Yoga & Mindfulness Guide
I provide mindful yoga in both one-on-one sessions and small groups, customized to suit the unique needs of individuals, friends, community organizations, and corporate programs. In my practice, I cultivate an anti-oppressive and inclusive environment that encourages you to explore and honor your body’s movements while fostering a deeper connection with yourself.
Yoga Offerings

Therapeutic Yin Yoga
Therapeutic Yin Yoga is a gentle practice that focuses on deep stretching and relaxation. It involves holding poses for an extended period, typically three to five minutes, allowing the body to release tension and improve flexibility. Mindfulness is the used to help deepen awareness and emotional exploration.
May incorporate reflective prompts, journaling or art.

Seated Yoga
Seated yoga is a gentle practice designed for individuals who may prefer or require a seated position. This form of yoga incorporates gentle stretches, breath-work, and mindfulness techniques while seated on a supportive surface. It promotes relaxation, improves flexibility, and supports overall well-being, making it suitable for diverse groups, including those in community settings and corporate programs.
02
Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga focuses on gentle postures supported by props to promote deep relaxation and healing. We will use it to help reduce stress, enhance flexibility, and support overall well-being through calming the nervous system and fostering mindfulness. This practice encourages you to unwind, release tension, and restore balance, making it ideal for those seeking rejuvenation and inner exploration. Its okay to fall asleep :)

Music Healing + Sound Baths
Dr. Nicole Taylor provide therapeutic experiences that harness the healing power of sound vibrations. Sound baths typically involve participants taking a comfortable position while experiencing various sounds from instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and drums. These sessions promote deep relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional release by harmonizing the body's energy centers and inducing a meditative state. This is offered in one-on-one, group, and retreat settings.
Yoga Acknowledgments
In my practice of yoga and sound healing, I deeply respect and honor yoga origins and intentional movement in indigenous cultures, valuing their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. It's important to me to decolonize these practices by embracing their full scope and sharing the importance of this in my shared spaces. I'm committed to ongoing education about yoga's history and its original intentions, and aim to help others integrate its principles into daily life beyond the yoga mat. I gratefully acknowledge and appreciate those who first used these transformative tools, aiming to honor their legacy in my current practice. I share these discussions and practices with the individuals I have yoga sessions with, fostering a deeper connection and understanding together.
