CLASS CANCELLED MONDAY OCTOBER 6, 2025.

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!)

Autumn Practices: Embrace the Metal Element

As the crisp air of autumn arrives, we turn our focus to the Metal element, a symbol of clarity, refinement, and release. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autumn is the season of Metal, governed by the lungs and large intestine. This season invites us to breathe deeply, let go of what no longer serves, and uncover the strength that comes from simplicity and truth. Our practices this autumn will honor the Metal element, helping us align with nature’s rhythms of release and renewal.

The Metal Element in Autumn

Yin Organ: Lungs
The lungs are the guardians of breath and inspiration. They remind us to take in what is pure and nourishing while also honoring the natural cycle of exhale and release. In autumn, the lungs support us in finding presence, courage, and the ability to grieve and let go with grace.

Yang Organ: Large Intestine
The large intestine governs the process of letting go — both physically and emotionally. It helps us release what is old, stagnant, or unneeded, making space for clarity and new possibilities. This autumn, the energy of the large intestine encourages us to cleanse and simplify, so that we may live in alignment with what truly matters.

What You Can Expect

🍂 Movement & Breathwork
Our autumn practices will emphasize breath-centered movement, lung-strengthening postures, and flowing sequences that cultivate clarity and resilience. We’ll invite slow, deliberate pacing to support grounding while encouraging openness in the chest and lungs.

🌬 Mindful Practices for the Season
To balance the qualities of autumn, we’ll incorporate grounding shapes, gentle twists, and meditative breathwork to support letting go. Restorative postures and guided relaxation will help calm the nervous system, nourishing both body and spirit.

🤍 Clarity & Renewal
As Metal refines and sharpens, our practices will foster clarity of mind and simplicity of heart. Whether in the studio or online, we’ll create a space for release, reflection, and renewal — an opportunity to honor the beauty of endings as fertile ground for new beginnings.
