Whether through group classes, workshops, or tailored programming, our goal is to foster connection, healing, and empowerment. Let’s work together to bring these transformative experiences to your community.

Councils on Aging

Join me for Gentle Chair Yoga at several Councils on Aging in the Pioneer Valley. Build community while connecting with yourself and finding inner and outer strength. These classes begin and end in a chair with some standing flows in between, using the chair as a prop. Seated alternatives are offered as well.

Dress for Success Western MA

I am so excited to be partnering with the incredible team at Dress for Success Western MA to offer Gentle Yoga classes. Gentle Yoga classes are healing and relaxing, giving you the option to practice in a chair or on the mat. It is a combination of meditative breathing and gentle movements while sitting that you are invited to do, if you feel comfortable. This class is open to all women and non-binary folx. 

​

These drop in classes are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis because we believe that one's financial status should never be a barrier to self-care. No one turned away for lack of funds.

​

"The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women and non-binary members to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life."

Greater Holyoke YMCA

I now offer yoga at The Greater Holyoke YMCA every Tuesday from 10:15-11:15am

​

You decide whether you'd like to practice in a chair or on a mat.

There is no better. There is no worse. There is only what is true in your body in this moment.

​

The Greater Holyoke YMCA delivers on its mission of helping all in the greater Holyoke community achieve their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body, "by serving as a premier organization promoting community wellness and family enrichment through cause-driven programs that focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility."

Hampshire College

I am so honored to offer private classes for the Survivor Community at Hampshire College. These classes are designed to be welcoming and accessible to all bodies and all abilities. Using invitational language and variations, these classes integrate trauma-informed principles and strengths-based approaches, incorporating philosophy, movement, and breathwork to guide every body toward autonomy and self-acceptance.

​

Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, is among the most innovative colleges in the country. Students at Hampshire pursue their passions by designing their own programs of study and recruiting a faculty committee to guide them on their path of intellectual discovery. Through active, engaged, and collaborative learning, students become creators of knowledge and are encouraged to connect their academic work and the wider world.

Western MA Wellness & Recovery Center

It is my great honor to offer weekly classes to the men at the Western MA Wellness & Recovery Center. These classes encourage participants to turn inward, reconnecting with themselves and their autonomy, while finding joy in movement.

​

The Western Massachusetts Recovery and Wellness Center (WMRWC), a component of the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office, is a minimum security, community-based, residential treatment facility. This co-ed regional facility, located at 155 Mill Street in Springfield, Massachusetts, is designed to provide for the custody, care and treatment of substance users from Hampden, Franklin, Berkshire, Hampshire and Worcester counties.

The philosophy of the WMRWC staff incorporates an integrated model of education, treatment and recovery to address addiction. We subscribe to the disease concept, with abstinence as an avenue to recovery.

​

These classes are made possible thanks to a generous donation from The Seed to Flower Fund
