In these classes, we will learn new body language, find ease with breathing, and practice "acro yoga" partnering.
Classes will be held outdoors unless it's really crazy weather. Yoga is about breathing and moving in the present moment, and we can practice that wet or dry.
Co-founders of Nonprofit Wellness, Susan and Ty lead trainings for staff at nonprofit organizations and K-12 schools. Their 5 decades of combined experience and skillful training abilities make them thoughtful trainers who lead with efficiency and humor to build camaraderie.
Ty & Susan's trauma-informed, bilingual curriculum includes interactive trainings, 12 original discussion tools, and scores of educational posters.

Susan loves arm extensions as a quick, physical break. Here, she teaches an easy, medium and difficult variation to bring more blood to your brain and body for days when you are sitting too much (which is to say, most days).
“Caring for myself is
not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation,
and that is an act of political warfare.”
