Welcome to our Healing Yoga Offerings!
Hello!! Welcome to FTC Yoga Classes, I am so happy you are here :)
Our heart for these practices is that yoga was created centuries ago in South Asian to help connect heart, mind and body in union. This is done through through embodiment practices, meditation, and movement that is designed to help shift focus, control breathing, and move and release energy that is often trapped inside our bodies. Yoga is a way of living that is incredibly healing. I have a heart to hold space for hard and complex emotions and experiences so many of these videos hold attention around mental health experiences, the experience of surviving trauma and feeling through the after effects, and honoring seasons of burnout or grief. As an Empath (and Enneagram 2), I have a special place in my heart for the caretakers-whether you are a parent, a pastor, a leader, or a caregiver in anyway, it’s an honor to offer care for your heart, mind, and body. I hope that these practice for you feel like an invitation to connect to yourself, to the wild, and to the world, as well as to your own healing.
Before you take a class, honor your body. Listen to your body’s need to rest, to move, or to slow down. If at any point you feel pain, dizziness, or tension in an asana (pose), stop and move in a way that honors what your body needs! We are all created with unique flexibility and our life journey’s have shaped, aged, and adapted our bodies uniquely. Yoga should never be a comparison, a source of competition, or fuel to push yourself pas your limitations. Always listen to your body first! If you are recovering from an injury or surgery, or are pregnant, in-person or virtual classes that are designed for prenatal or restorative yoga movement may be better suited for you!
If you have a specific lived experience you are need support through, or your body holds a specific tension or injury/disability , fill out this form for a unique 1 on 1 communication as I would be honored to create yoga or meditations to honor specifically where you are at. My hope is that with time, this collection grows in videos that honor diversity in accessibility and lived experiences.
Please contact me if you would like some 1 on 1 support or have any questions :)

Yoga classes are taught by Holly Madden, Flipped Table Collective Co-Founder and Certified Yoga Instructor RYT 200Hr. Her passion for yoga is grounded in yoga’s rich history and roots, and in the healing power that comes from movement, meditation, and earthing. She began practicing yoga regularly first during pregnancy with her daughter, Elliana, and has focused on self-guided practice until finally pursing certification in 2023 through Aura Wellness Center. She believes that yoga is a practice for everyone, including/especially kids. Most of her practice is done in the middle of mothering both of her children, believing in the importance of modeling and including them in healing practices. She strives to incorporate earthing (grounding with the earth), meditations centered on healing from trauma and on liberation, and guided movements and modifications that are sensitive to all lived experiences.
