Move your body. Still your mind.
Yoga & Workshops
The Move Therapy and Wellness yoga studio offers yoga classes, workshops and therapeutic groups led by Certified Yoga Teachers and Licensed Clinical Psychotherapists.
Through movement, breath work, and meditation, each class offers practical self-care and mental health tools that you can take off your mat and into your daily life. Our space and our classes are designed to support Move's existing therapy clients and the general population through drop in yoga classes and speciality workshops. No yoga experience is necessary, and classes prioritize inner work and self-compassion over difficult poses and advanced sequences.
If you're not in Chicago, we have a virtual membership where you can access on demand classes, we host a number of pop up yoga and wellness events in Portland and you can also attend wellness focused classes at Root To Rise, in Scarborough, where our Maine office is located.

Guided breath-work will immediately follow the yoga sequence.

Workshops
Embodied Sexuality Workshop
10 AM-1 PM
Limited to 6 participants - all bodies, identities, orientations, gender expressions, and relationship configurations are welcome.
This workshop is an invitation to explore sexuality through the body, presence, and awareness. It is an intimate and carefully held space to share and practice the foundations of what I have learned so far through my training in Embodied Sexuality with SOMA Intimacy Institute (Barcelona).
This gathering also serves as a conscious trial run for future workshops, offering a feel for the approach and the work.
Embodied Sexuality is a contemporary, body-based approach to sexuality that moves beyond fantasy and performance, supporting a more free, creative and responsible way of relating to pleasure, intimacy, and connection with ourselves, with others, and with life.
Intended content
Principles and pillars of Embodied Sexuality
Self-love = self-regulation
Consent
The four kinds of touch: taking, allowing, serving, accepting
The pace of the group will guide the session, so not everything listed is guaranteed to be covered.
There will be individual, partnered and group exercises, including touch through hands and forearms, as well as the option of energetic (non-contact) touch if preferred.
Everything is always invitational and consent-based. All practices are invitations, never obligations.
This is a space to explore with curiosity, presence, and respect, honoring both individual and collective rhythms. Interested participants will receive a short questionnaire before the workshop so I can get to know the group and support the space from the start.
If this feels aligned, you’re warmly welcome.
