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!


From Survival to Safety: Nervous System Rgulation through Yoga
I’m excited to be offering a new 4-week yoga series focused on understanding and working with the body’s survival responses of Fight, Flight, Freeze/Collapse, and Fawn. Each session will include somatic exercises designed to help students learn how to bring their nervous system into a more balanced state of being. Each week will focus on one survival response, offering tools and somatic techniques tailored to that specific state. These practices are designed to support greater balance, deepen nervous system awareness, and help participants access a more regulated, ventral vagal state. Through a combination of yoga, somatic practices, journaling and breathwork, individuals will learn practical strategies for upregulating or downregulating their nervous system depending on the focus that week. The series will guide participants in better understanding and working with the body’s survival responses of Fight, Flight, Freeze/Collapse, and Fawn. Who Is This Class For: This series is open to all levels of yoga experience and welcomes anyone interested in trauma-informed healing. This group is appropriate for clients who may benefit from trauma-informed, gentle movement; additional regulation skills to complement individual therapy; and psychoeducation delivered through experiential practices. It is also well-suited for individuals who would appreciate a supportive, guided environment focused on safety, embodiment, and nervous system awareness. Clients working on stress regulation, trauma recovery, or embodied coping skills may find this series particularly beneficial. Series Details

Embodied Healing Through Movement: A 6-Week Yoga Series for Trauma Recovery and Self-Connection

 I am excited to offer another six week embodied series. Each session includes a gentle trauma informed yoga practice, breathwork and embodiment exercises designed to help regulate our 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 through an understanding of just how connected our mind and body are. Ancient yogic teachings explain that the mind and body are not separate and the health of one affects the health of the other. 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 nervous system states without getting stuck in either fight, flight, fawn, freeze or shutdown.
