Connected Core Yoga

26/02/2026

A quiet shift I’ve been noticing…

More and more, people are talking about pelvic health.
About intimacy.
About the changes that happen through pregnancy, stress, aging, menopause, surgery — life.

And sometimes those conversations feel “TMI.”
But I don’t think they are.

I think our mothers and grandmothers carried so much of this in silence.
They didn’t have the language.
They didn’t have the resources.
They didn’t have spaces that felt safe to ask.

We do.

We have pelvic floor physios.
We have education.
We have supplements, support, programs, community.
We have rooms where you can say the thing out loud — and no one flinches.

My classroom is one of those spaces.

There is nothing embarrassing about your body adapting to life.
There is nothing shameful about needing support.
And there is something powerful about women (and folks with pelvises) sharing honestly with each other.

We heal faster when we stop whispering.

Connected Core classes & 1:1 sessions continue weekly.

Come as you are.

There was a season in my life when everything felt incredibly heavy.

I was in the middle of my yoga teacher training, and at the same time, walking through multiple layers of personal trauma. I kept showing up to practice — but inside, I didn’t feel strong. I didn’t feel steady. I didn’t feel powerful.

At that point in my journey, I understood yoga mostly through the physical practice. The strong flows. The discipline. The commitment. And while there is so much value in that, it was the only doorway into yoga that I really knew.

It took time — and lived experience — for my understanding to expand.

Yoga isn’t just strength.
It isn’t just showing up no matter what.
It isn’t just the poses.

It’s breath.
It’s compassion.
It’s self-study.
It’s non-harming.
It’s learning to listen when your body whispers — and when it shouts.

There are seasons when power feels accessible.
And there are seasons when softness is the practice.

That time in my life shaped me deeply as a teacher.

It taught me that when someone walks into a room, they may be carrying more than anyone can see. It taught me that strength looks different on different days. It taught me that autonomy matters.

So in my classroom, you don’t owe anyone performance.

You can modify.
You can rest.
You can skip a pose.
You can lie down.
You can leave early.

You are allowed to show up exactly as you are.

My hope is that the space I hold feels steady, compassionate, and safe — whether you’re in a season of power or a season of healing.

That, to me, is the wholeness of yoga

You don’t *need* to be postpartum, injured/recovering, or “struggling enough” to get support.

You might just notice:
• Leaking when you cough or jump
• Core weakness or tension you can’t quite explain
• Pelvic discomfort, heaviness, or disconnection
• That your body doesn’t feel as supportive as it used to

Connected Core 1:1 sessions offer individualized pelvic floor and core support — grounded in education, not shame.

Slow, intelligent, and tailored to your body.

In-person sessions at Holistic Thyme Wellness Center

Curious if this is right for you? Start with a conversation.

A friend, a colleague, and genuinely a good human. I am so pleased to see that his continued studies now opens a door for me to refer my pregnant and postpartum clients to this incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate practitioner!

𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

As a fairly new parent myself, having witnessed my wife and our friends in the Yarmouth community struggle with many pregnancy and birth related issues, this is a subject very close to my own heart.

Drawing from an intact tradition of over 1800 years, we combine acupuncture with Classical herbal formula prescriptions to support new families with a broad range of pregnancy-related issues, including:

- metabolic disorders
- aches and pains
- breech babies
- high blood pressure
- pre-eclampsia
- labour preparation
- induction
- labour support

+ common concerns of the postpartum period:
- bleeding
- recovery
- lactation support and issues
- constipation
- mental-emotional health
- prolapse

I am very excited to add to my prior training with my two diplomas in TCM, extensive study with Dr Eran Even, PhD on the Jingfang 經方 herbal teachings of Professor Huang Huang 黄煌, and a course on Nurturing the Fetus with leading Chinese Gynecology translator and teacher Dr Sabine Wilms.

Send us an email or Facebook message to learn more and book your appointment at Yarmouth Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
