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.
At Move, we understand that emotional states are experienced in the body. Our classes use breath, sensation, and movement as tools for awareness and regulation—helping you notice what’s present, respond with care, and build a steadier relationship with yourself over time.
Each class offers a different entry point into mind–body practice, designed to support how you’re feeling.
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.

Workshops
Moving Toward Connection: A Process Group for Navigating Intimate Relationships
6-7:30 pm
Moving Toward Connection: A Process Group for Navigating Intimate Relationships is a 4-week experiential group designed to explore the patterns that shape how we show up in connection. While our defenses often develop for good reason and have helped us navigate past hurt, they can also limit access to the closeness and authenticity we deeply want in our relationships.
In this group, we will gently examine the tension between self-protection and connection, and explore what it means to take relational risks in service of more fulfilling and honest intimacy. Vulnerability will be approached as a relational skill—one that can be practiced with discernment, choice, and care.
The group process itself is the intervention, offering real-time opportunities to notice patterns, experiment with new ways of relating, and receive feedback in a supported space. Participants are invited into a shared practice of authenticity, curiosity, and meaningful connection.
Open to all identities and relationship experiences.
Registration includes all 4 weeks.
Birth and Postpartum Preparation-Virtual

Pregnancy is a time of profound change, and preparing for birth also means preparing for the transition into motherhood. Join Macauley Cliffe, LCSW, for this virtual workshop exploring the emotional and physical changes of pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period.
Through psychoeducation, grounding practices, and practical somatic regulation techniques, you'll gain tools to support your nervous system during labor and early postpartum while feeling more informed, empowered, and prepared for the journey ahead. No prior experience is necessary. Open to pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy.
Preparing Your Relationship for Parenthood- Virtual
6:00-7:30 PM
Pregnancy and the transition into parenthood can bring profound changes to a couple’s relationship. This attachment-based workshop is designed for couples who are pregnant or actively trying to conceive and want to intentionally prepare their relationship for this major life transition.
Partners will explore how attachment styles, emotional needs, communication patterns, and stress responses can shape connection during times of change. Through psychoeducation, guided reflection, and practical skill-building, couples will learn tools to strengthen emotional safety, navigate challenges as a team, and build a more secure and connected foundation for growing their family.
This workshop is designed for both partners to attend together. Ideal for couples who want to be proactive about nurturing their relationship before welcoming a child.
Facilitated by Macauley Cliffe, LCSW.
Sound Meditation: Sensations and Emotions
6 PM-7:00 PM
Join Ximena for a deeply restorative 60 minute sound bath meditation exploring the connection between sensations and emotions. Through the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments, you'll be invited to slow down, tune into your body's wisdom, and notice how emotions are experienced and processed through physical sensation.
This immersive practice offers an opportunity to calm the nervous system, cultivate mindful awareness, and create space for deep rest and emotional release. No experience is necessary—simply come as you are, wear comfortable clothing, and allow yourself to receive. Leave feeling grounded, centered, and more connected to yourself.
ERP Group
4 PM-5 PM
This virtual Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) group provides a structured and supportive space for individuals to practice exposure therapy skills in real time. Each session includes a provider-led check-in and check-out, along with dedicated time to complete exposures with support and guidance as needed. The group is designed for individuals experiencing anxiety-related concerns commonly treated with ERP, including OCD, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, eating disorders, and related difficulties. It may also benefit individuals with depression who need support with behavioral activation.
Many people find it challenging to engage in exposures independently outside of individual therapy sessions. This group offers an opportunity to build consistency, accountability, and confidence while reducing anxiety-driven avoidance behaviors in a supportive environment. The goal of the group is to help participants move toward meaningful, values-driven lives.
