Hello, Beautiful Soul.

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.”
— Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score

Many of us find it hard to be in the body—especially after pain, trauma, or disconnection. In Body Meditation, we don’t do this alone. Together, we gently and courageously return to the body—one breath, one mindful movement at a time. (Courage)

Inspired by Hanna Somatics and somatic yoga, this trauma-sensitive practice helps you become aware of your inner experience and begin to befriend what’s happening inside. Sometimes we practice rest. Sometimes we explore strength. Always, we move slowly and meditatively—not to perform, but to feel what’s alive in the body. (Clarity)

This is not a workout. It’s a conversation—with sensation, with your parts, and with your Self. (Compassion)

We weave in Internal Family Systems (IFS) by welcoming the parts that may arise—those that avoid, judge, or push the body. We honor these protectors with appreciation, listen openly, and create space for their deeper truths to emerge. (Curiosity)

Using voluntary pandiculation—mindful contraction, slow release, and rest—we unwind tension patterns, regulate the nervous system, and invite the body to be seen and held. We pause often to sense what’s here—physically, emotionally, and energetically. (Calm)

When we feel safe and connected to our bodies—supported by the ventral vagal state—we can truly experience Self-energy in an embodied way. (Connectedness)

This is a trauma-sensitive space. There is always choice: to stop, rest, modify movement, or move in a completely intuitive way. (Creativity) We let go of agenda and let the body lead. Your care for yourself is what matters most. (Confidence)

These classes are recorded so you can return to the practice throughout the week. All participants will be muted and not visible in the recording. When it’s time to share, the recording will be stopped so we can connect and integrate together.

Come as you are—bring your curiosity, your doubt, your exhaustion, your hope. Every part of you is welcome here. And we walk this path together.
