All session will be held in the NYX Lounge space

When we experience trauma, our bodies hold onto it. This can lead to pain throughout the body, particularly in the hips, back, and shoulders. This 6-week series will introduce us to Somatic Yoga, a practice that allows us to meet our bodies with self-awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness. Through slow, gentle movement, mindful attention, and the power of breath, we will enter a safe space to promote healing and wholeness.
This series will introduce ways of using deliberate physical movements that can aid in releasing physical tension and the emotional connection our bodies cling to after traumatic events. We will explore the mind/body connection, especially through the breath.
This is an invitation to heal.
Each class will last 90 minutes, and participants should bring a journal or notebook and something to write with. Dress in loose, comfortable clothes.
If you cannot commit to all six sessions, please come when you can; learn, release, heal.

Corporate Events
Do you have great employees or volunteers you’d like to bless with the gift of yoga? Interested in doing something as a team that nourishes while bringing people together?
Consider offering yoga as an option. We can do a one-off event, or we can offer regular events throughout the year.
Joyful Gatherings can come to you or host your event at one of our partner studios.
Joyful Events
Looking for a way to celebrate the milestones in your life? Whether you’re having a special birthday (and aren’t they all special) celebrating an accomplishment, hosting a weekend with good friends, or planning a bridal shower or bachelorette party, consider including a private yoga event.
You can host your event at one of our partner studios or in the location of your choosing. Joyful Gatherings can provide mats, bolsters, blocks, and yoga straps.
The instructor will provide pre-event consultation to design the perfect experience.
Private Instruction
There are many reasons people may want to study yoga in a private or semi-private setting. Whether you feel nervous about practicing with others at this point, want to build skills, or simply cannot fit a class into your busy schedule, we will try our best to meet your needs.
We can come to your home or office, or arrange with one of our partner studios.
Private sessions are 75-minutes and are tailored to meet your needs.
