Small Practices
In a world that keeps pulling us toward urgency, small practices—a few mindful breaths, a brief meditation, a gentle stretch between tasks—can quietly reshape the way we move through our days. These simple moments create space where tension softens, clarity returns, and we’re reminded that we don’t need an hour on the mat to reconnect with ourselves. My offerings are designed to support that kind of sustainable, everyday nourishment.
They are offered by donation, with absolutely no expectation; if you’re able and wish to contribute, donations can be sent at the end of each month. Your presence in practice is always enough.

Guided Walking Meditation .:. Listening to the Living World (~20 minutes)
I always find it funny that many of us try a nature-sound meditation while wearing headphones or earbuds. There’s a sweet irony in listening for birds, wind, and leaves while tiny speakers are tucked into our ears. And that’s okay—there’s no “right way” to do this practice. Whether you arrive fully unplugged or with one ear still connected to your device, nature usually finds a way to reach you. This meditation is here to meet you exactly where you are. Please note there are periods of silence for you to practice in.
Legs Up The Wall & Belly Breath (~15 minutes)
Take a gentle pause with this short Yin practice featuring Legs Up the Wall and soft belly breathing. This offering is meant to meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re looking for a moment of grounding, a way to ease tension, or simply a space to reconnect with yourself. You’re invited to settle in and let the guided breath support you. No goals, no expectations—just an accessible practice to help your body and nervous system unwind.
