Returning Home

We recognize that we are vulnerable and for as long as we are embodied on planet earth, we will experience loss and pain. 

We acknowledge that we may never achieve safety and for some of us carrying complex trauma, we may have never experienced safety. 

We know safety is a felt-sense. We reference geometry, movement, the breath and the imagination to cultivate a safe-enough environment in our bodies so  we can show up authentically to the world. 

Rather than living our past, we reference our past to set up goals for our future. Your past is encoded in every cell of your body guiding your behaviors, emotions and thought processes. 

Where do you want to go? Who do you want to spend this beautiful, short embodied life with? How do you want to relate with those around you?  

We come together to set up goals. Not the ones established by violent systems of oppression but by fine-tuning the instrument of our intution, granting the ability to listen to our inner longings.

Feeling trapped, holding back, staying quiet, are just some of the ways we protect our authentic selves. Often the parts of us we dislike the most are the ones that worked the hardest to navigate relationships and environments in which you--all of you--were not welcomed. 

We share and use good recipes to cultivate inner-harmony and help parts of us tell their story of pain and tend to our pain with loving kindness. 

As we gain more access to the inner landscape of our bodies, our vision becomes clearer and more defined. When parts within us are heard, tended to, and given the opportunity to tell their stories, we tap into our true longings and we can envision a future that honors our true essence. 

We go inwards to radiate outwards. 

Life is disorienting in nature. With a centering practice, we have the capacity to return to our essence and radiate from a place of love and abundance. 

Growth means change and change involves risk. There are risks in setting new boundaries, redefining who we are, and showing to the world authentically. 
Our practice is centered around establishing the foundation so that you can take the necessary risk to potentiate your self. 

We commit to show up authentically to ourselves and our community by making sacred contracts that honor where we come from and where we are going.

We cultivate power through willful actions. We become powerful when we get to make choices and are not trapped in unconscious patterns of destruction towards ourselves and the planet. 

We gain self-agency when we gain self-awarness and cultivate the techniques for transformation and reformation. 

"When faced with a challenging task or circumstance, the difference between joy and terror is technique. Skilled surfers celebrate a giant wave; novices are stricken with fear."- Nevine Michaan, founder of Katonah yoga®. 

We use maps, recipes and techniques to guide our journey so that we don't paralized in fear or collapse of exhaustion.

Our practice references the seasons of Great Nature, the archetypes of sacred geometry and the imagination to cultivate joy. 

Achievement, is joyful.

Our movement practice is not performative. It is informative. The shapes and movements you will be practicing are designed to cultivate harmony within you. Our practice is designed to bring your focus to what you can do. 

Can I join my partner/mother/brother?Yes! We encourage this! In fact, teammates pay 50% o

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. 

We conclude our journey by participant-led movement practice. Here we step into our power and vulnerability to guide others through this practice. We access self-leadership when we can trust the community and relationships we have chosen to walk alongside in this journey.
