 4 years old fell asleep during sound bath. That tells you that it is the ultimate peaceful relaxation! School starts soon, so she needed this reset!

I was lucky enough to catch a few yoga classes this summer but I can’t wait for the kids to be back in school so I can go back to my fave yoga classes at Redwood Business & Wellness Center! So very thankful for Anna and Redwood!”

📣 Join me FRIDAY July 17th at 5:45!

✨ A deeply restorative practice that combines the vibrational healing of a Sound Bath with a guided Yoga Nidra meditation to usher you into ultimate relaxation.

💗 This fusion is designed to promote stress relief, and the inner peace that is created when we can fully step out of our stress response and partner with our parasympathetic nervous system to fully release tension.

💫 Invite the mind into a relaxed, meditative state that can improve mood, ease physical tension, and “tune-up” your nervous system.

💗 We encourage you to dress comfortably, in layers and bring your favorite pillow and/or blanket so you can be extra cozy. Yoga mats, bolsters, and blocks are provided but feel free to bring your own.

Beginner-friendly, no meditation experience is required.

💗 How do you take care of yourself when traveling or spending time with large amounts of family and friends over multiple days?

I love to explore new yoga studios and classes. Always leaves me feeling refreshed and oftentimes helps me bring new things back to my students at home. Also aids in me returning home not feeling like I need a vacation from my vacation! 🤣

🌳 And whenever I can, time in nature is my first pick.

Self-care is not just one moment, expensive spa treatments, fancy restaurants or grand trips.

✨True self-care is small moments woven into everyday life that support well-being and vitality.
