Starting this week I will be opening the studio space at 6:15 pm to offer pre-practice tea and community connection before practice.
The world is *worlding* and it is HEAVY. In yoga our sangha, our community, is a vital part of practice... leaning into each other and into our safe spaces, allows our souls and our nervous systems to come up for air. So if you wanna come early grab a warm tea/coffee, journal, meditate, relax on your mat, or chat with fellow community members please feel free to come take up space before practice.

The movement and asana parts of our practice starts at 7pm per usual!

If you have any questions please feel free to text the number on the flier below.

If anxiety or depression has been running the show lately—this is your reminder that 7pm yoga returns this week 💖

Reminder:
trauma-informed yoga, isn’t about flexibility or performance. It’s about creating sensations of safety, calm, and steadiness in the body—so your nervous system can remember it doesn’t have to stay on high alert or dissociated forever.

Think: slow movement, grounding breath, choice-based cues, and space to just be without fixing anything.

If you’ve been tired, on edge, emotionally flooded, or numb—this space is for you.
You don’t need to feel calm to come. We’ll build it together.
