The Embodied Way: Small Group Series
Nourishment for Body & Soul
Drawing from Eugene Peterson's A Long Obedience in the Same Direction and the Psalms of Ascent — the songs pilgrims sang on their way up to Jerusalem — this six-week series is an invitation to walk a slower, faithful road toward wholeness & healing.
Held in small groups (max 6 women) our time will include:
optional 30-minute pre-class consultation (in-person, zoom or phone) to help build our time towards what you need most.
one hour of therapeutic yoga — gentle flow, yin, and restorative, with customized instruction along the way
30 minutes for sauna, tea & conversation following- space to rest & enjoy time with friends
practices to take home to help integrate spiritual formation and healing into your week, your body, your faith
If you’re the one everyone else leans on- this session might be for you. Learn to embrace your callings & passions- while honouring your limits and capacity through nervous system regulation and nourishing movement practices.

Private Therapeutic Sessions
What can I expect?
We treat you as a whole person: body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The first session is 75 minutes, including ~30 minutes discussing your concerns, health history, and goals. We'll then use gentle movement to assess mobility and identify areas to address, and introduce breathwork and relaxation with simple routines to practice. We recommend 4–6 sessions for lasting change.

Customized Small Groups
After a consultation, we’ll meet in small groups for therapeutic yoga and movement designed to provide more individualized attention and care towards your theme or need of choice! Choose a favourite book study, or we can create a series based on a physical need. Bring your ideas & your friends!
In addition to customized movement practice, each session can include scripture meditation, guided breathwork, and prayer to support spiritual and emotional healing. A wood-burning sauna is available after every class for added relaxation and restoration. (Interested in starting a small group class with a group of friends?
