Kundalini Yoga at the Morton Arboretum
Mondays | 10:00 – 11:00 AM

Start your week feeling calm, clear, and connected through Kundalini yoga. These classes are designed to help you reset your nervous system, move energy through the body, and reconnect with yourself in a peaceful natural setting.

We meet indoors, and when the weather is 60° and sunny or warmer, we take the practice outside among the trees.

Why Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini yoga combines gentle movement, breathwork, meditation, and mantra to support both emotional and physical well-being. Many people notice they leave class feeling more grounded, relaxed, and mentally clear.

Benefits include:
• Calming the nervous system
• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Increasing energy and focus
• Supporting emotional balance
• Improving breathing and circulation
• Feeling more connected to yourself and nature

This class is welcoming to beginners and experienced students alike. You don’t need to be flexible or have yoga experience — just come as you are.

Practicing in the Arboretum adds another layer of healing, allowing you to slow down and reconnect with the natural world while caring for your body and mind.

We gathered in circle to honor our dear sister Natalie as she prepares to welcome new life into the world.

Surrounded by candlelight, flowers, prayers, and loving hands, we created a sacred space to hold her in strength and softness. Each woman brought her presence, her blessings, and her intention, weaving together a circle of support that Natalie can carry with her into birth.

There were affirmations spoken, beads strung with love, stories shared, and quiet moments of connection. We honored the sacredness of birth and the deep wisdom of a woman stepping into motherhood.

Natalie, you are held.
You are supported.
You are surrounded by love.

What a beautiful night of sisterhood, devotion, and remembrance that birth is not meant to be walked alone.

So much love for you and your growing family.

Hi, I’m Christine, a therapist at Laura Listens.

I work with individuals who are ready to create real change and want therapy that feels supportive, grounded, and interactive.

I may be a good fit if you’re struggling with:
✨ Anxiety or constant overthinking
✨ People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
✨ Shame, low self-worth, or feeling “not enough”
✨ Depression or emotional heaviness
✨ Life transitions and feeling stuck

My approach is warm and collaborative, and we focus on both:
⭐ what’s happening in your life right now
⭐ the deeper roots and patterns underneath it

I also integrate creative and body-based tools when helpful, so therapy isn’t just talking, it’s learning how to reconnect with yourself.

If you’re ready to feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally steady, I’d love to support you.

Ever notice how your mind loves to replay conversations, worry about the future, or narrate your entire life while you’re just trying to breathe?

That’s the default mode network doing its thing. It’s basically the brain’s “storyteller.”

Meditation and Kundalini both help quiet that inner narrator, just in different ways.

Meditation gently teaches us to notice thoughts without getting pulled into them. Over time, the mind softens, there’s more space, and we feel a little more grounded in the present moment.

Kundalini often goes straight through the body. Breath, movement, and sound interrupt the mental loops more quickly, helping us drop out of thinking and into sensing. Less story. More presence.

Neither is better. Both are powerful.
Both invite us out of our heads and back into ourselves.

And if you’ve ever felt emotional, calm, released, or deeply connected after a practice, that’s not random. That’s your nervous system finding a new rhythm.

Your mind doesn’t need to be fixed.
It just needs moments of rest.
