🍃”Nervous System Reset”
6 Week Summer Series 🍃

Your nervous system was never meant to live in constant survival mode.
Always rushing. Always bracing. Always carrying.

This 6-week journey is an invitation to soften...to reconnect to your breath, your body, your emotions, and the part of you that simply wants to feel safe again. 🌿

Through restorative yoga, somatic movement, breathwork, meditation, nervous system education, journaling, and healing rituals — we will gently begin returning home to ourselves.

This is not about perfection.
This is not about pushing harder.

This is about slowing down enough to hear yourself again. 💚

What you’ll experience:
* Deep nervous system regulation
* Stress & tension release
* Breath as medicine
* Rest without guilt
* Emotional grounding & self-trust
* Gentle healing practices you can carry into everyday life

This intimate 6-week container is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, disconnected, exhausted, or simply longing for deeper peace within. 🍃

Come exactly as you are.
No forcing. Only allowing.

Come Home. This is Medicine. 🌿

Spaces will be intentionally
limited to keep this experience supportive, nurturing, and deeply personal.

We begin the journey in a few weeks…running Tuesday evenings The Loft from 7-8:15pm
starting June 9th.

A beautifully curated workbook will be gifted to you at your first class 🌱
Bring your mat, a pen/pencil, journal, water and your open heart 💚
Dress cozy and comfy as you settle in for an evening of peaceful practice & presence.

💙 April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month.

At Ironworks, this is something that means a great deal to us. Through programs like Rock Steady Boxing, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful movement can be — helping improve strength, balance, coordination, and confidence for those living with Parkinson’s.

It’s not just about exercise. It’s about giving people the tools to move better, feel more capable, and stay engaged in the things they enjoy.

We’re proud to support this community and to be part of the journey alongside so many strong and determined individuals.

Devotion.
Strength.
Surrender.

I fold into the Earth
not to disappear,
but to feel held.

To come back home.

To soften.
To open.
To release.

And to remember
who I am…

Rooted in grace.

Supported by my own strength.

Devoted to awakening.

Meeting each day exactly as I am.

And to trust -I am always becoming.

And here in this quiet breath of surrendering…

I bow.

I dont have to carry it all. 💕

*The January Blues & Grief*

January can feel heavy.

The lights come down, the celebrations fade, routines return, and the quiet settles in.

The energy of winter asks us to slow, yet the world often expects us to move forward quickly.

This contrast alone can stir fatigue, sadness, and emotional overwhelm.

For those carrying grief, January can feel especially tender. The holidays may have held distraction or connection, and now the absence feels louder.

Grief can resurface in waves—showing up as low energy, anxiety, numbness, heaviness in the body, or a deep sense of longing.

Nothing is wrong with you if this time feels hard.

This is grief moving through a quieter season. 🙏

Winter invites us inward. It asks us to soften, to listen, and to tend to what has been held beneath the surface.

*How Grief Movement & Yoga Can Support You*

Grief is not only emotional—it lives in the body. When we gently move, breathe, and create space to feel, we allow grief to soften its grip rather than remain stored within us.

In my Grief Movement & Yoga classes, we move slowly and intentionally, honoring where you are—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Through mindful movement, breathwork, stillness, and reflection, we create a safe space to release what feels heavy and reconnect with a sense of steadiness and support.

You do not need to be “healed,” flexible, or have the right words. You only need to arrive as you are.

This practice is about:
*Feeling supported rather than alone
*Allowing emotions to move instead of being held inside
*Finding moments of grounding, calm, and self-compassion
*Honoring your grief without judgment

If January feels heavy, you are not meant to carry it alone.

I invite you to join me—to move gently, breathe deeply, and be held in a space where grief is welcomed and met with care.

✨ You are welcome exactly as you are.

*Who is this practice meant for?
Anyone experiencing grief, loss of any kind, seasonal depression, anxiety or sense of overwhelm and/or sadness.

*No experience in yoga, meditation or breathwork? No worries 🥰 This evening’s workshop is accessible and welcoming to ALL.
You will gently & lovingly feel supported, accepted and cared for in a deeply nourishing safe environment. The entire workshop is designed to meet all participants where they are, no need to talk or share, you may simply just BE and let this workshop allow you to feel like you are enveloped in one big giant HUG. 🤗

🫶 You are not alone, you’ve got us here to walk the path WITH you.

*Join me at the beautiful sanctuary of the Loft on Thursday Jan 22nd from 6-7:15pm.

Namaste and all the love,

💫Class Descriptions & Weekly Offerings at The Loft within Ironworks Health and Wellness

Mindful Mobility
This nourishing class weaves together yoga postures, mobility exercises, gentle strength and flexibility work, and intuitive, inspired movement. Each class is thoughtfully and lovingly curated, offering something new each time while meeting you exactly where you are.
Designed to support joint and bone health, Mindful Mobility helps improve range of motion, balance, posture, and overall ease in the body—while gently reducing pain, stiffness, and tension. More than just movement, this is a practice of listening, honoring, and reconnecting with your body.
This class invites you to move with awareness, confidence, and compassion, empowering you to embrace your body and your fitness journey at any age, with any limitations, and at any level of experience. A truly grounding, strengthening, and freeing practice you won’t want to miss. ✨🪷
Mondays & Thursdays
9:30-10:30am

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow, deeply nourishing practice that invites you to soften, surrender, and turn inward. This class is primarily floor-based, with most postures practiced seated or lying down, allowing the body to fully relax and receive.
Through longer-held, gentle postures, Yin Yoga works deeply into the connective tissues and fascial network, supporting joint and bone health, improving mobility, and helping to hydrate and restore the body from the inside out. This practice also encourages the healthy flow of Chi (life force energy), while calming the nervous system and reducing stress and inflammation.
More than a physical practice, Yin Yoga is an invitation into stillness and mindful awareness — a meditative journey that creates space for release, reflection, and deep restoration. Perfect for those seeking balance, grounding, and a quiet yet powerful practice for body, mind, and spirit. 🌙✨
Tuesdays
10:45-11:45am

Somatic Flow
Somatic Flow is a mindful, breath-led practice that invites you to move from the inside out—listening deeply to the wisdom of your body as movement and breath continuously sync together. Each class begins with a grounding warm-up, gradually unfolding into Sun or Moon Salutations, and then into a creatively woven flow of asanas designed to cultivate awareness, presence, and self-reflection.
This practice gently builds heat from within while guiding you through a balanced sequence of seated and standing postures, forward folds, backbends, twists, core strengthening, balancing poses, arm balances, and gentle inversions. We close with cooling stretches and an extended final relaxation, allowing the body and nervous system to fully integrate the practice.
Somatic Flow can feel “challenging” in the sense that it involves moving up and down from the floor and flowing through transitions. If you are newer to yoga, you are warmly invited to move slowly, honor your pace, and trust that with consistency, the rhythm and intelligence of the flow will naturally unfold. This is truly an all-levels class, with options, modifications, and supportive guidance offered throughout—encouraging you to meet yourself with curiosity, compassion, and ease. 🌿✨
Thursdays
10:45-11:45am

Yoga Pulse w/ Weights
Yoga Pulse is a fun, upbeat, and empowering practice designed to ignite your inner fire and build strength from the inside out. Using light 2-pound weights, we blend fluid yoga-inspired movement, intentional breathwork, and a motivating playlist to create a class that feels both energizing and deeply embodied.
This practice builds heat from within while strengthening the core, improving stability and balance, and awakening muscles you didn’t know you had—all without losing the mindful connection to breath and body. Expect rhythmic pulses, creative sequences, and moments that challenge you to feel strong, capable, and alive.
Perfect for those seeking a little energetic pick-me-up and a confidence boost, Yoga Pulse is where movement meets empowerment, fire, and flow. You’ll leave feeling grounded, powerful, and lit up from the inside out. 🔥💪✨
Mondays
10:45-11:45am

Somatic Yoga
Somatic Yoga is an invitation to slow down, soften, and return home to your body. In this practice, we let go of how postures “should” look and release rigid ideas of alignment, choosing instead to move from inner awareness and sensation. You are guided to listen inward, follow your body’s natural impulses, and move in ways that feel nourishing and intuitive.
Somatic yoga focuses on the felt experience of movement rather than external form. Through slow, mindful motion and breath, the practice supports the nervous system and gently releases stored tension, stress, and emotional holding within the body. This allows the mental, emotional, and energetic layers of being to soften, unwind, and restore balance.
This is a gentle, deeply nurturing practice that reconnects us with softness, curiosity, and a sense of innocence within the body. Over time, Somatic Yoga helps cultivate a more compassionate, trusting relationship with yourself—one rooted in listening rather than striving.
Please note: Somatic Yoga is different from Somatic Flow. This class is slower, more subtle, and more restorative in nature, offering a gentler experience than the flow-based practice. 🌱💫
Tuesdays 9:30-10:30am
Wednesdays 10:45-11:45am

Stretch & Flexibility Yoga
Stretch & Flexibility Yoga is a gentle invitation to slow down, release tension, and create space in both body and mind. Through mindful stretching and soothing, intentional movements, this practice focuses on improving flexibility and mobility while allowing the nervous system to settle into a deep state of calm.
Each posture is offered with compassion and care, encouraging you to move at your own pace, honor your body’s unique needs, and soften fully into the present moment. There is no rushing, no striving—only spaciousness, breath, and ease.
You’ll leave class feeling lighter, more open, and deeply nourished, as though you’ve gifted yourself true rest and renewal. This practice is perfect for anyone seeking to unwind, support joint health, enhance flexibility, and find balance in the midst of a busy, full life. 🌿✨
Friday’s
10:30-11:15am

Relaxing Blend
Our Blend is a deeply soothing and restorative practice designed to help you unwind, soften, and return to a place of grounded calm. This class weaves together gentle yoga styles such as Yin and Restorative Yoga, paired with breathwork that quiets the mind and settles the nervous system.
Through nourishing stretches, supported postures, and intentional breathing, you’ll be guided into a state of deep relaxation—melting away tension, stress, and mental chatter while creating space for ease and renewal in the body, mind, and spirit.
We conclude with an extended savasana or Yoga Nidra, enhanced by a gentle temple massage with essential oils and a guided meditation that carries you into profound rest and inner stillness. A tranquil, soul-soothing experience and a beautiful way to begin your week. 🕊️✨
