Step onto your mat and into a deeper connection with yourself.
This 2-hour beginner-friendly workshop is designed for anyone who is new to yoga, returning after time away, or wanting to build confidence in the fundamentals.

We’ll slow everything down, break things apart, and help you understand the why behind the practice so you feel empowered to step into any class with ease.

What You’ll Learn

✨ Foundational postures — Clear guidance on alignment, how poses should feel in your body, and safe modifications for all levels.
✨ Breathwork basics — Learn simple breathing techniques to calm the mind, energize the body, and support you through movement.
✨ Flow breakdown — We’ll walk through common yoga transitions step-by-step so nothing feels intimidating or rushed.
✨ Props + support — Explore how blocks, straps, and bolsters help you find more comfort, strength, and stability.
✨ Mind–body awareness — Gentle mindfulness practices to help you drop into your body and connect with your breath.

What to Expect

This workshop blends education, movement, and personal exploration. Expect hands-on guidance (optional), time for questions, and a warm, welcoming environment. You’ll leave feeling confident, connected, and ready to join group classes with less hesitation and more joy.

✨ Tae is traveling to the Soo!
I’m so excited to be guest-teaching outside of our studio and joining the wonderful Lola Kennedy at Northern Life Yoga for a special Winter Solstice workshop, The Darkest Night.

We’ll guide you through a grounding flow, a soothing Yoga Nidra, and optional hands-on or hands-off Reiki to help you settle into the stillness of the longest night of the year.
I’d love to see some familiar faces in the Soo as we honor the return of the light together.
