Beginner Foundations
This beginner-friendly class introduces the foundations of yoga in a clear, supportive, and trauma-informed way. Perfect for those brand new to yoga, returning after time away, or seeking a slower pace, this class emphasizes safety, confidence, and connection over perfection or performance.
You’ll learn essential postures, breathing practices, and simple tools for grounding and emotional regulation. Each session moves at an easy, unhurried pace, with plenty of time to explore alignment options that feel right for your body.
I create an environment that is steady, welcoming, and accessible for every participant.
