Offerings

Each offering is centered around one unifying theme, meaning that shapes and reflections are catered to meet the needs of a specific issue or goal. See below for details:

Adaptive Yoga
These practices are centered on accessibility and empowerment for people of all abilities. While all offerings are open to everyone of any ability, adaptive yoga is chair-based, a format often preferred by wheelchair users and other ability-diverse people.

Cardio-Focused Movement
Cardio-focused practices are helpful in maintaining neurobiological health, an integral aspect of mental and emotional wellness. Furthermore, those in a season of navigating high-arousal emotions (such as anger, fear, or frustration) may find a faster-paced practice cathartic and beneficial.


Contemplative Flow

Founded on the knowledge that the Spirit lives in our bodies, contemplative flow practices are designed to connect mind, body, and spirit, centered on the Christian trinitarian God. Elements of practice include breath prayers, reflections, and mindful movement.


Yoga For Anxiety
Yin yoga, a practice focused on deep connective tissue, can be helpful in reducing symptoms of anxiety. In addition to addressing embodied imprints of anxiety, this practice also creating a space of calmness where we can focus on the breath, which soothes the nervous system and replaces anxiety with groundedness.

Yoga For Burnout
This restorative practice focuses on creating space for intentional rest, body-led movement, synchronized breathing, and mindfulness. Yoga for burnout may be especially beneficial for helping professionals, caregivers, community organizers, or those struggling with compassion-fatigue. Yoga is a research-backed prophylaxis and also increases efficacy of other stress-reduction methods, allowing us to recharge and prevent negative effects of prolonged stress on the body.


Yoga For Depression
Mindful movement, breath work, and meditation can be helpful in reducing symptoms of depression. Connecting with your body helps us listen to its signals, boost our mood, and calms our nervous systems. This practice may be especially beneficial for those wishing to address fatigue, lack of motivation, and low self-esteem.

Yoga For Trauma Recovery
Trauma-Informed Yoga helps us cultivate a restored relationship with our bodies at our own pace. With emphasis on self-consent, empowerment, and safety, TIY releases stress stored in the body, assists in processing trauma safely, and can reduce PTSD symptoms. TIY has also been shown to act as a catalyst for other forms of trauma treatment.

frequently asked questions

  • All offerings are open to everyone! While each practice is designed with a specific demographic and/or interest in mind (trauma specific, depression specific, anxiety specific, burnout-specifc, adaptive, contemplative, and cardio-focused), all are welcome.

  • Before getting started, you will fill out an initial interest form detailing your hopes and goals for your practice. Based on this, I will recommend a specific series that I perceive to be most tailored to your needs, as well as an overview of other series. From there, it is up to you where you would like to get started! I am always available to talk through any questions or concerns as you discern which practices are right for you.

  • We operate with a sliding scale, meaning that you pay as much as you can based on your financial capacity between the listed range.

    Our regular rate for drop-in sessions is $25-35. Student and military rates are $15-20 for drop-in sessions.

    Seasonal 8-week series typically range from $150-200.

    If you would like to opt in to the Pay It Forward model, you can choose to donate or round up to contribute to need-based scholarships. This allows me to offer low-cost or no-cost practices to those in need in our community, while also attending to my needs as a facilitator. Lets show our community some love!

  • Absolutely not! I deeply respect everyone’s unique spiritual journey. I hope that you never feel pressure to assimilate to my beliefs. While it does inform who I am and what I offer, I do not incorporate spirituality into our practices unless specifically and unanimously requested. This excludes contemplative yoga practices, which are designed to be a form of embodied Christian prayer. My interest lies solely in your healing journey, whatever that looks like for you.

  • I’m a firmly inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming facilitator. I welcome you to share as much or as little as you want with me in order to help you feel comfortable joining the healing space. It is my goal to help everyone feel valued and safe just as you are.
