✨ Y12SR Update ✨

I wanted to share that I’ll be closing out Y12SR classes at the end of this year. This community has meant so much to me, and I’m truly grateful for everyone who has shown up, shared vulnerably, and practiced alongside me. Holding space with all of you has been an honor.

In the new year, I’ll be focusing on TCTSY (Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga) and facilitating at one of Caz Recovery’s residential treatment programs—work that feels deeply aligned with my commitment to supporting trauma survivors and folks in early recovery.

If you’d like to join before we wrap up, there are two final Y12SR classes in December: 12/9 and 12/23.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Just finished listening to Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily & Amelia Nagoski and I can't stop talking about it! Stress on our bodies literally takes years off of our lives. We need to deal with the stress so that we can better handle the stressors. Our body has its own language; it's not enough to distract or tell ourselves "I'll feel better when....". We need to support our bodies in completing the stress cycle so that we can flow in and out of our stress response effectively. The authors talk about the many ways we can support our bodies and nervous systems in doing this, but physical activity/movement is the #1 most effective. Other ways include a good cry or laugh, a creative outlet, physical affection from a loved one, diaphragmatic breathing, and/or a positive social interaction.

Happy New Year! When I listen closely I can hear the water flowing beneath this frozen exterior. There is so much to appreciate about winter, I’m beginning to lean into what this season has to offer 🙏🏻
