EMBODIED MOVEMENT FOR EVERY BODY

Breathe | Stretch | Strengthen | Mobilize | Relax

Hello,

I’M WENDY!

Movement, Meditation & Breath Teacher

I came to yoga over two decades ago after a chronic pain-related illness stopped me in my tracks. A passionate runner, squash player, and gym lover, I had to redefine movement. My mess became my message, and I haven’t looked back. Leaving the corporate world for bare feet and a new path made me stronger—and eventually pain-free. Now, I enjoy hiking, knitting, quilting, and more, always staying curious and advocating for my own well-being. I teach from my heart and lived experience.

I’m grateful to share my journey and knowledge with you. My training includes Hatha, Yin, Therapeutic, and Restorative yoga, Pilates, Tune Up Fitness®, Pain Management (Stanford University), iRest for PTSD, Meditation, and Somatic movement.

My Embodied Movement classes emphasize breath, meditation, and mindful movement. I tailor each session—whether private, semi-private, or small group classes—to your needs.

I also run 6 week programs which are a deep dive into maintaining your body and improving its function.

I look forward to meeting you! Please reach out with questions or to register. I teach in my home studio, online, and onsite.

OUR CLASSES

Embodied Movement

A gentle, explorative class designed to reconnect you with your body through mindful, intuitive movement... READ MORE

Blending elements of somatics, yoga, breathwork, and functional mobility, this practice invites you to slow down, feel deeply, and move in a way that honours your unique body.

Through guided awareness, you’ll explore sensation, rhythm, and flow—cultivating presence, releasing tension, and supporting nervous system regulation. This is a space for curiosity, compassion, and inner listening—where the goal isn’t performance, but connection.

These classes run in 4 week sessions ($120). Registration with payment means your space is saved just for you.  Make Up classes or Drop Ins  are not guaranteed. 

 

All bodies and all levels are welcome. No experience necessary—just a willingness to feel and explore.

Wendy is incredible.

I learned so much about my own body in her class and she was able to address my long standing issues with my Achilles. She was patient and helped me to address preparing my body and its recovery for my very active lifestyle. She takes the time to explain the “why” your body responds the way it does and what we need to do to heal ourselves. Wendy is your yoga and mobility guru.

I look forward to Wendy’s weekly online Zoom class and highly recommend it. I love practicing from the convenience of my own home. Wendy is positive, fun, warm, and encouraging. I always feel great afterward, both mentally and physically. She is instructive and ensures all skill levels can participate, offering many different accommodations for stretches and poses. Wendy also makes time for quiet meditation, which I find especially helpful at the end of a busy day. Thank you, Wendy!

-Beth H.

I have been going to Wendy’s for over 14 years. Her classes are a unique combination of yoga and other small movements that help heal the body’s aches and pains. She has taught me so much about the mechanics of my body and her classes are a great addition to all my other therapies . Not only is she kind and caring, she is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend going to her.
