Liberatory practices to support you through the challenges + wonders of humanhood.

I provide:

• Private yoga sessions for people wanting to practice yoga without the Western studio environment

• Private pelvic floor yoga sessions for people wanting support with their pelvic health challenges.

• Private Reiki sessions for people wanting to tune into their energy, feel less overwhelmed, and create more balance. 

• Group yoga classes for people wanting to practice in community, and in particular, queer community.  

All my offerings are intended to help us understand ourselves in new ways. We can investigate approaches to inhabit our bodies that are counter to dominant culture’s norms, and learn to move through life with authenticity. In these private sessions and group practices, we create time and space to slow down and see what’s being held in the body, and explore how we might find more presence, ease, and aliveness. These possibilities are evoked through movement, breath, guidance, and support. 

My clients typically seek out this work to feel more connected to their inner world of emotions and physical sensations. They may want to take space to care for themselves, even as they are caring for others. They may be curious to see what can happen with a new practice. The result of this work is a shift in how we interact with ourselves and our relationships– a shift towards presence, ease, connection and steadiness. 

Over time this work teaches people how to find their own nervous system regulation, so that when they are off the mat and outside of the practice room, they have access to their own resources. This can drastically support their own sense of agency and deepen their skills in self caregiving.

What clients report to me over and over is that their lives get richer as a result of this work. And on a more playful note (yes, this work definitely has a playful side) it’s a chance to work with curiosity, creativity, and newness. Everyone will have a different experience, and it’s sure to be an adventure!

The difference between private and group yoga practices is that group classes have the benefit of practicing in community. I teach my own group yoga classes, and I also teach within other organizations. 

Many of the group classes I run are oriented towards queer folks. The benefits of practicing in LGBTQIA+ community are many; it can be a gentle and intentional space that is outside the typical yoga studio environment. It looks different than a typical class because there are many different types of bodies and expressions moving and breathing together. For some, these classes are the first time they are stepping into their identity as a queer person. For others, it’s affirming to practice in an environment where you can be your full self, and be among your people. We create reflection time after a physical practice as a way of connecting as a community. I’m also a co-founder of Be Queer Now, a virtual and in-person yoga collective.

In other organizations, I teach group classes on-site and online for workplaces. Currently I work with nonprofits such as Doctors Without Borders, Phoenix House, The Practice Coalition, and corporate offices such as Squarespace and Braze. Yoga can create a healthier work culture and support the well-being of your team. Please contact me here to discuss class options and pricing.
