In birth work, “the veil” is the thin in-between of life and death — fragile, delicate, and tender.

In the Softening Class, veils are used as both technology, companionship and remembrance.

You’ll receive one as a gift — to bring to future classes and most importantly, to take home to live with you.

You’ll receive a satin pillowcase ! This is also gifted as yours to keep with you to bring to future classes and to have at home. Because who doesn’t love a soft landing, with a little satin on top.

You: bring the pillow

Softsomething: brings the satin

You’re welcome to bring an oversized blanket or comforter. We love a twin size duvet insert. We love a little cushion here. *and yes that may be counterproductive because we do side eye a yoga mat.

You’re invited to come solo or bring a slow down companion- a partner, friend, parent, babe, etc. Companionship care (co-regulation) is a part of the practice. We see companionship care as a critical pillar of softness, and slow living. We call them slow down companions here.

Companion reservations (2 spots reserved) are $50. Solo Spots are $35 per reservation. Since we promote relational and companionship care, wellbeing. There is a reduced price for those coming as companions because we love to see it.

**The gifted veil and pillow case will be for you and your companion to share.

Okay, okay.. of course wear what is most comfortable and if yoga pants then so be it but here is why we say this, it’s not woo woo as much as it is hoping to reshape and rebrand not only the culture of wellness and offer your nervous system some reprieve from trying to show up…

We want you to come as you were already going. No changing to go to brunch later, or that birthday party or even just errands.. Wear your slip dress, your kitten heels, jeans, tight or baggy, or grunge. The point is we want you to not dress for the class but dress for your day to limit the fatigue of thinking or preparing.

The Softening Class is not a destination you prepare for — it is something that lives with you. You should be able to leave here and go straight to brunch, to your kid’s game, to wherever your day was already taking you.

We don’t want softening to be a performance.. it belongs in your real life.

Again if you decided on wearing yoga pants, no shame- no side eye cutie!

The Softening Classes are designed and inspired by birth. And birth is spontaneous — more often than not, life comes unexpectedly and on its own time.

In the spirit of nurturing new mind and body connections, we practice learning to soften with what is already around you. The ground beneath you. The wall beside you. The body of your companion near you. And what we cannot see but can feel — the room itself as your support.

By leaving the yoga mat at home, we open ourselves up to building new neuropathways and give our nervous systems the opportunity to not perform in the ways we’ve grown accustomed to in yogic practice, meditation, and movement.

As a certified yoga instructor, I understand how deep, even sacred our relationship with our yoga mats can be. My hope is that here, you’ll begin building a softened bond with what is available to you always.
