Whether you’re brand new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this series invites you to show up just as you are. The physical practices will be adaptable to meet individual needs, with an emphasis on self-compassion and empowerment.

Weekly Themes:

1. Choice & Freedom

2. Waking Up to Your Own Truth

Inspired by the work of Dr. Arielle Schwartz, PhD, a renowned expert in trauma recovery and polyvagal-informed therapeutic yoga, Peaceful Pathways integrates trauma-sensitive practices that support regulation, resilience, and personal growth.

While the drop-in format offers flexibility, attending the full series will allow for deeper exploration and transformation over time.
