Exploring ADIPOSE (yes, fat!) in movement
In person AND virtual
Saturday, January 3 2026
3:00-5:00pm Pacific
The stuff barely mentioned in anatomy - and it's everywhere in the body! In this body- positive movement class, we'll understand the unsung functions of fat and move with imagery to connect with it as well as with the superficial fascial layer. We often think of muscles and deep fascia as being the functional aspects of movement, but we'll see there is a LOT happening with our adipose and it deserves to be experienced just like any other aspect of the body.

A Scoliosis Exploration
Start anytime! This 4-week, self-paced course is for people with scoliosis or for movement professionals who work with those with scoliosis. Scoliosis can feel like a scary diagnosis, but it doesn’t have to be.

“She is a treasure as a person
& a teacher.”
“As a physician, I have seen a great deal of benefit in her methods, which truly emphasize working with what one has, with no sense of a " one size fits all" approach. She tailors the yoga to my body and has enabled me to do my best.”

Where the head meets the spine
Saturday, October 25th - 9:00am-12:00pm PST
A crucial area to understand and embody to release tension, to reduce headaches and to improve posture in daily life. In this class we'll learn to sense the location and function of the joints where the head meets the spine as well as the interaction between the first and second vertebrae. With imagery, touch and very gentle movement, this can help your own posture as well as a doorway to provide imagery to your clients as well.
