Sheila Cullen

Sheila is now holding 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!)

Summer Classes: Embrace the Fire Element

As the warmth of summer envelops us, we turn our focus to the Fire element, a symbol of growth, vitality, and connection. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), summer is the season of Fire, and it governs the heart and small intestine, inviting us to expand our energy, spark creativity, and find joy in connection. This season, our classes will honor the Fire element, cultivating balance and alignment with nature’s rhythms.

The Fire Element in Summer:

Yin Organ: Heart
The Heart is the seat of our emotional life, connection, and joy. It governs not only our circulation but also our spirit, guiding us to open our hearts and express love, warmth, and compassion. The summer heat nurtures this expansive energy, inviting a deeper connection to the people and experiences that ignite our inner fire.

Yang Organ: Small Intestine
The Small Intestine helps us differentiate and digest both physical and emotional nourishment. This organ supports clarity, discernment, and decision-making, helping us separate what serves us from what does not. In summer, it’s a time to refine our inner vision, clearing space for fresh, vibrant energy to flow.

What You Can Expect:

Movement & Breathwork
Our summer classes will harness the expansive energy of Fire through dynamic flows, heart-opening postures, and breathwork that elevates both body and spirit. We will use invigorating movement to circulate energy through the body, stoking the inner flame of vitality and joy.

Mindful Practices for the Season
While summer invites fiery energy, it’s important to balance this heat. We will incorporate grounding poses, cooling techniques, and restorative practices to keep the Fire element in harmony, helping to soothe overactive energies and maintain balance within.

Connection & Compassion
As Fire governs compassion, our summer classes will emphasize connection—to our bodies, to each other, and to our greater community. Whether in the studio or online, we will foster a compassionate environment where each individual can explore their personal growth and vitality.
