Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Come Rest with us.
In order for the body to heal, it must be able to rest. Once it can rest, it knows what to do.
Our setting is not a traditional yoga studio and that is exactly our intention! Our mission is unique in providing yoga. While all yoga practice has value and is potentially restorative and beneficial, not all yoga is accessible to those who have been through trauma or struggle with mental health concerns. That is why we have chosen to offer small class sizes and specific yogic practices that are created for those navigating mental health needs or identify as highly sensitive people. Our practices activate the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing for a sense of rest and relaxation for those who often spend much of their experience in flight or fight states of being or hypervigilance.
Yoga is a healing modality that provides a pathway to personal joy.
The ancient practice of yoga, which means “union,” embodies mindful movement and breath. In the practice of yoga, you meet yourself again and again and cultivate a mind-body-soul connection. In this journey of self-discovery, you may gain a deeper sense of connection to yourself, others, your community, and the world at large. It is our intention to provide trauma-informed yoga practices to our local community in a setting that feels safe and therapeutic.
You do not need to be a client of ours to drop in a class!
Our classes are led by licensed counselors who are also trained yoga teachers and provide trauma-informed yoga for those who may be sensory-sensitive and emotionally vulnerable.
Our practices offer mindfulness meditation, gentle movement, and breathwork that allows healing and restoration at your own pace, meeting you where you are today.

Restorative Yoga
In a restorative yoga practice, positions are held longer and supportive bolsters and props are utilized for your comfort. Holding these positions, stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing for your mind-body connection to enter a calm and centered state. Guided meditation and imagery, calming sound healing, and essential oils may be included. (75 mins)
Yoga Nidra
Yoga nidra translates into “yogic sleep.” Come rest with us. This practice induces a state of deep relaxation while maintaining awareness. Listen to a soft guided meditation leading you through the five koshas, or layers, which provide a roadmap for your journey of self-discovery and transformation. (75 mins)
