What a beautiful space to experience so much release! I am so grateful to everyone who showed up and placed their trust in my facilitation & placed trust in theirselves 🥲! Thank you thank you THANK YOU so much. I can’t wait to do this again. Stay tuned for the next one friends 🫶🏼

a snippet from my weekly newsletter:

i remember a time where i was detached…

I was laying down, trying to ground myself after an intense session of breathwork the other day.

Mind you, before breathwork I took a yoga sculpt class that really got my central nervous system alert and energized. (big love to )

It's common in breathwork to be brought deep into past memories/experiences and as I laid there with my cramped up hands and full body tingles, I was brought back to a time where I felt completely detached from myself. 

A time where I purposefully leaned away from myself & moved toward external forces to help me avoid the things I wasn't ready to face.

And as I was reminiscing it got me thinking how drastically things have changed from then to now. I thought to myself how I used to avoid these feelings at all costs and now here I am actively putting my nervous system in shock so I can feel all the feels.

So you see, this is the beauty of practice. We can get caught up in old memories and past situations but we can be reminded of how things were, and how we have grown & evolved from them.

I think that after years and years of stepping away from myself has taught me to no longer abandon myself. Because I now know that I have everything I need to heal already within.

Lately, words have been speaking to me. She writes,
"I am learning to leave anything that asks me to leave myself. I am learning to walk at the center, not outside of it. I am learning to be in my body. This beautiful body. This is the work. The tender work. The most important work."

If you would like to try this practice of breathwork, join me Thursday 7pm pst or Friday 9am pst for a 30 minute session. We will start with a slower pace of breath to help you ease into the practice. Link in bio to sign up✨

Happy Monday Loves!

I am also offering 1:1 Breathwork sessions if you would like to dive a bit deeper into inner healing work.

HELLO friends !

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve updated on this page. I wanted to reach out to you lovely souls to give you an up to date schedule.

As you are well aware, we have made some BIG shifts in our lifestyles these past 11 months. A lot of us were completely uprooted from the comfy + cozy lifestyles we became accustomed to. We have definitely learned to navigate through the uncharted waters 2020 granted us with.

I will say, there’s been SO much good that came out of the uprooting. I moved to the west coast just shy of 4 years ago and have missed my east coast loves that I use to practice with on the regular. But now, we have found a new way to connect! If there’s one thing I’m grateful for (technology wise), it is the opportunity to reconnect with you all virtually!

That being said, I decided to make private group sessions a thing! This provides us a sense of community + a chance to reconnect to your practice. It’s accessible and affordable to all. VinYin are my favorite classes to teach, a blend of vinyasa (breath to movement) and yin (passive practice-longer holds). Here are some details:

•meet every Monday evening
•60 minute classes. 30-40 minutes of vinyasa+20-25 minutes of yin
•you’ll have an option to schedule a private session with me to break down the practice
•breathwork + different breathing exercise are included in every class
•always have a fun playlist! Can always send song requests too

Feel free to reach out with any questions, and if you’d like to join us next month send me a message with your email! Share with your friends and family.

Like many of you, I lost 2/3 of my jobs as a result of the pandemic. I’m finally stepping out of my comfort zone and creating my own business/brand. I would be more than grateful for your support!

I want to emphasize that not only are you supporting me, but you are supporting yourself. This is an amazing opportunity for you to deepen the relationship you have to yourself, to your body. I wholeheartedly believe that when we start to heal ourselves, we can heal the world.

Sending you all SO much love from the bottom of my heart ❣️
