The Power of Choice: A Yoga Series for Stress & Overwhelm

An 8-week, trauma-sensitive yoga series offering a choice-based exploration of movement in a small group setting. This practice invites you to notice what arises in your body and to explore movement in ways that feel accessible to you.This is not a traditional yoga class, so prior yoga experience is not required. Instead, the focus is on restoring your relationship to choice and navigating stress & overwhelm through movement.What this space may offer:
- An opportunity to notice your bodily sensations and signals, and to explore movement choices related to what you feel.
- A space to notice how stress may show up in your body and to observe how it may shift through movement and rest.
- An invitation to make decisions about how and whether to move, and to notice the impact of those choices over time.
- An exploration in navigating overwhelm and finding what works for your bodyWhat to expect:
- No demonstrations
- No hands-on adjustments
- No expectations to performAbout the Closed Group:
This series is offered as a closed group, meaning the same participants meet together each week. There are no drop-ins. This supports a sense of familiarity and consistency over time, which can make it easier to notice your own experience and to engage at your own pace.You are invited to attend each session as you are able. Your presence contributes to the shared space, just as the group supports your individual experience.

"Denisha's teaching is accessible to anyone, and especially supportive for those who might feel uncomfortable in typical yoga classes. Her thoughtful language, gentle pacing, and emphasis on choice create a sense of safety that allows the healing potential of movement to emerge. As a trauma-informed practitioner, this is exactly the kind of class I've been wanting to refer my clients to." -KG, Somatic Practitioner

"Denisha led a wonderful, gentle yoga class that I could follow with ease, even though I am a beginner yoga practitioner. Her warm style invited us to experiment with movement in a way that felt safe and could be easily modified as needed." -LJ, Psychologist
