Yoga retreat in Pacific City, OR this weekend 🖤

I want to emphasize this first: Sixth Gate Yoga is a dedicated safe space for all gender identities, all bodies, and all lived experiences.
There is zero tolerance for hate, discrimination, or exclusion of any kind.

We are opening this summer in Webster Groves, MO!
Please share and like the page to help us grow 🖤

✨ I’m looking to **hire two more teachers** to work with me. ✨
🧘‍♀️Yoga teacher friends looking for a new or additional teaching location in that area, please DM me! 🧘‍♂️

Sixth Gate overall is a very specific kind of yoga studio, but open to ALL types of classes and special events ❤️

We specialize in restorative, gentle, and yin yoga, along with breathwork, anxiety relief practices, and sound healing. Everything offered here is designed to support nervous system regulation, physical ease, emotional processing, and deep rest.

The intention of Sixth Gate is to build a community of like-minded individuals that goes beyond just yoga alone.

People should leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and ideally in less pain—no matter what form that pain takes: physical, emotional, nervous system, or soul-deep exhaustion.

🎵 Sound Baths will be thoughtfully designed using different frequencies, intentions, and categories, supporting everything from deep rest and sleep to emotional release and energetic reset.

🎨 Beyond yoga, Sixth Gate will also host group experiences involving art, sound, and creative expression, offering new ways to connect, process, and build community together.

Because this studio is just beginning to take shape, suggestions are very welcome.
If you have ideas, offerings, or concepts you’d love to see, please message me.

✨ If you are a teacher interested in offering classes aligned with this vision, or if you’d like to be considered for one of the two teaching positions, I would love to hear from you.

This space is being built slowly, intentionally, and with care.
More details soon. 🖤

Sitting with your shadow self" is a practice of exploring and accepting your repressed emotions, fears, and desires, also known as shadow work. The goal is to foster personal growth and healing by connecting with your unconscious mind.

Here are some tips for sitting with your shadow self:

Practice acceptance and forgiveness: Learn to replace shame with acceptance and forgiveness.

Reflect when triggered: Instead of distracting yourself, sit and reflect when you're triggered.

Listen to your shadow: Treat your shadow side like a child who needs to be heard and understood.

Be compassionate: Have compassion for the parts of yourself that you might not like.

Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness can help you tune into the patterns of your shadow.

Consider your duality: Realize that there is more than one perspective to any situation.

Some say that facing your shadow can involve confronting shame, vulnerability, alienation, envy, guilt, or blame.

It can be a difficult journey, but the goal is wholeness, not perfection.

Shadow work isn’t about correcting a flaw. It’s about reclaiming the parts of you that were exiled to survive.

Your shadow is the part of you that got rejected — sometimes by others, and sometimes by you.

It’s the version of you that learned certain feelings weren’t acceptable.

That certain needs were “too much.” Or that parts of your personality had to be hidden to stay loved, safe, or included.

So you left those parts behind.

You learned to silence yourself before someone else could… To shrink before you were rejected — and to override your own truth just to keep connection.

That’s self-abandonment.

Shadow work isn’t about dragging those parts into the light and forcing them to change.

It’s about going back for the parts of you that you once decided were unworthy of being held.

Healing begins when you stop rejecting the parts of yourself that were only trying to protect you — and start becoming the one who stays.

Not because you’re broken, but because you finally deserve not to be left by the one person who can choose to stay: you.

✨ What’s the difference between Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra? ✨

🌿 Yin Yoga
Yin is a slow, floor-based practice that gently works into connective tissue, joints, and fascia. Poses are held longer, allowing muscles to soften and circulation to increase. Over time, this can support flexibility, mobility, and joint health, while also creating a grounded, calming effect on the nervous system.

🌙 Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is centered on calming the nervous system through deep, fully supported rest. Props are used so the body can relax completely with little to no effort. This practice can be especially supportive for stress, burnout, chronic pain, and trauma recovery, helping the body move out of fight-or-flight and into a state of safety and ease.

💤 Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practiced lying down. The body rests deeply while awareness remains gently present. This practice supports profound nervous system rest, similar to the deepest stages of sleep, and can help with fatigue, anxiety, and sleep quality.

✨ In simple terms:
Yin supports flexibility and connective tissue
Restorative supports nervous system calming and safety
Yoga Nidra supports deep mental and physical restoration
