This is Mama Suzanne.

An artist. A mother. A woman who carries generations of wisdom through her hands.

I met her during a Thai Yoga Bodywork session. When I reached her shoulders, her body spoke.

A tree once fell on her.
She once sank to the bottom of a river.

And still… she’s here.

I felt the strength in her soul. The quiet resilience that so many women carry without ever being seen.

In this photo, she sits facing her daughter at our retreat.

For six hours, she rested.
She breathed.
She created.

No dishes. No responsibilities. No one to take care of.

Just her.

Receiving.

For this Mother’s Day, can you give your mom what she truly needs?

A space to be held. Join us on Saturday May 9th. ❤️

Joua, I am so sorry for what you’ve been through. Your story is one that NO ONE should ever have to live through. What happened to you was not your fault. Your strength in being here, in sharing, in continuing forward, matters. You deserve safety, care, and to be surrounded by people who honor and respect you. Thank you for the 20 plus years you’ve done around sexual assault, speaking up for those who couldn’t. Thank you for inviting me to share this space with you, to bring breathing, grounding and healing back to the body. Thank you to Augsburg University for sponsoring this Mental Health workshop.

"I don't practice yoga, what if I can't do the poses at the retreat?"

There will be no dynamic yoga sequence at Held: a Mother's Day Retreat. We will move slowly, holding our poses to connect deeply with our bodies. The intention is to cultivate awareness, noticing where we're collecting and storing our stress and expectations.

We will focus on connecting with our breath, following it to bring us back home to our body.

Reserve your spot, and join us on Saturday, May 9th from 10:00am-3:30pm. https://www.soulyayoga.com/event-details/held-a-mothers-day-retreat

Review from our past retreat attendee:

"Soul Ya Yoga would be a great place to check out if you, like me, need to be more present in your body or want to try out yoga and meditation without feeling judged."

Stillness gives us information on where we’ve been collecting and storing energy. Many can’t sit with discomfort without the need to fix, to make things better…quickly. In Yin Yoga, we receive this wisdom of where we hold, and we feel the relief after the release. We get so intimate in listening to our bodies that at times, it can bring us to tears. Tears in the realization that we’ve been abandoning ourselves in the pursuit of becoming enough. In yin we remember that we already are. Join us every Saturday 9-10:15am.

Why do we hold on to so much? Because space requires creativity, clarity, and imagination. Some times, holding on is easier, to continue with the flow of life as it is..this continuation is predictable, but is it healthy for us? When we are still, we recognize predictability isn’t always safety. So we begin to slowly soften, and after 60 minutes, we experience a moment of safety we haven’t felt in a long time. Where there is safety, there is surrender. Join us every Friday for Yoga Nidra 6-7pm at the studio.

I get excited about my new props! Yoga bolsters to support the legs in Yoga Nidra. Also looking forward to use these for an upcoming restorative class! Can’t wait to share.

Cold plunge for Youth Leadership Initiative in MN spring weather 40s degrees, light rain, and 100+ degree sauna.

In the sauna, Nou asked us to reflect on something brave we’ve done and this is definitely on that list.

What’s something brave you’ve done lately?
And would you join us next time?

—-
What to do differently next time? Wear those waterproof socks because what got cold first were my feet! And walking out of the lake was the hardest.

Other than that, have more people there to share this experience with. It was definitely worth it for a great cause. We went in and out of the lake 3-4 times, the best part was the sauna and meeting great friends!

Thank you Nou for organizing, let’s do it again! 😁

I created Held: a Mother's Day Retreat for them… for my mom, and my mother-in-law.

As the oldest of seven, born to a mother who had me so young, I grew up holding more than I understood.

The last 7 years have been a journey of unraveling
grief that wasn’t named
pain that was passed down
stories that were never mine to carry

And slowly, I chose to release it.

Not to forget
but to free myself
and the women who came before me.

Today, I can hold space for them in a different way
with softness, with presence, with love.

This retreat is an honoring
a returning
a chance to finally say…
you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.

In community, you are held
in the here and now
You are loved, protected and guided.

I invite you to bring your moms and come join us. This is a one-of-a-kind retreat conducted in the Hmong language.

Intentional with every hour to go slow, to listen, to turn inward.

There is no performance, just breathing and gentle movement.
