Yoga Workshops and Classes

Sunday Morning Yin Yoga Class

Come join me
Sunday mornings 9am-10:15am at The Heart Center.
I teach every Sunday morning and use yogic philosophy, breathwork, asana and meditation to bring students into their body.
Yin yoga is a very meditative practice that allows us to get deeper into our soft tissues such as our ligaments, joints, deep fascial networks and even our bones. It has been referred to as "needleless acupuncture."  
And because we hold emotions and trauma in our bodies a Yin practice can help improve symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep issues, gut health and so much more.
I look forward to seeing you in class soon!


Intro to Healing Trauma in the Body through Gentle Yoga: Applyiing Polyvagal Theory for Embodied Healing and Connection to Self.

Description:
Discover how the body holds trauma and how gentle, intentional movement can support healing and self-awareness. This 2-hour workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of polyvagal theory and its application in yoga practice, offering insights into how our nervous system responds to stress, trauma, and safety. Through guided gentle yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness exercises, you’ll learn practical tools to reconnect with your body, build resilience, and foster a sense of safety and calm. Whether you’re a trauma survivor, someone seeking a deeper connection to your body, or a wellness practitioner looking to expand your understanding, this workshop provides a supportive environment for growth and healing. 

Growing with Grief: A Day Retreat to Connect with How Grief is Changing Us and Offering Life Giving Wisdom 

In this nourishing day retreat we will explore our growing relationship with grief. We will attune to the wisdom of our grief as we care for our grieving selves. We will connect in a sharing circle, in movement practices, meditation, sound healing and journaling to explore what we are currently feeling and learning on our grief journey. What are the nutrients being offered from your grief? What is being cultivated for the well-being of yourself and others.
