We are just beginning the season of winter, and our bodies and souls may be feeling that.

Our external environment might want us to rush, do more, start something new, create goals, and look outside of ourselves. But winter is inviting us inward.

To me, self-caring is an action. It is not a product we consume or a task we check off a list. It is beyond coping, bringing us real nourishment and support. Winter is the season for tending, and it can also feel like an isolating time.

This virtual, month-long group is a reminder that we are allowed to take care of ourselves, and that we don't have to do it alone.

If you feel like self-caring is selfish, or there isn't enough time, or you are too drained, this group might offer support.

Together, we gently invite feeling safe enough to practice self-caring. Perhaps it can be safe enough to do the thing you know your body needs, perhaps it can feel safe enough to stop what isn't really nurturing you, perhaps it can feel safe enough to slow down and connect with yourself.

This is a low-cost and low-pressure space for starting to explore somatic work.

Our virtual calls will be recorded for our group, and you will have space in a private virtual container for asking questions and sharing reflections, receiving support from me and our group in the ways you want to ask for.

Early access price $26 ends today, then standard pricing of $36 begins!

I invite you to unfreeze a little bit this winter and open to connection with yourself and others 🩵💙🤍

Inviting Cincinnati area yoga teachers, fitness and movements facilitators, body and energy workers, and other facilitators interested in learning more about somatics, trauma, the nervous system, and what it all means for you and the spaces you hold.

The buzzwords are out there, but what do polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation, and somatic release even mean? And with more people acknowledging their trauma, how do we truly support embodied healing?

This experiential weekend immersion taking place January 23-25, 2026 at is a place to learn, question, explore, and practice together.

If you are a practitioner who works with folks and their bodies, you probably got into this work because you experienced how healing the medicine could be. You were likely impacted by a felt-sense experience, something that went deeper than just a mental knowing. And you probably know how brave, tender, and important it is to come into the body. This 15-hour YACEP program invites us to remember that intention and explore more embodied ways of bringing forth the healing that is possible through your modality and scope of practice.

Taught mostly through the lens of Somatic Experiencing, an intensive 300+ hour program for trauma resolution, this program simplifies complex teaches and makes them accessible and practical for you to apply in your work.

Please reach out to Meagan with any questions.

We would love to have you with us if it feels aligned 💖

It has been over a year that I have been facilitating these Somatic Yin Yoga classes at different places around town. This class was a calling that came through me, a creation that I didn't plan on, an experience that emerged and had a life of its own.

Over the past 16 months or so, this class has evolved me. As a guide, as a student, as a human. Each group teaches me something about myself and about the human experience.

Most often, people leave the class feeling more relaxed and present. Some folks leave the class feeling sort of changed. The somatic invitations are there to meet you, and for you to meet yourself, wherever you are.

Sometimes, tears arise. People say 'I don't know why', and I smile. Maybe it's because you felt safe enough to let emotion arise, something you might have been shoving down has some space to be here. Maybe it's because you feel joy and love of being present, here, in your body and in this moment. Maybe it's because you feel grief for the loss of connection with your body and joy and being in the moment. Maybe it's because there is so much going on in the world to shed tears for. Maybe...maybe, it doesn't matter why, and only how it feels to allow it to pass through.

Of course, I'm not expecting anyone to cry, I'm not trying to make this an emotional space. But humans have emotions! In class we might also laugh, we might feel curious, we might feel anxious or frustrated. All the range of emotion is allowed. And feeling safe enough, feeling ok, feeling maybe even a little good - that is welcome and savored.

We get to invite your nervous system to be here, in this moment, and we see what comes up. And we feel our way through stretches, which means we feel our way through supportive positions, through loosening up, through surrendering, through noticing tension and bracing, through what we are holding.

I am grateful for all the spaces that have held me and the groups of these classes. I am appreciating and the way we have partnered to navigate this class being part of all the lovely offerings in the space. It feels like a settling, and I think you will feel that too when you join us once a month 💖

How often do we clench our jaws to avoid opening our mouths and letting truth come out?

How often do we bite our own tongue to avoid biting through the lies and harm around us?

How often do we swallow the acid of our bile, our words, to avoid causing someone else pain?

How much pain do we cause ourselves by repressing our anger and turning the fight in toward our bodies?

I'm not saying that screaming, biting, projecting or spewing out our anger is how we want to handle this emotion. But our bodies might have those impulses, and working against those impulses takes a lot of energy.

What if we could work with the impulses in a way that feels skillful and aligned? What if we could not just 'manage' our anger but actually leverage it with sustainable skill?

Anger has wisdom, there is medicine in it - it tells us what needs to change. When we bring awareness to that with presence and compassion, this is a powerful force. I believe we need folks to come into healthy relationship with anger right now. We need people who can say No, this is not ok. We need people who can stay with anger long enough to get clear on right action, to show up with love, & to do what their souls are asking them to do.

Have you ever really heard your own voice? Have you heard from the inside that something needed to be expressed, & then heard the power of it outside of you?

In this photo, my body told me it wanted to be witnessed in a scream. To hear myself & to be heard. No one made me do this. It wasn't for a staged experience that someone else guided. And it wasn't even about catharsis & trying to 'get my anger out'. This was about embodied, wild power.

Screaming can be a lot. It isn't something I typically recommend through somatic trauma healing, especially not in the beginning. You don't have to force this. It's not necessary for 'release' in the way you might think.

What's really powerful is going slow, staying with your body, & hearing your own knowing. The real relief and transformation come when you feel all the resistance in your body, give love to the protective patterns, & let it feel safe enough to follow your own voice.

There is nothing wrong with you because you feel angry. You are not wrong or bad for having a body that has instincts to fight, yell, push, kick, scream, bite, punch. It is not a problem that you have survival instincts that want to protect you.

I know this can feel scary. I know that you don't want to be 'an angry person'. I know that you don't want to cause harm or violence. I know it is intelligent and protective to repress anger and these instincts. And...

Our body has a story it wants to share. It has impulses that want to complete. It has energy that it wants you to acknowledge, witness, feel, process, move.

The impulses of fight and anger are real and valid and human. When a boundary is crossed, when you feel disrespected, when there is injustice - anger is the valid response that alerts us to pay attention. It shows us that something we care about is being challenged, and we might want to take action. As humans, we all experience moments of anger. If you don't register anger, if you think this isn't part of 'who you are', it might be a sign of repression, avoidance, denial, numbing or dissociation. Anger is part of life and the range of human experience, and it isn't going to be avoided forever.

What if you could work with your body and the wisdom and power of anger in a skillful and sustainable way? What if you didn't have to work so hard to hold it in? What if anger doesn't mean violence? What if your body wasn't holding in the fight and turning it in on yourself? What if you could experience more freedom, less tension, more aliveness and play, less anxiety or depression, more power and alignment?

Can you feel what might be possible there?

Women and NBs, I invite you to join us starting September 14 for a Somatics of Anger series at .

This is for you if you consider yourself to 'not be an angry person'. This is for you if you only acknowledge anger when it is at a max level and explodes out. This is for you if you repress anger to keep the peace or be liked. This is for you if you are ready to remember your voice, power, energy, boundaries, and embody living more of your truth.
