Our Classes
Our therapeutic/trauma-sensitive yoga classes focus on breath, mindfulness and movement to bring safe connection to your body and to the present moment.
In our classes we start with mindfulness and breathing then add in gentle postures or movements. The goal of our classes is not to focus on how the pose looks or to achieve peak pose….but our focus is to approach each practice with gentleness and grace for oneself and to bring greater awareness to the present moment experience in body, mind and spirit, helping bring connection, regulation and safety to it.
The practice of yoga promotes calming your nervous system, it also is an opportunity to build tolerance in the tension of calm and challenge (building distress tolerance). Each class is an opportunity to explore sensation in the body with safety and guidance.
In all our classes you are given the choice to use essential oils...In person classes essential oils will be provided for you to use.
Therapeutic practices are for anyone….from beginner to yogi....young to old.
If you have any questions about our classes or private sessions please email newlifeyoga.us@gmail.com

Mindfulness Group:
Mindfulness is paying attention, on purpose, to the present moment and approaching everything one is experiencing with kindness and curiosity.
This 30 min guided mindfulness practice helps one connect to and live fully in the present moment. We practice mindfulness and focused breathing. This practice helps regulate and calm the body’s stress response. It teaches one to hold space for oneself no matter what one is experiencing. The goal of this practice is over time, one can begin to be self led and bring mindfulness into their daily life, approaching stressful or hard situations in a mindful manner. This will help one to regulate the body and emotions to live, act and think more clearly and calmly.
