Embodied Narratives: Reclaiming the Story of Your Body: A 7-week HAES-aligned, trauma-informed group experience

February 4th-March 18th on Wednesdays from 6:15-7:45pm

In a culture where conversations about bodies are filtered through diet rhetoric and profit-driven beauty and health standards, it can feel radical (scary, even) to land in your body and claim your own story. This 7-week group invites you to explore embodiment outside the buzzwords of capitalism and diet culture, asking: Who are you outside of these influences? What is the true experience of being in your body?

Through grounding practices, somatic embodiment techniques, and expressive journaling (including collage), we’ll create space to understand and share the story of your body.

This group is HAES-aligned and trauma-informed, welcoming 18+ individuals with all bodies and backgrounds. Whether you are new to embodiment work or seeking deeper integration, join us in a supportive space to reclaim, reimagine, and rewrite your body’s story.

Mainstream fitness wasn’t built with gender-diverse bodies in mind, and that harm is not accidental.

When movement spaces rely on binaries, make assumptions about bodies, or push cis-normative ideals, they don’t just exclude trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people, they actively create barriers to care, safety, and joy.

Fitness should never require you to explain your body, perform a gender, or endure discomfort to “belong.”

Everyone deserves movement spaces that are informed, affirming, and rooted in autonomy, not surveillance, shame, or assumptions.

At Current Wellness, we believe:
✨ Bodies are not problems to be fixed
✨ Strength isn’t gendered
✨ Safety includes emotional and identity safety

You deserve to move in ways that honor who you are, not who fitness culture thinks you should be.

Head to our blog to read Vic Abate’s (he/they) full blog post called “From Harm to Healing: Why Trans-Affirming Fitness is Essential and Achievable.” Shoutout to for being a resource for this post. 💛

We are thrilled to welcome Vic to our fitness team! He joined us as a Full Time Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer this week and is now accepting new clients. You’ll see him all over the schedule starting next Monday. Come check out his class for a great workout and a good time!

Learn more about Vic here:

Vic (he/they) is a NASM certified personal trainer. He was born and raised in High Point NC, where he would develop a passion for mindful movement and sports. Vic holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree from NC State in Environmental Sciences and he plans to expand his education in the realm of kinesiology.

As a transgender man, Vic understands that there is stigma and fear associated with marginalized identities attempting to access or participate within fitness spaces. Vic combats this by stepping outside the gender norm and by promoting inclusion in all fitness spaces. We all can make the fitness industry safer and healthier for all by loving and respecting our bodies as the beautiful beings they are. Vic is excited to learn more about your identity and previous experiences and offer freeing, vibrant, and fun fitness classes/sessions.

Lately, Vic has been trying new things such as: snowboarding, crocheting, juggling, and writing music. This approach to expanding his skillset has allowed him to find creative ways to incorporate mindful movement into daily life while maintaining balance. When not at Current, you can find Vic at the gym, hanging out with his friends/partner, or exploring nature.

If movement has felt like something you should do—but can’t seem to stick with—you’re not broken.

Diet culture teaches us to move from shame, fear, and external pressure. And unsurprisingly… that rarely works long-term.

Movement that lasts is built on curiosity, choice, and respect for your body’s cues.

Swipe through to unpack why diet culture-driven movement often fails us. Check out our new intro offer of 2 weeks for $29 to experience a different kind of movement space.

It’s easy to get destabilized during the holidays – whether you are travelling, tackling a long To Do list, setting boundaries with family, or simply adjusting to shorter days and longer nights.

We asked members of our Current Wellness team how they practice body respect during the holidays, and here’s what they said:

🌀”Prioritizing self-care acts like nourishment, grounding movement and embodiment practices, boundary setting, and sensory breaks.

🌀”Traveling with snacks that I love and support my body and dietary needs.”

🌀”Enjoying the outdoors with my loved ones.”
Our Current Wellness community has so much wisdom about caring for ourselves and one another, and we would love to hear from you, too!

How do you practice body respect during this time of year? Leave us a comment to let us know!

We are excited to welcome Max Baker to our team! Learn more about him below, and join him for Community Flow this Sunday at 9:30am.

I first started practicing yoga in 2012 as a way to exercise without aggravating a torn labrum in my hip. I had surgery to repair the torn labrum, and the surgeon also shaved my femur to fit better into my hip socket. The doctors told me that I was not allowed to run or ice skate again, which was devastating for me since I grew up playing ice hockey, rugby, and cross country running.

After a period of not exercising and not feeling very good about myself, I decided to give yoga a try. It was much harder than I thought it would be! I slowly began attending more classes as a way to get back in shape.

Over time, my practice began to shift from a mode of exercise to a holistic and spiritual journey. I started practicing every single day, and my meditation practice started to overlap with yoga practice. I had been meditating since 2003, but adding yoga to my life enhanced my meditation. I was able to go deeper into meditation and sit for longer periods of time.

In early 2021, I started a year-long Yoga Teacher Training with Janet Stone, a highly respected teacher with over 30 years of experience. The training was transformational for me - my biggest shift was to understand the philosophy behind the practice, which is really the WHY behind everything that we do. The WHY is to connect and align - with my deepest self, with community, and with the Universe. I now step onto my mat with a new mindset behind the movements.

In early 2022, I became a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher. In 2025, I began working towards my 500 hour training, including a month-long training and pilgrimage in India, the birthplace of yoga.

As we head into 2026, let’s leave negative self-talk, perfectionist tendencies, and binary thinking in the past. A New Year calls for a New Lens!

Join Brit Guerin and Julia Carter for this 3-part workshop series, designed to help you reconnect with movement in a way that feels nourishing, sustainable, and true to you. Whether you’re rebuilding consistency, seeking motivation beyond diet culture, or craving a supportive community, this series will help you find your rhythm again.

Here’s what you can expect:
🌀January 4 – Kickoff Workshop: Setting Your Foundation

Reflective prompts and tools help you clarify what you want from movement this season: joy, energy, strength, connection, or simply presence. You’ll leave with a personalized movement intention plan rooted in your unique goals, values, and lifestyle.

🌀January 11 & January 25 – Reflection + Support Workshops

Designed to help you stay connected and supported as you put your intentions into practice, these follow-up sessions offer space to check in on your experiences, celebrate progress, and navigate any barriers that come up along the way. Expect opportunities for form and alignment support for fitness and yoga movements, small group discussions, and gentle guidance for adapting movement to meet your evolving needs.

Accountability can be helpful when putting new behaviors into practice, so all participants will receive a Reclaiming Movement Reflections Packet filled with journaling prompts and affirmations. They promise to keep inspiration and motivation humming between sessions.

Interested in even more accountability? Ask us about pairing you with a buddy!

If you’re ready for a New Year’s reset after the holiday season, Dry January might be on the horizon!

We’re here to support your goals with two incredible upcoming events! Join us for:

🌀 First Friday Dance Party at Current Wellness - January 2

Join us for an uplifting, alcohol-free dance party with Christina Cobb and DJ KaiKai on Friday, January 2nd! This evening blends the best of both worlds: a high-energy dance floor with a supportive, inclusive environment that invites everyone to move in whatever way feels good. All you have to do is show up and follow your own inner light, taking what you need from the music and dance facilitator.
Co-Owner and Resident Mixologist Nathan Williams will be serving up delicious alcohol-free mocktails, so you can sip, meet new people, and let the music carry you. Whether you love to dance or just want a joyful night out that doesn’t revolve around drinking, this event is for you!

🌀 Shaken or Stirred? Mocktail Mixing for More Interesting Alcohol-Free Drinking - January 10

Join us for a fun, educational, and delicious mocktail class to elevate your alcohol-free skills beyond juices and spritzers! Nathan will cover equipment and supplies (for you mocktail newbies), and then he’ll craft three delicious alcohol-free bevvies!

Been to one of our mocktail classes before? Don’t fret - Nathan will be whipping up two brand new recipes, plus an old favorite! Drink ingredients may include North Carolina fruits and berries, shrub drinking vinegars, herbs from the Current Wellness garden, alcohol-free spirits, bitters, sparkling mineral waters, and a number of other fun and tasty options!

Head to www.currentwellnessraleigh.com/our-events/to to register- and don’t forget to bring a friend :)

Not available on the 10th? You can also book a private mocktail lesson! Simply reach out to us via email at info@currentwellnessraleigh.com to coordinate your booking. We’d love to help you make better drinks!

12/18/2025

Fitness, health, wellness, and (sadly) diet culture often enter the chat around January 1 under the umbrella of “New Year’s Resolutions.”

While we love the idea of reconnecting to your health and well-being no matter the time of year, we know it’s important to be kind to yourself and create goals that are truly supportive as you do so.

We invite you to think about the following as we move into 2026:

“What if movement was joyful?”
“What if movement was a gift to yourself?”
“What if your body didn’t need to be fixed?”
“What if you allowed yourself to take up space?”
“What if movement helped emotions move through you?”

Interested in thinking through these prompts with the support of your community, IRL?

Stay tuned for more details about our “New Year, New Lens” workshop series!
