Everybody comes to this day, this life, this practice with either recent or ancient wounds.⁣⁣ Our stories and lived experiences shape the way we breathe, move, and relate.

This workshop is an invitation to enter the subtle interior, where Yin Yoga, Internal Family Systems, and contemplative practice converge. Participants will work gently and precisely with the nervous system, supporting the body in releasing long-held patterns of bracing, guarding, and dissociation. Through guided parts work, somatic inquiry, and restorative stillness, we learn to meet the inner landscape without forcing it to change.

Drawing from Buddhist psychology, Internal Family Systems, the meridian theory of Chinese Medicine, Yin Yoga and the physiology of connective tissue, the group will explore how emotion, memory, and identity are stored within the body — and how they can be respected, befriended, and integrated.

This workshop is less about “fixing” and more about remembering:
the baseline of ease beneath the pattern, the quiet intelligence of your tissues, the profound wholeness that has never been lost.

Ritual, rest, and reverence anchor the process. Together, listen for the self that lives beneath the survival strategies — the self that knows how to soften, widen, and return home.

This training intensive will potentiate healing both personally and interpersonally.⁣⁣
