take a moment for yourself: a free guide
six weeks of self discovery:
reconnect with
your body, soften your inner dialogue, and trust your intuitive wisdom
what is groundwrk?
groundwrk is a journey of coming home to our body and connecting with the inner guidance and wisdom that we all have within us.
many of us have become dissociated from our body and its inner wisdom. this can bring forward feelings of anxiety, being lost in our lives, uncertain of our direction, and perhaps living in ways that are harmful towards ourselves. this series begins with finding connection to our body - feeling safe and at ease within it, so we can access calm, presence and access to our intuition.
"I came in for the tools and left with a lot more - a better relationship with my body,
more self-awareness, and the reminder that I don't have to carry everything alone."
- c.r.
who is this for?
so many of us move through our days living in our heads while feeling disconnected from our body and from who we are. this can leave us feeling unsettled, anxious, or unsure of ourselves, longing for a deeper sense of grounding and belonging.
this series is a return home to yourself. through gentle movement, breath, meditation, and reflection, we are guided back into our body as a place of safety and wisdom. over time, we learn to soften, to listen, and to reconnect with our natural intuitive intelligence - creating more peace in our body and more authenticity in how we live.
this is for you if you are ready to:
slow down and reconnect with yourself
become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns
cultivate a kinder relationship with yourself
trust your body and your intuition
share and learn in a supportive community
"Beyond yoga. A holistic approach to self through movement, mindfulness, and community."

"A warm, welcoming, and safe space where I felt heard, seen, and less alone."
t.l.
"I'm learning how to listen to my body instead of overriding it. I notice the signals and act on them."

the six weeks
classes are held IRL in my home space in north vancouver. each series runs for six consecutive weeks.
1 intro
we begin the series by. bringing awareness to our current challenges, our hopes for the series and for ourselves.
2 body
our body is our foundation. it is always communicating with us. this week we remember and discover the value in being in a more gentle relationship with it. our body always has something to share with us. here we take time to listen and discover its guidance and messages.
3 mind
for many of us, our thoughts run our lives. old beliefs, stories and ideas about who we are dominate our reality and control our ability to feel calm and grounded in ourselves. we learn to step out of fear-based spirals and cycles and settle into our true power.
4 heart
our hearts have their own system of intelligence. here we we make space for our feelings. we learn to welcome them in our body and trust their guidance. we discover their ways of guiding us and their value in both our every decisions and our personal dreams.
5 soul
here we spend time with our intuition and inner wisdom.
6 close
the embodiment of our physical and essential body lays a foundation for our natural expression and the embodiment of how we show up in the world.
the process
each class in the series will be 90 minutes. each of the classes include the following:
theme + focus
each week we will move through a theme which corresponds to the overall arc of our process and time together.
movement
our body thrives on intentional movement. we will create space in our body and mind through slow yoga which support us in connecting to the essence of who we are.
meditation + breathing
regulating our nervous system plays a big role throughout this process. through meditation and breathing practices we find moments of stillness and peace - allowing us to sit in our intuitive nature.
discussion, writing + homework
through sharing, listening and journaling we connect with our community and allow for discovery of ourselves through our interactions with each other. continuing the work throughout the week is essential in harvesting the most of our time together.
come back home to yourself
you might be feeling disconnected from your body, caught in busyness, or unsure how to slow down and listen inward. you may be longing for steadiness, clarity, and a deeper sense of yourself. or maybe you’re tired of always doing more, and wishing for a way to feel more at ease and in flow with life.
after this series, you can expect to feel more grounded and at home in your body - with simple tools to pause, breathe, and reconnect to your intuition and inner wisdom. you’ll leave with a calmer nervous system, greater self-trust, and a felt sense of returning to yourself. over time, this steadiness supports you to meet daily life with more ease, presence, and self-trust
groundwork is shaped by my personal journey and the ongoing practice of listening inward as well as two decades of teaching movement and self connection. this process supports us in finding trust in ourselves, feeling at home in our body and being who we are in life. this is a course in learning and living from the quiet intelligence of our body.
my intention is to create a consistant, welcoming space where you can explore your own experience, at your own pace, supported by mindful movement, breath, and gentle inquiry. my intention always is to hold space with care, presence, and respect for your unique path.
