Live Class Schedule

 

Sheila holds her live classes at Frequency Wellness Space at 34 Elton St. If you haven’t attended in a while, we welcome you back. Bring a friend and enjoy the spacious fully equipped studio, a reception area/ kitchen with complimentary coffee and tea and plenty of camaraderie.

Your weekly classes will incorporate accessible movement practices that draw from the classic Hatha Yoga tradition (Vedic/Indian) as well as Yin Yoga and Qigong based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine model (TCM) and Thomas Hanna based somatic movement. It is Sheila's belief that there are 3 tenets of a fully engaged life that reach out exponentially to create community and connection- These tenets are healthy movement , good nutrition and a willingness to give yourself permission to rest.

We move, we practice stillness and breath. There is often a sprinkling of poetry and story. Your weekly classes will strengthen mobility, enhance your immune system, cultivate balance (body and mind) and increase your resilience and creativity. Connect with a like minded community. Say hello to YOU!

These classes are appropriate for all levels. (Note from Sheila “I love teaching beginners!)

🍂 Autumn — The Season of Metal

Release • Refine • Receive

Autumn invites us into the beautiful practice of letting go.

As the natural world begins to draw inward, trees release their leaves and the light softens. There is a sense of clearing—of keeping what is essential and gently releasing what has completed its season.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is associated with the Metal element and the Lungs and Large Intestine. Together, they teach us about the rhythm of receiving and releasing: taking in what nourishes us through the breath, and letting go of what we no longer need.

Our Autumn practices reflect this natural movement inward.

Through Yin Yoga, Qigong, mindful movement, breathwork, and Yoga Nidra, we create space to slow down, listen more deeply, and notice what we may be ready to loosen our grip on—not through force, but through awareness.

Metal is associated with clarity, discernment, boundaries, and value. It asks us to consider what is truly precious. What deserves to be carried forward? What has served its purpose? And what might become possible when we make a little more room?

Autumn is also associated with the emotion of grief. Rather than something to avoid, grief is understood as part of the natural rhythm of loving and letting go. Our practices offer space to meet change tenderly, honoring what has been while remaining open to what is still becoming.

🍂 Our Autumn practices invite us to:

  • Deepen and soften the breath

  • Support the Lung and Large Intestine meridians

  • Release unnecessary physical and emotional holding

  • Cultivate healthy boundaries and discernment

  • Honor grief, change, and transition

  • Simplify and return to what matters most

  • Create spaciousness for the season ahead

Autumn reminds us that letting go is not the same as losing.

Sometimes letting go is simply an act of trust—a willingness to release what has completed its work so that our energy can return to what is essential.

Like the trees, we practice loosening our hold.

We breathe in.

We breathe out.

And somewhere in that quiet exchange, we discover that there can be freedom in making space.
