It's more than Yoga

Slower, built on what the nervous system is doing rather than what the shape looks like. Here we get curious about what's happening on the mat.

Come as you are

A moving counselling session: taught to the group, felt personally. We use the wisdom of yoga and the intelligence of the body to make sense of what you're feeling, and to ground back into the body until you find the safety switch again.

No experience needed and no bendiness required. Wear anything you can breathe in. Rest is always an option, and every shape has a softer version.

What a class is actually like

You arrive. Nobody is watching to see whether you can do it. We start where your body actually is that morning, not where a sequence says it should be.

Then we move slowly, with more breath than shape. When something tightens, we get curious about it, because that is where the gold is. When something wants to rest, it rests, and the rest is doing as much work as the movement.

Arrive and land. No assessment and no comparisons
Breath first, always, because that is where the nervous system listens
Movement slow enough that you can feel it while it is happening
Room to notice what comes up, out loud or not at all
Start to understand your own body... fascia, yoga and physiology, in plain language
Rest at the end that builds body wisdom and awareness

Breath and presence as practice, not belief.

You don't have to take on a philosophy to be here. You only have to be ready to witness what your body is wanting to say.

Who finds their way here

Bodies in a hard season... healing, treating, or waiting
People who have been told to relax and have no idea how
Chronic pain, fatigue, and conditions that don't show
Grief that has quietly settled somewhere physical
Anyone who long ago decided they are not a yoga person
Counselling clients who want the body part, on a mat
