✨ Yoga for Body Connection
Tomorrow | Pay-What-You-Can

This is a gentle, choice-based space to reconnect with your body in a way that feels safe, supportive, and real.
You do not need to identify with trauma to benefit. This class is especially welcoming for those who don’t feel comfortable in traditional yoga spaces, who feel disconnected from their body, or whose nervous systems need a slower pace and extra care.
This is not a performance-based class.
Movement is slow, mostly floor-based, and always optional. Chairs and abundant props are available. You’re welcome to move, sit, lay down, or simply rest.

What makes this class different:
• Language is invitational, never directive
• The room is predictable and calm
• Shapes are held longer so sensations can settle
• Somatic practices gently support the vagus nerve and fascia
• There is no sharing or processing aloud

Healing isn’t about performing poses — it’s about learning to notice, feel, and choose.
💛 Optional 20-Minute Community Co-Regulation Practice After Class
After class, I’ll offer an optional 20 minutes of intentional community co-regulation. This means we’ll practice simple shared breath, gentle synchronized movement, or quiet presence together — allowing our nervous systems to settle with one another. Our bodies regulate not only through stillness, but through safe connection. Being in calm, attuned community helps remind us that we don’t have to carry everything alone.
This is a space to:
• Rebuild trust with your body
• Rest after long periods of stress or overwhelm
• Feel supported without having to explain yourself
• Experience stability while staying connected to what’s real
You are welcome exactly as you are — angry, sad, tired, hopeful, uncertain. Nothing needs to be overridden. Your nervous system is doing its job. This space simply offers support.
If your body is asking for quiet, choice, and care, I’d love to have you join us tomorrow.
Rest is allowed here.

I'm still vibing after today's Rest and Reflect membership workshop.
I've combined it for you into a little mini course because... it's deep and it takes some space. I'll meet you there!

There are seasons in life when something begins to shift beneath us.
The roles that once felt steady start to feel heavy. The strategies that once kept us safe no longer soothe in the same way. We may find ourselves standing at a quiet threshold — not in crisis exactly, but not fully at ease either.
This workshop was created for that space.
Tender Belonging: The Descent of Inanna is an embodied exploration of the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna’s journey into the underworld. Rather than approaching this story as distant mythology, we will meet it as a living mirror — one that reflects our own cycles of identity, loss, protection, grief, and return.
Inanna descends through seven gates, releasing her crown, her jewels, her symbols of power. Not as punishment. Not as failure. But as preparation for entering a place where performance cannot follow.
Many of us know this descent in our own lives — when something in us asks to be seen without armor.

Engage with the ancient myth of Inanna's descent through gentle somatic practices. Explore your identities and protections in a supportive space tailored for reflection and healing.

I trained as a yoga teacher to learn how to teach.
What I didn’t expect was that my training would teach me how to be human.
How to soften.
How to listen.
How to be in community.
This spring, I’m co-facilitating a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training with the school that shaped me—because yoga is so much more than asana

It’s a practice of nervous-system care.
Of empathy.
Of learning how to be with ourselves and one another in a tender world.
In this training, we explore yoga through a trauma-informed lens, get involved in the community, and create real spaces for healing. We practice uniting breath, body, and mind—and remembering our belonging to each other and the Earth.
If there’s a stirring in your body as you read this, a longing to serve with care, integrity, and compassion—this might be for you.

✨ Starts April 2025
🫂 Trauma-informed, healing-centered
🤝 Community-rooted, heart-led

You’ll be invited to Know Nothing, Bear Witness, and Take Action—not as concepts, but as lived practices. As sacred offerings in an ever-suffering world that needs grounded, embodied, healing-centered leaders.
We get involved in the community.
We create real spaces for healing.
We practice being with life as it is.

This month inside Rest + Reflect, we’re practicing tender belonging:
– gentle somatic practices
– reflection and journaling
– a 2-hour live (recorded) workshop (Feb 13th)
– a short audio meditation to return to again and again
– community space for those who want it

Nothing to keep up with.
Nothing to prove.
Just a place to come back to yourself.

If February feels heavy, quiet, or unresolved—
this work was made for you.
You’re welcome to join anytime.
The door stays open.

The “shadow” isn’t something dark or dangerous.

Most of the time, it’s just a place that didn’t receive enough tenderness.
It can look like:
– self-judgment
– numbness
– over-functioning
– pulling away from connection
– wanting support but not knowing how to receive it

February has a way of bringing these parts closer to the surface—not to overwhelm us, but to ask for care.
Inside Rest + Reflect, shadow work isn’t about digging or forcing insight. It’s about creating enough safety in the body so these parts don’t have to hide anymore.
Nothing inside you is asking to be fixed.
Some parts are just asking to be held.

Repost from

GLP-1s have, I know, been life changing for lots of people, and that is amazing. But not everyone should be taking GlP-1s, and they are still a serious medical intervention. Moments like these make GLP-1s feel less like medicine and more like lifestyle content. What do you think?

Tender Belonging is the February membership theme.

Tender belonging is not about loving every part of yourself or having it all figured out.
It’s about learning how to be with yourself when things feel messy, unfinished, or unclear.
When your body feels heavy.
When your heart feels sore.
When you don’t know what the next step is.
This month inside the membership, we’re practicing:
– staying instead of abandoning ourselves
– meeting emotion through the body, not the story
– offering warmth before asking for change
– letting rest and honesty coexist
This work doesn’t demand more from you.
It asks for gentleness—and that can change everything.

Meet Jen

I’m Jen. I help other’s connect to the deepest version of themselves and move from survive to thrive. My deepest commitment is to empower, inspire and allow you a brave space for healing. I help other’s deal with the imprints of trauma on the body, mind and soul.

My goal is to guide others to live an empowered and inspired life. I believe that yoga goes far beyond the mat and into your entire life. Yoga can be used as a form of movement and exercise, but also as a way to look inward.

My teaching style brings a balance of strength and softness. Each time we work together my hope is that you’ll find a balance of rest and power. I’m committed to personal growth. I’m passionate about helping others explore where yoga and can take them while reclaiming power and self worth. My special interests include trauma, grief, body image and addiction.
