This isn’t about calling anyone out. It’s about honesty.
There is nothing wrong with anatomy focused movement, philosophy driven practice, alignment based teaching, or strength based, heated, physically challenging classes. Some people want intensity. Some people want to sweat, to push, to be challenged in that way. That is valid.
The issue isn’t what you offer. It’s when what you market doesn’t match what you actually teach.
Trend driven language creates unsafe spaces. People show up expecting regulation, choice, and nervous system awareness and instead find themselves in environments that prioritize performance, endurance, or correction. Bodies adapt by overriding themselves, not because they are weak, but because belonging is powerful.
We are not everyone’s cup of tea, and we are honest about that. At Rooted, we work through a trauma informed lens because we understand what that requires. We are not here to offer heat, core burn, extreme effort, or aesthetic flow. We are here to offer choice, pacing, and safety.
Not every space is for every body. That’s not exclusion. That’s integrity.
Market what you actually teach. Let people choose what they need.
Rooted Holistic Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering trauma informed recovery, education, and nervous system support through rhythm, sound, stillness, and story. Our work is grounded in nervous system science and lived experience, supporting awareness, capacity, and connection without promising outcomes. Through The Rooted Method, we integrate recovery meetings, somatic practices, sound experiences, and professional training in ways that are accessible, inclusive, and ethical.
