Holiday Self Care Events - November + December 2023

Join me for my annual Holiday Self-Care restorative events and give yourself the gift of ease, peace, and rest! We know self-care is the important work of nourishing and nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits - making time for rest and recharging.

Each year we gather together for these sacred self-care events with very gentle movement, breathwork, guided meditation, collective care community time, and a delicious supported rest.

Breathe, soften, and hold space for each other to ask for what we need/ offer what we have to give. We’ll be coming together in support and sacred community!


No previous experience with yoga or meditation is necessary. This is a wonderful event to experience with a loved one - they’ll appreciate the calming and restorative time as well! The events are hosted on Zoom with the option to have your camera on or off, depending on what feels right for you.


Ready to sign up?

Register for one date for $40 or both for $65

Want to gift the event to a loved one? Register for both dates and email me to let me know which date you’ll both attend.

Shift: Spring 2023

The transitions between seasons can feel challenging when we don’t acknowledge the different needs our bodies and minds have during these times.

Shift is a seasonal workshop where we come together in softness to find our way through the transition time - together.

Let’s move intuitively to be mindfully present in our bodies, journal to put into words what’s going on in our heads, and give and get support in our community conversations. There will be time for small group discussions and space in the larger group to share if you feel like it. There’s no pressure to share, be seen, or do anything that doesn’t feel right for you.

Choose the date that works for your schedule! Both workshops will be live on zoom, and the room will open 15 minutes early so you can get settled in a ready with no stress or rushing. No experience needed!


The Fat Future Retreat - January 2023

Let’s start the new year off together! Join us as we hold this space for each other to experience the safety and support to be loud, be seen, find validation from within, and experiment with expressing ourselves in different ways.

This retreat is about unapologetically taking up space! You deserve to honor and celebrate your body, your skin, your mind, and your spirit!

Together we’ll explore nature and movement, experiment with style and clothing to express our true selves, and learn about our options and rights when it comes to adorning our bodies with tattoos. 10 optional tattoo sessions will be available to add on a beautiful tattoo from Lindsey at her comfortable fat-friendly studio!


New Year’s Day Intention Setting Workshop - Jan 2023

The new year is a time of transition from old to new, and it brings the opportunity to connect with yourself, clarify intentions, and leave what’s not working in the past.

Let’s come together in community and step into 2022 with a fresh perspective and clear intention for the year ahead!

Make space for what you want, need, and deserve!

This workshop is for everyone, no experience needed.

Together we’ll set a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings about 2022, sharing only what we want, and taking plenty of time to clarify what we want to leave behind or take with us into the new year. We’ll practice calming and grounding breathwork, move in very gentle ways, and set our intentions for 2023.

This is a gentle, slow, and nourishing workshop for easing into what’s next with self-compassion and peace.

props 101 workshop graphic.jpg

Yoga is truly for EVERY BODY! However, I know how intimidating it can be to take class and not know how to support your body in the best ways. I created this workshop to help newer yogis learn tips and tricks to find support and ease in their practice. It all starts with props!

This 2-hr workshop will cover the most common yoga props and give you the details! Together we’ll explore:

  • what each prop does and how they can offer support and challenge

  • where to buy them AND how to DIY a version at home

  • experimenting with each prop and trying new ways to use them safely

  • Active and passive ways to use props to keep your practice fresh

  • all the questions you have about props and pose-specific tips!


The Threshold Virtual Retreat: January 2021

2020 has tested and turned upside down our lives, relationships, and our connections. It’s no wonder that so many of us are feeling out of sorts, raw, stuck, and isolated.

I'm so excited to bring the Threshold Retreat to life with Rachel Estapa of More to Love Yoga. We are honored to come together in community with you to sort through the experiences and emotions of this year so we can all move forward into the new year with ease and softness. Let’s leave behind the hard shell of 2020 and cross the threshold together into 2021 with gratitude in our hearts!

201920190419-DSC_4134.jpg

The new year is a time of transition from old to new, and it brings the opportunity to connect with yourself, clarify intentions, and leave old things in the past.

Start 2020 by setting an intention for the year ahead and let go of patterns that no longer serve you. Let’s make space for what you most want to experience in this next year. This workshop will focus on setting an intention instead of the usual New Year’s resolutions.

We’ll explore our thoughts about 2019, consider what is no longer serving us, practice calming and grounding breathwork, move in gentle ways, and set our intentions for the new year. A gentle and slow workshop for easing into 2020 with self-compassion and peace.
