Healing and Yoga Offerings

Hello! 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 9), 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!

Holly Madden, Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor

Hello, on top of the many other things I get the privilege of doing, I am a Trauma-Informed Certified Yoga Instructor. My curiosity and love of yoga is grounded in yoga’s rich history and roots, and in the healing power that comes from movement, meditation, and earthing. I began practicing yoga regularly during a high-stress, high-risk pregnancy with my daughter, and I have focused on self-guided practice ever since, until finally pursing certification in 2023 through Aura Wellness Center and a Trauma-Informed Yoga Certificate from Yoga International. I believes that yoga is a practice for everyone. Most of my own practice is done outside without a yoga mat, or in the middle the living room while mothering. I am still learning, I strive 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 and bodies.
