Yoga, Core, & Movement
Movement facilitates our ability to live peacefully within our bodies, and oftentimes, it can be especially difficult to live in our bodies when stress, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and various other issues are involved. We are so happy to be collaborating with these lovely individuals who can help reintroduce you to movement in the current state of your body. They bring gifts of kindness and compassion through their knowledge of the connection we have with our bodies. Our movement space is fully ADA-accessible.
