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.
🧘🏽‍♂️🧘🏿‍♀️🧘🏻🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♂️

⏱️Approx 90 mins (though you are always welcome to leave early)
💖blankets, bolsters, mats, and blocks provided
📞If you have any questions, please send me a text at the number listed on the flyer below

Here at MHAC part of our office culture is we must do and say weird things or we will perish....

So of course we have a mini version of our boss that we dress as santa during the Christmas season and place in various places around the building.
