"Denisha's calm, clear instructions delivered through the TCTSY model creates an environment that wonderfully balances offering support with inviting autonomy, allowing for personal choice making." -CC, Somatic Practitioner

"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.

9-Week Holiday Offering

Holding Space Through the Holidays

The holiday season can magnify what we carry.For some, it is the absence of someone deeply loved. For others, it is the grief of changed relationships, family estrangement, illness, identity shifts, unmet expectations, or simply moving through a season that asks us to celebrate when our bodies and hearts feel otherwise.Whether your grief is fresh or many years old, whether it has a name or feels like an ache you quietly carry, you are welcome here.You are not expected to "move on" or "get over it".You are invited to move with your grief—in community.
Sometimes healing begins not by letting go, but by no longer carrying it alone.Join a small, closed group for nine weekly 90-minute gatherings designed to gently support your capacity to notice and be with what you are carrying while creating space to acknowledge loss, invite self-compassion, and experience how healing may begin to emerge from being witnessed by others.This is not group therapy or a bereavement support group.It is a trauma-sensitive, body-centered experience informed by Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), mindfulness, and gentle somatic practices. Together, we invite space for grief to shift and move—if and when it is ready.No prior yoga experience is necessary.What this space may offer:
- Explore noticing what is present
- Honoring grief without needing to fix it
- Building capacity to stay present with difficult emotions
- Finding moments of rest, connection, and nourishment
- Practicing choice, agency, and self-compassion
- Navigating the season with steadiness and supportSeries DetailsAll identities, bodies, and abilities are welcomeWeather Policy:
My intention is to gather together in-person each week. If hazardous winter weather makes travel unsafe due to snow or icy conditions, we will meet via Zoom rather than cancel. Maintaining connection and continuity is an important part of this circle.Whether your grief is fresh or many years old, whether it has a name or feels like an ache you quietly carry, you are welcome here.Sometimes healing begins not by letting go, but by no longer carrying it alone.What to expect:
- No demonstrations
- No hands-on adjustments
