Please sign up if you plan to come so that the teacher knows to arrive! Please unregister if your plans change!

A flow class that is focused on preparing the body through movement and breath before settling into stillness. Get the most out of your hour by choosing to either journal or to meditate for the last 15 minutes of class after an extended savasana. Bring writing materials, along with your yoga mat and any props you would like to support you through each aspect of class. There will be a journal prompt offered with short guided meditation before giving you space to experience your practice.

The practice is supportive for all abilities, experiences, and identities.

Donation-first (or no pay at all) so that financial barriers to care are minimized and community care is maximized. 15% of each class’s donations will go directly and immediately to a monthly, community chosen organization working for social justice.

This is a trans affirming, culture embracing, ancestor honoring, fat celebrating, social justice demanding movement practice that allows you to experience yourself as your own healer.

Alaina (she/her) was reintroduced to yoga through a colleague who shared her story of how she decided to become a Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher. It wasn't a decision of if but where because she knew it felt right. After researching for a local trauma informed training program and a lengthy call with the studio she had found online, she commited with her whole heart and head. Through the training she found beauty and comfort in an ancient practice that woke up so many aspects of her life. After a long struggle with Postpartum Depression/OCD, she found herself reconnected to her body and unlearning the expectations of what life was supposed to look like as a working parent and a woman. After leaving corporate life, she has dedicated herself to bringing movement back into others lives so they can work towards unlearning either expectations and reconnecting to their bodies as they are today.
