The Teal Yogi

10/31/2025

You ever come home from a looooong day and the dishes have staged a coup? I speed-ran a whole true-crime episode in my head — dramatic music, wild accusations — and then I remembered something radical: breathe. (Also snacks.)

If your brain goes a little dark this Halloween, bring it to class — we’ll turn that energy into something oddly calming and very human. First class FREE — https://thetealyogi.com/free-class 🕯️🧘‍♀️

Feeling like you can only have some of what you want?
Sleep, calm, energy, focus… juggling it all can feel impossible.
The truth is, your body is constantly trying to tell you what it needs — safety, release, space to breathe. Trauma-sensitive yoga gives you a way to start reclaiming more than just “two” of these things, gently and sustainably.
✨ Your first class is on us — come see how it feels to finally get a little more back for yourself.

Ever feel like your body is constantly yelling at you to slow down — and you just keep ignoring it?

This year, my body has been my toughest teacher. Some days it’s a whisper. Some days it’s a full-blown wall of fatigue, pain, or tension that I can’t push through. I’ve learned the hard way that ignoring it only costs me more — more exhaustion, more overwhelm, more heartbreak over what my body can’t do that day.

Living with chronic pain or trauma isn’t about weakness. It’s about learning to listen, to honor limits, and to regulate a nervous system that doesn’t always cooperate. Somatic movement, gentle yoga, breathwork, journaling, and even physical therapy or myofascial release have become my tools for reconnecting with myself — for reclaiming safety in a body that sometimes feels unsafe.

It’s not easy. Some days I override. But each moment I choose to pause and listen, I learn something new about what it means to truly care for myself.

Last week’s post hit a nerve — and I understand why.

So many of you reached out sharing your own stories of being dismissed, misunderstood, or failed by the healthcare system. Others just messaged to say, “I had no idea.” Both meant the world.

Living with an invisible illness can be incredibly isolating. You can look “fine” and still be fighting your body every single day — searching for support, answers, or simply a moment of peace.

I didn’t create The Teal Yogi because of this journey.
But being part of a community that understands everyone has a story — whether you’re navigating something emotional, physical, or both — makes a huge difference.

✨ Your first class is on us. Come see what it feels like to move, breathe, and be supported — exactly as you are.
