Mishiah Yoga

This is a simplification of a very complicated and lengthy process, especially for trauma survivors.

I’m not a doctor. I’m not a therapist. But I am someone who knows how to sit with people in grief, in fear, in discomfort, and work at the edge of available safety.

Because I don’t think safety means convincing yourself that nothing bad will happen. I don’t think it means regulating yourself into perpetual calm. And I definitely don’t think it means overriding the parts of you that are scared.

Sometimes safety is simply having enough support to stay present with what is happening without abandoning yourself.

It’s learning the difference between discomfort and danger. Learning where your edges actually are. Learning that you can say no, change your mind, ask for support, take up space, soften, get stronger, leave, stay.

It is collecting little pieces of evidence that say: I am here. I have choices. I can feel what I feel and remain in relationship with myself.

And that relationship takes practice.

Even in this world. Even after everything that’s happened. Even when your nervous system has very good reasons to be protective, you can find solid ground.

Maybe not permanently. Maybe not perfectly.

But enough ground to stand on.

And then enough to move from.

September always feels like a transition point to me.

Summer starts loosening its grip, routines return, and Virgo season brings our attention back to the small things that shape the way we actually live. Our habits. Our patterns. Our practice. The places where a little more attention, organization and discernment can change a lot.

So for September, I’m opening a limited number of private sessions at $100/hour, normally $130.

For yoga students, this is a chance to get really specific about your practice. Maybe you’re brand new and want to build a solid foundation before habits start forming. Maybe you’ve practiced for years and there are patterns, postures or concepts you’ve never quite understood. We can slow things down, look closely, refine alignment, work with your nervous system and build a practice that makes more sense in your body.

For yoga teachers, I’m also offering private hands-on assist instruction and Zoom coaching. We can work with assists, energetic anatomy, nervous system awareness, teaching habits, confidence, cueing or whatever part of your teaching currently needs a more discerning eye.

That feels very Virgo to me. Not reinventing yourself. Paying close enough attention to notice what could work better, then making small, intelligent adjustments until your habits actually support the person you’re becoming.

A season of refinement rather than perfection.
