It's LIVE! You can now purchase a 4-session Forest Floor Mat Pilates series to practice online with me. Get it for just $15 and it's yours forever. Purchase here: https://www.wiseowlwellnessaz.com/online-classes.html

Welcome to Forest Floor Mat Pilates. This series is inspired by the quiet strength of the natural world — the stability and support of the forest floor — and how our bodies can access that same grounded resilience from the inside out.

Over the four classes, we’ll explore deep core activation, hip and glute strength, balanced mobility, and rhythmic breath work.

Each class is just 20 minutes, so you can practice on its own whenever you need a reset, or combine multiple classes for a longer, more comprehensive workout. It’s designed to be both accessible and efficient — a way to build strength that feels nourishing rather than draining.

For this series, we’ll be working with a few optional props:
🦉The small soft ball helps us connect to the deeper layers of the core and pelvic floor, offering support, feedback, and balance challenges.
🦉The yoga block provides stability, lift, and alignment in postures where the ground feels a little far away. It encourages better posture and ease in the spine.
🦉The Pilates magic circle adds resistance, helping strengthen the inner thighs, glutes, arms, and postural muscles through gentle squeezing and pressing actions.

If you don’t have props, that’s okay — I’ll offer variations so you can still benefit fully from the movements. Even if you practice without props, you'll benefit from the exercises.

My hope is that these sessions leave you feeling centered, connected, and a little more aware of the quiet power living within your body.

Thank you so much for investing in your wellness, and for choosing to practice with me. I’m honored to support you on the mat, and I can’t wait to begin.

Wise Owl Yin Yoga Training is a soulful, immersive journey into the quiet wisdom of the body. This certification course is designed for yoga teachers, bodyworkers, and dedicated practitioners who feel called to slow down, listen deeply, and offer spaces of true nervous system nourishment. Rooted in functional anatomy, mindfulness, and the energetic body, this training honors Yin Yoga as both a practice and a way of being.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore the principles of Yin Yoga, including long-held, passive postures, skeletal variation, and the art of skillful support. You’ll learn how to teach the body in front of you—using props, modifications, and intentional language—while cultivating a trauma-aware, inclusive, and compassionate teaching approach. Anatomy is presented in an accessible, embodied way, with special attention to fascia, joints, and the nervous system.

Beyond the physical practice, Wise Owl Yin Yoga emphasizes presence, inquiry, and inner awareness. You’ll experience meditation, breathwork, and reflective practices that support emotional release, energetic balance, and self-trust. Themes such as seasonal wisdom, meridian theory, and mindful sequencing are woven throughout, allowing you to create classes that feel both grounded and poetic.

Graduates leave with the confidence to design and lead Yin Yoga classes that are safe, spacious, and deeply restorative—whether in studios, wellness centers, retreats, or private sessions. Upon completion, participants receive a Wise Owl Yin Yoga Certification, empowering you to guide others into stillness, resilience, and the quiet strength that lives beneath the surface.
​
This training is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to remember that stillness is not the absence of movement—but the presence of wisdom. 🦉

Early bird rate of $250 ends January 15, 2026.

Every day since January 1, 2025, I have done my daily yoga and philosophy readings. One of the passages from today was simply "Finish what you start".

My morning quiet time with coffee or tea and my daily readings has been a game changer in how I begin my days: Calmly. Quietly. Intentionally.

I've already chosen my books for 2026, and I am looking forward to continuing this practice of reading, learning, and contemplating.

Here's to gaining more wisdom in 2026. 🦉
