What’s happening
Restore & Reconnect: Restorative Yoga for Queer Folks in the Gorge
Once a month, please come and join me for an evening practice of meditation, sound, and connecting with cool queer people in the Gorge!
Who
This is a queer space. We love you allies, but please only attend if you identify as queer!
What
I’ll be leading a guided mediation and gentle embodied movement practice, for which zero previous yoga experience is required. We will start with meditation, grounding, and breath to orient ourselves to the space. Then I’ll offer time for guided and intuitive movement with lots of props for support - think bolsters, pillows, blocks, blankets. You’re also welcome to stay in a seat or lying down the whole time; there’s no expectation for how you show up! We will close out with sound, and an optional moment to share and connect.
When/Where
Every first Tuesday of the month from 8-9:30PM at Flow Yoga in Hood River
Why
I acknowledge the ways that yoga spaces and studios in the US can be/feel harmful, unsafe, exclusive, and otherwise inaccessible to queer folks. This class is intended to be a space for all bodies to experience joy in a space specifically for YOU!

Breathwork, Meditation, and Live Music: Pranic Resonance
WHO: Join me and Jori, a beloved, talented local musician, for an immersive and grounding experience through breath, sound, deep rest, and ambient guitar.
WHAT: We will spend time breathing with intention, slowing down the nervous system, and accessing deep rest through a guided Yoga Nidra-inspired meditation. This grounding practice will be set to live, ambient guitar to add color and connect you even more to the present moment.
WHEN: Every last Sunday of the month from 6-7PM.
WHERE: Flow Yoga in Hood River.
WHY: Because you deserve to rest, relax, restore, and enjoy some live music with your community!
This trauma-conscious practice begins with pranayama—the original breathwork—using accessible breathing practices to support nervous system regulation. From there, you’ll be guided into a Yoga Nidra-inspired meditation that invites the body to soften while awareness remains present.
Live, ambient guitar landscapes ebb and flow in dynamic forms to create a fully immersive and connective experience, adding color and uplifting resonance to elevate your practice.
No previous pranayama, meditation, or yoga experience is needed; this practice is intended to be truly all levels. Come exactly as you are!
