Yoga Classes for Women
Inspirational Yoga for Mental Health & Healing
In today’s world, more people than ever are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, sleep issues, addiction, eating disorders, and more. The good news is that powerful tools exist to help us meet these struggles with compassion, strength, and hope.
For thousands of years, yoga has been a pathway to mental and emotional well-being—and modern science now confirms what ancient wisdom has long known. Yoga supports relief from stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma, PTSD, addiction, and even disordered eating, offering a holistic approach to healing body, mind, and spirit.
This class shares somatic practices that supported Dawn’s own healing journey through childhood trauma, an eating disorder, and two breast cancer journeys. These tools helped her navigate life’s stressors with greater ease and reconnect with her innate wholeness—mind, heart, body, and spirit. Lisa will also be sharing practices that have supported her healing as well.
Join us for a supportive and empowering class designed to nurture your mental health and promote deep healing. All levels are welcome.

Testimonials
The Retreat Ladies are wonderful. I feel very fortunate to have been able to participate in a few of their full day mini retreats. These retreats are food for the soul. Sara and Dawn are down to earth, warm and welcoming. If you have the opportunity to take some time out for yourself to nurture your mind, body and soul please do. I always leave a better person for having attended and I am grateful for the work they do! ~Claudette
I have attended several of the mini retreats with Dawn and Sara. It is a vacation every time and is so needed! They are welcoming and authentic, I feel so cared for by these ladies. I have learned a lot about myself during the retreats. Thank you! ~Marti
Dawn and Sara’s mini retreat workshop was amazing. The flow of all we did was perfectly planned out – plenty enough time for all components and nothing ever felt rushed. It was great to connect with other like-minded women in a small group but large enough to interact with a diverse group. Dawn and Sara’s knowledge in their area is fantastic. The retreat also provided each of us with resources to continue the learning and growing. Thank you! ~Donna
I enjoyed the one-day “Intention-Setting Mini Retreat” with Dawn and Sara. As a newcomer, I felt at ease-positive attitudes and vibes from this group of ladies. The day was creating a “Vision” instead of a Resolution. The tools provided started with restorative yoga, questions/journaling, meditation, mindful eating, vision board and Qi Gong. We shared feelings and thoughts allowing us to set a purpose and make our vision come to fruition. It was a well-planned session, with just enough time to complete what we started. Thank you. ~Anna
