Offerings

Each offering is centered around one unifying theme, meaning that shapes and reflections are catered to meet the needs of a specific issue or goal. See below for details:

Adaptive Yoga
These practices are centered on accessibility and empowerment for people of all abilities. Adaptive yoga is chair-based, a format often preferred by wheelchair users and other ability-diverse people.

Cardio-Focused Movement
Cardio-focused practices have been linked to increased neuroplasticity (the ability for the brain/nervous system to adapt and grow), increased memory, and increased emotional wellbeing. Furthermore, those in a season of navigating high-arousal emotions (such as anger, fear, or frustration) may find a faster-paced practice cathartic and centering.


Contemplative Flow

Founded on the knowledge that the Spirit lives in our bodies, contemplative flow practices are designed to connect mind, body, and spirit, centered on the Christian trinitarian God. Elements of practice include breath prayers, reflections, and mindful movement.


Yoga For Anxiety
Yin yoga, a practice focused on deep connective tissue, can be helpful in reducing symptoms of anxiety. In addition to addressing embodied imprints of anxiety, this practice also creating a space of calmness where we can focus on the breath, which soothes the nervous system and replaces anxiety with groundedness.

Yoga For Burnout
This restorative practice focuses on creating space for intentional rest, body-led movement, synchronized breathing, and mindfulness. Yoga for burnout may be especially beneficial for helping professionals, caregivers, community organizers, or those struggling with compassion-fatigue. Yoga is a research-backed prophylaxis and also increases efficacy of other stress-reduction methods, allowing us to recharge and prevent negative effects of prolonged stress on the body.


Yoga For Depression
Mindful movement, breath work, and meditation can be helpful in reducing symptoms of depression. Connecting with your body helps us listen to its signals and increase understanding of how to care for ourselves, boost our mood, and calms our nervous systems. This practice may be especially beneficial for those wishing to address fatigue, lack of motivation, and low self-esteem.

Yoga For Trauma Recovery
Trauma-Informed Yoga helps us cultivate a restored relationship with our bodies at our own pace. With emphasis on self-consent, empowerment, and safety, TIY releases stress stored in the body, assists in processing trauma safely, and can reduce PTSD symptoms. TIY has also been shown to act as a catalyst for other forms of trauma treatment.
