Long and Strong (beginning July)
Lengthen what's short and strengthen what's weak. This class focuses on reclaiming balance and integrity by mobilizing and strengthening the patterns of your body. As you tune into and work with your structural tension dynamics you will learn how to apply this up level to your daily movement practice (the real flex!). Wear comfortable clothing that allows for freedom of movement.
Walking Mindfulness
Every step you take is an opportunity to move forward with intention. Each Walking Mindfulness class will begin with 20-25 minutes of class time during which you will be guided through mobilizing the functional gait pattern. We will then put mindful walking into practice with a 30 minute outdoor walk in the neighborhood intended to empower you with the intention to improve how you move through the world.
*Class will run rain or shine so please dress accordingly. If weather is preventative, class will be held fully in studio.

Chakra Mindfulness
This practice is all about reawakening the energetic superhighway that runs up and down your spine. As you are guided into your body, you will be encouraged to open and expand self-awareness of your physical body and thinking mind as we explore themes and personality archetypes associated with each energy center.
We acknowledge, with great honor and respect, that we draw upon the ancient wisdom of Hinduism and Buddhism as guides and teachers in the practice of self-embodiment and self-awareness. According to these philosophies, the body has seven energy centers, or chakras, starting at the base of the spine and ascending to the crown. This core insight is central to our Chakra class.

There are many ways to navigate this journey and what works for one may not work for another. The important thing is to find what serves you best. The following options allow for variances in privacy and individual attention as well as cost.
- Group classes - Created with accessibility in mind, these classes are great for learning, practicing and navigating your BodyMind healing journey. See our weekly class schedule for days and times.
- Small group sessions - Forming your own small group of 2-4 self-selected individuals allows you to surround yourself with people you trust with the benefit of increased personalization and attention.
- Individual sessions - Offering full privacy and individualization, for some this may be the only way to fly while, for others, 1:1 sessions are an opportunity to address specific physical concerns and get personalized coaching.
How do I prepare?
- Wear soft, comfortable clothing that allows for freedom of movement.
- Be prepared to lay on your back on the floor. Yoga mats, blankets and bolsters are provided but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
- Bring water, tea or what ever you like to whet your whistle.
- Come with an open mind and a willingness to meet your body and self at a new understanding.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

The definition of “baseline” is the balance between tension and relaxation. This tangible space of balance is where you have the greatest capacity of influence over your physical and metaphysical self.
Much like the “hum” of an electrical power plant, your nervous system hums too and that hum can be measured as a waveform. The peak of that frequency is your active baseline, and the valley is your passive baseline.
The Active and Passive Baseline classes will teach you how to find, feel and work with your baseline empowering you with tools and understanding about how to influence and regulate your nervous system. Meeting your body at this subtle balance between tension and relaxation allows your nervous system to find safety and ease thereby expanding its window of adaptability.
Expanding the window of space between your active and passive baselines:
Begin your BodyMind journey on either side of the bridge.
There is no one way to do anything including body/mind healing. While some seek pain relief from the physical body, others are more intent on healing their emotional wounds. Then, there are those equally intent on both.
Whether Long and Strong, Walking Mindfulness or a Chakra Mindfulness class, choose the entry point that most resonates with you. If you have questions or would like to discuss your particular situation and needs, feel free to reach out via the contact page or schedule a complimentary 20-30 minute consultation.

Expanding the window of space between your active and passive baselines:
- Decreases the volume of your neurological resting state
- Turns up the volume of neural under-activity (after all, your body is a balance-seeking tension system)
- Expands the window of adaptability of your nervous system
- Improves the capacity of your nervous system to navigate and manage stress.
