The Placitas Practice: Steady Rhythm for Body, Breath, and Soul
An ongoing practice of presence, explored through movement, stillness, and relationship.
Beyond the Mat: Weaving a Living Practice
This is not a goal-oriented yoga class. Movement is used as a way to stay present — in the body, in sensation, and in relationship. Instruction is simple and minimal, allowing space for direct experience rather than explanation. Classes are offered as an ongoing series to support continuity and depth. This work is especially suited for experienced practitioners who value awareness, honesty, and subtlety over performance or intensity.
Open to all levels, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their connection to their practice and cultivate a sustainable path to well-being. Reserve your spot now—spaces are limited!

The Journey of the Class
Each 90-minute session follows a predictable, nurturing flow, ensuring a feeling of stability and allowing you to drop deeper into the practice.
Arrival & Grounding
Transitioning from the outside world. Gentle breathwork and light self-massage to establish presence and connection to the body.
Flow of Yoga & Somatic Movement
Adaptive, non-aggressive sequences blending traditional yoga with intuitive movement, focusing on joint health and functional strength.
Thematic Exploration
A conscious focus on an emotional or physiological theme (e.g., balance, courage, letting go) woven through the movement practice.
Embodied Shadow Practice
Safe, guided exploration of subconscious patterns through movement and awareness. A core component for deep, non-judgmental self-discovery.
Meditation & Integration
A restorative period of stillness and deep rest to allow the body and mind to assimilate the work done in the session.
Closing Circle
A brief, optional moment of community sharing and closing to carry the essence of the practice into the week ahead.
