Embodied Yoga Therapy for Your Natural Well-Being

The importance of befriending our bodies…

We disconnect from your body due to pain, stress, trauma or struggle with the inevitable changes of aging. But by creating this separation, we unknowingly move further away from the wholeness we long for. Befriending our bodies and embracing these abandoned parts is an essential step in our healing and allows us to come back home to ourselves.

Are you experiencing overwhelm, stress or anxiety? It’s time to listen to your body!

We all encounter uncomfortable sensations and difficult emotions. Often, we cope by staying busy or ignoring these challenges, unaware that this disconnection also prevents us from experiencing comfort, connection, and safety within our bodies. But instead of overriding those signals we can respond to our bodies need for support with self care, support and attention.

Gain insights through exploration and introspection.

Our bodies are not separate from who we are but are intimately intertwined in our life story, expressing and revealing insights about our emotional states, boundaries, needs and desires. Our online practices invite you to listen to your body, cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and navigate life situations with more clarity.

What’s Included in Your Membership

Accessible Movement Practices

Our bodies are meant to move. Gentle and mindful movements can discharge stress, restlessness and anxiety, reduce inflammation and help you feel present.

Floor-based Yin & Restorative Classes

The art of slowing down and being still is not something our culture encourages, but a necessity for our bodies to heal and restore and experience effortlessness.

Mindfulness, Reflection & Inquiry

Talks and Themed Classes invite you to dive deeper into your own personal reflections on different aspects and challenges of our shared human experience.

Specialty Series and Multi-Day Courses for Daily Practice

While a single session can have a profound impact, regular practice with our Challenges and Retreats will allow you to truly support your body and well-being.

Weekly Community Online Drop-In

A special class for online members only! Take some time to drop into your body. Includes a 45 minute movement & mindfulness practice, plus 15 minutes of Q & A.

This Life is Precious—Your Well-Being Matters!

Practicing Yoga mindfully invites you to deeply listen to your body, respect its boundaries and connect with yourself in ways that go beyond what you may have thought possible.
