Bowspring Yoga with Samantha
2026-10-06 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-10-13 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-10-20 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-10-27 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | The Playful Soul, 1001 E 86th St, Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46240
Bowspring yoga is a revolutionary, yet natural, alignment system that celebrates and encourages the natural curves of the spine and brings forth an animal like springiness in the body. The Bowspring alignment encourages the repatterning of fascia in order to return to a state of fluid dynamism, and opposes postural patterns that lead to imbalance. Practicing this formula will increase your strength, mobility, proprioception, balance, mental acuity, and open up spiritual channels.
In this class we will spend the hour moving through poses with the throat, belly, and pelvic floor open: as a result, please be advised that this class can be PROFOUNDLY engaging and opening for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. We will end the class in a relaxing assimilation.
**Bowspring is healing for everyone, however this class may be too much if you are currently experiencing certain movement restrictions. If you have concerns, please attend an Intro to Bowspring Class, arrive to class early to chat with Samantha, or contact Samantha directly at info@thesamanthasimpson.com

Qigong for Inner Peace
2026-10-07 17:00 - 18:00, 2026-10-14 17:00 - 18:00, 2026-10-21 17:00 - 18:00, 2026-10-28 17:00 - 18:00 | The Playful Soul, 1001 E 86th St, Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46240
Qigong, an ancient technique of transforming heavy emotional energy into a higher vibrational state, is great for helping us navigate modern-day stress with more flow, balance and inner peace. Qigong can (very loosely) be likened to no-impact Tai Chi. It combines simple breathing techniques, easy mental focus and gentle physical postures – either sitting, standing or moving. (All movements can be adapted to sitting in a chair.)
In this class, through instruction and guided meditation, you’ll learn a variety of simple, yet effective self-care practices, including:
Inner Smile Meditation (calms anxiety and high blood pressure)
Six Healing Sounds (neutralizes heavy emotions)
Microcosmic Orbit (revitalizes your energy body)
Quan Yin Compassion Qigong (opening and healing your Heart)
Breast Health Qigong (clears stuck energy from chest)
Come join us and learn Qigong energy meditation tools to help you find your own peaceful center in the “eye of the storms” of life.

Tai Chi for Beginners
2026-10-07 18:30 - 19:30, 2026-10-14 18:30 - 19:30, 2026-10-21 18:30 - 19:30, 2026-10-28 18:30 - 19:30 | The Playful Soul, 1001 E 86th St, Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46240
Tai chi, an ancient Chinese martial art known for its slow, relaxed movements, is both a form of self-defense and a moving meditation. The movements are typically circular and never forced and the muscles and joints are relaxed rather than tensed. These gentle, yet dynamic movements increase physical stamina and balance and help you release mental and emotional stress.
LinDel teaches a 13-movement short form of tai chi as developed by Grandmaster Mantak Chia. She teaches in a fun, non-intimidating way and believes, “if you can pat your head and rub your belly at the same time, you can learn tai chi.”

2026-10-08 18:00 - 20:00 | The Playful Soul, 1001 E 86th St, Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46240
In the rush of modern life, grounding and comfort can feel out of reach. Yet nature offers us a steady guide: the moon. Often called Grandmother Moon, she shines with divine feminine energy—reminding us to slow down, listen inward, and honor life’s cycles.
For generations, Indigenous cultures have honored the new moon as a sacred time to pause, reflect, and plant seeds of intention. Inspired by these timeless traditions, we invite you to gather with us in circle each month.

There are years that ask us to rest.
And there are years that ask us to rise.
Inspired by the bold, passionate energy of the Year of the Fire Horse in Chinese astrology, this immersive afternoon retreat invites you to awaken your vitality—without burning out.
The Fire Horse is radiant. Independent. Courageous.
But untamed fire can scatter, exhaust, and overwhelm.
The Spirit Horse teaches us something deeper:
Power without force.
Passion with grounding.
Movement guided by wisdom.

An Emmersive Experience with Horses

This retreat offers embodied learning through the presence of horses—powerful mirrors of energy, awareness, and authenticity.
Through guided, hands-on equine experiences, you will explore:

How your nervous system responds under pressure

Where you tend to overextend or hold back

How to lead with calm clarity

What balanced confidence feels like in your body

How to regulate intensity without dimming your fire

There is no riding in this experience.
Instead, you will connect, lead, groom, walk, and move with the horses through structured exercises designed to deepen emotional awareness and embodied leadership.
No horse experience is necessary.
Please note: Participants will be engaging with horses, but will not be riding them.
