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!

The loss or absence of a father impacts us in complex and sometimes unseen ways. Whether your relationship was close, complicated, incomplete or non existent, grief can live in the body long after words run out. This workshop is intended for anyone who is struggling with the loss of a father, a father figure, or the father you never had, but needed. Through meditation, pranayama (breathwork), journaling and a gentle Yin Yoga practice we will identify where the grief is being held in our body and how it shapes our thoughts and beliefs. Together we will invite in embodied movement to create space, awareness, and emotional balance, meeting ourselves with honesty, compassion, and care.
What to Bring: A yoga mat(if you don’t have one will be provided), comfortable clothing, an item for comfort or an item for the alter that represents what or who you are grieving and a journal for reflections.

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.
