Yoga and Bodywork
Yoga that aligns and heals
Where the art of yoga meets the science of therapeutic movement
My Approach
At Soma Yoga & Bodywork, I offer personalized yoga and movement sessions designed to support your unique body and goals. Rooted in alignment-based yoga, therapeutic practices, and functional movement, my approach blends the precision of Iyengar Yoga with the science of Physical Therapy, Pilates-informed core training, and mindful strength work. Each session is tailored to help you move with greater ease, build functional strength, reduce pain, and cultivate sustainable well-being. I will empower you with the tools, knowledge, and practices to care for your body and mind confidently—both on and off the mat.

Yoga. Breathwork. Nature
Gathering
Ground
Retreat
Held by open skies, crisp air, and the gentle pulse of the Driftless landscape, this Autumn retreat is about creating routines that nourish you, cultivating habits that support your wellbeing, and anchoring yourself in practices that help you feel grounded, clear, and connected as you move through the colder months ahead. It is a time to pause, listen deeply, and root into what truly supports you—body, mind, and heart.
Across the weekend, you’ll experience thoughtfully designed yoga classes that build warmth, strength, and resilience in the body. Breathwork practices will support focus, steadiness, and emotional clarity. Time outdoors—hiking, journaling, or simply being held by the land—will offer moments of reflection and room to consider what you want to carry forward.
