Here’s a couple different views of shoulder opening with chest expansion.
Slow inhales through the nose and long exhales out of your mouth.
Let your back settle in the ground, allow elbows, back of arms to hands trace the floor. Allow the ribs and diaphragm to expand as your breath. with legs elevated on pillows, couch, or up the wall…
Next, grounding roots through your feet, bend your knees, hug your belly to your spine. expand your space from the roots to branches of your arms with shoulder blade together as you reach up and out. Pulling energy down with your hands and shake it out at the bottom.

Wise words from an amazing teacher! ✨❤️✨
🕊️ A Quiet Yes: The Subtle Power of Noticing 🕊️
Sometimes, healing begins not with force, but with a quiet yes.
It’s that soft moment when we notice—a tight jaw, a flutter in the chest, a held breath—and instead of trying to fix or force it away, we simply pause.
In that pause, something profound happens. The body recognizes safety. Energy stops bracing against invisible threats. And healing, in its own time, begins to unfold.
In Somatic Mindfulness, we call this ‘I-Feel’ Proficiency—the practice of noticing sensations with genuine curiosity, not to reach a state, but to be with what is.
✨ It’s not about changing.
✨ It’s not about controlling.
✨ It’s about arriving—fully, softly, here.
Read more about this gentle yet powerful practice in my latest Dimensions article.

Holistic Bodywork sessions with me are a combination of techniques based on what we discuss in your consultation. We’ll discover what would help you achieve the goals for your physical situation through bodywork. Being able to let go of physical patterns from stress and injuries can offer an opportunity to connect with yourself while discovering a new way to unwind the patterns that have been holding your body in postural positions. Even your system protecting you from old events that have been stuck can find a way to release and you can let it go, helping yourself move forward. Reach out with any questions. For more information and to book sessions- Links in Bio!
I look forward to working with you!

Learn to connect your body and mind through intentional, expansive movements. Movement Arts classes combine fundamentals of Yoga and Aikido to learn to blend and harmonize from postures to poses and centering to entering. Being conscious of the space within as well as the outer world we live in. Yoga helps us build the conversation within ourselves so we can learn about our own framework through focusing on alignment and finding our individual expressions. Aikido allows us the opportunity to see how we use that to interact with the world and what we can be in control of to make ourselves an intentional presence by learning to blend, move, redirect, while knowing our worth and taking care of each other. Our Aikido portion of the Movement Arts class begins with expanding our own centers beyond the edge of our physical space, beyond the reach of just our own well being, building on concepts of how to handle stress energetically and physically without working with partners.
By knowing that our space is worth holding, without shielding or freezing up, and that the attacks of the world do not all need our aggressive engagement, they don’t need to be ignored either. Our awareness is paramount.
Movement Arts is accessible for beginners with no experience in either Yoga or Aikido as well as those who have practiced either or both for years. Students (including the instructor, because this is their medicine too) will have the opportunity to workshop something at their own level of ability. We could all benefit from a chance to meet our feet and build stronger foundations to any contact point on the ground while we practice expanding and get to feel how big our reach really can be out of consideration and care. This heart based, progressive work on every level. Taking time to find the spots that can be allowed to soften, the parts of us that need supported, in an environment where each class takes the shape of those who are in it. By meeting each student where they are on each given day, we’re working towards just taking an hour at a time to remember that it takes a village to live in this life and you are an essential part of it. Thank you for being here. Thank you for taking the time.
