Centering Yoga With Liz
“Centering is a verb” ~M.C. Richards
Centering is a dedication inspired to me by my mom, Ann Reynolds, who passed away in 2021. She was a woman of deep inner wisdom; choosing to practice this daily through her faith, her compassion towards others, and on her yoga mat. My inner child can still hear the crinkling of her unrolling her mat for her to nestle into Sukhasana at the end of her bed to go inward with her pranayama. The motivation and creation of these offerings have been and will always be a tribute to her and how she taught me the importance of the choice to center; to find access to our own inner peace, wisdom, and ultimate repair.
Yoga classes at Centering Yoga with Liz are trauma informed, centered in somatic supports, and incorporate gentle asanas (poses) and pranayama (breath) to cultivate internal strength and healing. I am a 200 RYT (registered yoga teacher) with Yoga Alliance and in process of receiving further certification in the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method. My expertise as a trauma psychotherapist working with clients in private practice utilizing EMDR, polyvagal therapies, and additional body inclusive modalities will enhance classes for participants and their personal somatic journey on their yoga mat.
Upcoming Classes With Centering Yoga With Liz
​Trauma Informed Yoga Series for birthing people
This gentle yoga series is tailored for individuals who have recently given birth and up to a year postpartum. Participants will experience the support of yoga asana (posture) and pranayama (breath) to assist in feeling increasingly embodied and present. Instruction from a trauma informed lens values every member and the wisdom of their own nervous system to promote a supportive environment to move towards trauma resolution.

Details:
Duration: 4-week series/ ongoing monthly
Start Date: February 3
Time: Monday mornings 9:00-10:00
Venue: Virtual platform, participants will receive google meet link prior to class once registered
​
Highlights:
-
It is reported that 1-7 women indicate their birth was traumatic. This yoga series is created within a trauma informed practice with a goal to assist in regulating one’s nervous system and interrupt the ‘fight, flight or freeze’ response.
-
Gentle and supportive asanas (postures) to provide new pathways in one’s nervous system and support physical and emotional recovery from the fertility process, pregnancy, the birth, and “fourth trimester” triggers.
-
Pranayama (breath work) to realign nervous system to rest and calm, if even for a few moments during class. Parenting is certainly not full of rest and calm and we will explore together ways that we can access this off our mats and between classes.
-
No prior yoga experience necessary
