“I have never trusted a teacher more than I have, her. She makes me feel seen and capable. She shows up in a powerful, creative, loving, wise way. I see her as a woman who has made it to the other side, who has been initiated by life and because of this, offers wisdom from a deep, powerful, and loving place. She is a gifted guide and loving teacher.””

“From Survive to Thrive: Practices for Everyday Wellness” Series
Often we have the sense that life is happening to us rather than with us, and we are left in a contracted, disempowered state of stress. As a result, we meet life in a habitually reactive way in order to get by and simply survive. Eventually, our perceived lack of control drains our body, being, and spirit of health and vitality.
Through the teachings of the Vayus, the five winds of life, we can learn how to accompany the current of life and regain personal power, knowing that life is happening for us and through us. In this series, through asana, pranayama, and meditation, we will experience each of the five Vayus and blossom into our true being by incorporating these Vayus into our everyday life.
Talks, 12 mins
Working with the Vayus, the five winds of life, in a conscious and integrated way can help us to reclaim a rich sense of enduring vitality and overall wellness. In this introduction to the series, you will gain a fundamental understanding of each of the Vayus and find perspective on the ways in which the Vayus show up in our everyday life.
Therapeutic, Level 1-2, 1 hr, 5 mins
Balance and harmonize your nervous system through the physical vagus nerve and the five energetic prana vayus (energetic directions of life force). Often called the nerve of harmony, balance, equanimity, and compassion, the vagus nerve helps to regulate all of our bodily functions including our stress response.
This comprehensive practice includes gentle movements, pranayama (breath) exercises such as nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breath), and bandhas (energetic locks) to calibrate the nervous system and release habitual patterns stored in the body and mind.
Props: blanket and block
Hatha, Level 1-2, 39 mins

Complete your practice in a seated meditation guided by the poem "If You Knew" by Ellen Bass.
