Welcome! Each class at Align facilitates experiential worship in body, mind and spirit, aligning ourselves to Truth, Presence and the Love of Jesus. Classes include guidance in breathwork, mindfulness practices, yoga & meditation on Scripture, with an emphasis on safe, functional movement and strengthening exercises.

1:1 classes also available for individual needs or interests! Learn how to breakdown a certain posture, develop skills such as arm balances or handstands, or come to receive a personalized flow, prayer and gentle massage, according your own needs and desires! Trauma-Sensitive sessions also available. We are also committed to the practice of authentic community- cultivating a sense of belonging, with a desire to grow in faith & freedom. We show up as we are, ready to see where God meets us as we simply show up to our mats with open hands & willing hearts. All are welcome! "Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy." Mark 12:30- The Message

Hello friend- it’s been a bit! After a delightful summer Sabbatical, September has felt like a hard turn- and I’m still getting oriented! (Just me?!) God has been so kind & generous through it all- and I’m so glad to be back here preparing for a new season.

For our local community- we have a special Fall series coming up! 🍂

The Embodied Way is a 6-week, small-group journey of Christ-centered therapeutic movement and spiritual practice.

Rooted in Eugene Peterson’s A Long Obedience in the Same Direction and the Psalms of Ascent, each gathering includes:

🌿 a trauma-informed pre-class consultation (optional, for those interested in some personalized customization that this small group setting can offer)

🌿 60 min class: we will move between gentle flows, yin, or restorative yoga based upon your specific needs in this season with a focus on breath work, nervous system regulation, breath prayer and other embodiment practices

🌿 30 min for wood burning sauna, tea, and connection following; or bring your journal and find a quiet corner with space held to enjoy some time to process.

🌿 practices for home between sessions

Think body & soul care, creativity & community for those needing a season of weekly rest & replenishment.

Dates:

Thursdays, Oct 1–Nov 12 · 6:00–7:30pm

Or

Fridays, Oct 2–Nov 13 · 9:00–10:30am

Limited to 6 per session. Link in bio to register at alignbodysoulspirit.com 🤍

“May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

“A Christian community is therefore a healing community not because wounds are cured and pains are alleviated, but because wounds and pains become openings or occasions for new vision. Mutual confession then becomes a mutual deepening of hope, and sharing weakness becomes a reminder to one and all of the coming strength.” — Henri Nouwen: The Wounded Healer

12 years ago this month I found myself completely undone on a yoga mat, resting in the presence of God at the end of a Christ-centered practice for the very first time. Within months I became a teacher of the same; and the beginnings of this community were birthed.

The forms of our gatherings have shapeshifted through the seasons; but the simplicity of purpose to love God with all our heart, soul, mind & strength- and to love our neighbours as ourselves- remains the same.

These small threads of our times together, so consistently woven over time remind me of a beautiful fabric of faith, hope & love in Jesus. It is in the coming together that strength is garnered. It’s become so tender, comforting & lovely to behold.

These gatherings are a gift- and all are welcome!

Honoured to partner with and offer this upcoming:

🌿 Soul Circle: a weekly, intimate Small Group Spiritual Direction experience for those longing to grow in self-compassion and a deeper experience of God’s grace.

Together, we’ll explore and cultivate steady rhythms to navigate life’s complexities, knowing we are held with gentleness, and can courageously grow in resilience.

We will learn to see ourselves as our Creator sees us: one with infinite value who was created to be loved- then live from that beautiful truth.

“Trying softer is the path that leads to true connection and joy.”- Aundi Kolber
