Offerings

Experience yoga as a holistic and spiritual practice for regulating the nervous system, getting in touch with the divine, and improving the quality of your life. My classes are:

  • a little slower paced than what you would normally see in a Vinyasa practice 

  • suitable if you’re seeking a grounding practice 

  • infused with yogic philosophy you can take off your mat and into the world 

  • characterized by inclusive language, particularly for gender expansive people

Whether you are interested in vinyasa, gentle flow, or restorative offerings, I have you covered. My training in alignment-based and trauma-informed yoga ensures safety for you, both physically and emotionally.

Curriculum Development

If you are a healing professional (yoga teacher, therapist, energy worker, etc.) and interested in developing workshops and trainings, I would love to support you. You might be an expert in your modality but unsure of where to start in designing a workshop for clients or a training for other practitioners. Drawing on my 11+ years’ experience working with university educators at Stanford University and the University of California, I can support you with: 

  • Accountability to actually get the thing done

  • Coaching to keep you positive and temper any negative self-talk

  • Advice from the research that will maximize learners’ take-aways and keep them coming back 

  • Feedback and editing for training materials like workbooks, welcome emails, and evaluation surveys.
