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!


Growing with Grief: A Day of Healing and Connection

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. 
Guided by: Liziah Richards, Jen Kraft and Doris Vanderhyde

Series Description:
After several months of studying under Dr. Arielle Schwartz and completing her 30 hour program and certification in Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery, I am excited to offer this six week embodied series starting next month. Each session includes gentle yoga, breathwork, and embodiment exercises designed to help regulate the nervous system, release trauma stored in the body, and foster resilience. Participants will leave with practical tools for emotional regulation, nervous system support, and self-connection. To better understand the connection between stress, trauma, and overall health, it is important to focus on the vagus nerve and its bi-directional communication highway between the mind and body. When the vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system are out of balance, it can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, shutdown or dissociation. Stimulating the vagus nerve can help regulate both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. By using breath and movement we can restore balance and help our nervous system become more resilient. Through these embodied practices we can learn to move through these two states without getting stuck in either fight or flight or freeze and shutdown.
In this 6-week series, we’ll explore:

-A foundational understanding of your nervous system and its relevance to trauma recovery
-Gentle yoga techniques to support the nervous system and promote emotional regulation
-Practical tools to shift from fight, flight, or freeze into states of connection and calm
-Insights into the vagus nerve and its role in healing and emotional regulation
-Techniques to release trauma or stress stored in the body, fostering balance and self-compassion
-A path to renew connection with your body.     
This series is open to all levels of yoga experience and welcomes anyone interested in trauma-informed healing. Whether you’ve experienced trauma, are trying to cope with a stressful time, are seeking a deeper connection with your body, or are a wellness practitioner looking to expand your knowledge, this space is designed to support and nurture you.
Limited Spaces Available: This class is limited to 8 participants to allow time for opening and closing shares and to provide enhanced attention and support.
I look forward to creating a safe, healing space for connection and growth together.
