This class begins with a grounding meditation and mindful breath work to center the body and calm the mind, creating a safe space for all participants.

Designed with a trauma-informed approach, Fierce & Free Flow encourages participants to move at their own pace, honoring where they are in their journey. The class combines gentle, flowing sequences with moments of stillness, allowing for deep relaxation, self-reflection, and the opportunity to reconnect with inner strength.

Gentle Yoga is a low impact Hatha Yoga class. It’s the perfect first class for beginners, if you’re practicing with an injury or a health concern, or if you need a slow, mindful practice to rest, recover and invite calm and presence into your day. Gentle Yoga will give you opportunities to adapt poses to your needs and to deeply observe the effect of the poses on your breath. Essential oils will be offered as a complement to a long, meditative Savasana relaxation at the end of class.
