not having the time to TRY another thing…
Making sense of abstract directions and contorting your body into awkward shapes
– worried you’re gonna be sore, fatigued, or worse come tomorrow-
Is NOT the wellness journey you’re tryin’ to be on.

swaying on the side of not worth it-
to find the right movements and techniques to, safely, suit your needs

✅ a nagging injury or limitation
✅ chronic pain, chronic illness, or chronic stress
✅ physical, mental, or developmental disabilities
✅ or a brand sparklin’ new yoga beginner
