Welcome to Welcome to Your Body.
In this opening class, I introduce you to the program and how to move through it.
The classes are designed to be taken in order. Each one builds on the next and the progression is very intentional. There is a reason behind every movement and the sequence in which ...

This class is about coming back into your body.
We begin by slowing down and building awareness of breath, noticing where the body is in space and where it may be holding tension. Through gentle breathing and quiet observation, you begin taking inventory of your body and listening to what it has ...

In this class, we begin relearning how to breathe.
Many of the tension patterns we carry from stress, excessive sitting, and years of compensating in our bodies interfere with how the diaphragm functions. When this happens, the breath often moves into the chest and neck instead of expanding throu...

Before the breath can move well, the body needs space for it.
Many of the ways we hold ourselves come from unconscious somatic postures that developed in response to stress. These patterns influence both our alignment and how we breathe.
In this class, I introduce three common protective postures...

This class focuses on releasing the back and the psoas.
We begin in a supported constructive rest position with your legs bent at ninety degrees and resting on a chair or stool. This position allows gravity to gently reset the pelvis and take pressure off the lower back.
The psoas is a deep muscl...

This class is a full reset for your nervous system, moving through three simple but powerful techniques that work together to bring your mind and body into a state of deep rest and release.
We live in a world that keeps us switched on. The nervous system adapts to that constant demand by staying ...

In this class we explore alignment.
You will learn where each part of the body ideally lives in space and how it relates to the other parts of the body. We look at how the head stacks over the spine, how the rib cage relates to the pelvis, how the hips sit over the feet, and how the body supports...

In this class we begin combining breath, alignment, and movement.
Using a chair and pillow for support, we work in a seated position to explore the relationship between the pelvis and the rib cage. These two structures create the foundation for both breathing and core support.
When the pelvis and...

This class revisits and deepens your understanding of the relationship between the pelvis and rib cage.
These two structures form the foundation for how the body organizes itself. When the rib cage and pelvis are well aligned in space, the diaphragm can move freely, pressure inside the body is di...

In this class we explore the movement of the pelvis.
Using a chair and pillow for support, you will begin to understand the different ways the pelvis can move and how these movements influence the spine. Many of us lose awareness of the pelvis and its relationship to gravity, which often leads to...

This class focuses on releasing the psoas and relieving tension in the lower back through gentle movement.
The psoas is a deep muscle that connects the spine to the legs. It plays an important role in stabilizing the spine, supporting the pelvis, and helping us move through space. When the psoas ...

This class focuses on releasing tension through the side body, chest, and shoulders.
Many of us carry tightness through the sides of the torso and across the front of the chest from daily habits like sitting, working at devices, and protective postures that round the shoulders forward. When these...

This class focuses on releasing and restoring movement in the mid back — one of the most commonly stiff areas in the body, and one of the most consequential when it loses its mobility.
The mid back, or thoracic spine, is designed to rotate. It is built for it. But modern life — long hours sitting...

This class focuses on releasing tension through fluid, internally guided movement.
Rather than forcing stretches or large external movements, this practice helps you begin moving from your internal experience. You learn to initiate movement from within the body and allow it to expand outward in a...

This class focuses on releasing deep tension in the hips through gentle somatic movement.
The hips often hold both physical and emotional tension. Long periods of sitting, protective movement patterns, and stress can cause the muscles around the hips to tighten and grip, which can pull the pelvis...

This class builds on the previous hip work by introducing larger movements to open and mobilize the hips.
The hips are designed to move freely in multiple directions, but long periods of sitting, tension patterns, and pelvic positioning can restrict that movement. When the pelvis is held in certa...

This class focuses on opening the hips while also building the muscular support needed to stabilize the pelvis.
You will need a yoga brick for this class, or something similar such as a thick book or folded blankets to help support the body in certain positions.
We explore deeper hip stretches th...

This class focuses on releasing tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back before introducing gentle stabilization.
Using a wall and a stable surface such as a door frame or kitchen sink, we create a deep stretch through the back of the body. This helps open areas that commonly hold tension f...

This class continues the work of releasing tension in the shoulders while building the stability needed to support healthy posture.
Using a wall and a doorway or pole, we begin by opening the chest and releasing tightness through the upper back and shoulders. These areas often become restricted f...

This class explores one of the most subtle and transformative ideas in movement — that alignment is not something you force, but something you find.
Most of us have been taught to think about posture from the outside: stand up straight, pull your shoulders back, tuck your chin. But real alignment...

This class deepens your understanding of how the shoulder blades and rib cage work together to support the core.
The shoulder blades are designed to move along the back of the rib cage. When they move well and stay connected to the rib cage, they help create stability through the upper body and s...

This class focuses on discovering and strengthening the deep core while building on the alignment concepts you have already learned.
You will need two light weights or water bottles for this class.
The deep core works most effectively when the rib cage and pelvis are well organized in space. When...

This class focuses on opening the chest through something most people don't expect — building strength in the upper back.
We tend to think of chest opening as a stretching practice, something passive that happens when we pull the shoulders back or fold into a backbend. But the chest stays closed ...

This class focuses on building strength in the hips and legs while developing a deeper awareness of alignment.
We begin by bringing attention to the position of the pelvis and how the legs connect underneath it. When the pelvis and legs are organized well, the hips are able to generate strength a...
