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.

(part of a 4 session series “Meet Yourself”)

Meet Your Inner Child Workshop, the first of the 4 session series, will focus on what inner child work is, how your ego protects us, and understanding how these protective mechanisms, while important, can often prevent us from feeling connected to others and ourselves. "Meet Yourself" is a 4-week workshop group designed and led by Move Psychotherapist, Anna Coco. This series is created for individuals wanting to "meet" and connect with their most authentic parts of themselves.
