Join us for our Creative RX - Wellness Through Creativity Series at Wendi Kirby Music LLC.
Movement as Medicine: An Introduction to Yoga for Nervous System Resilience
This workshop is a gentle entry point into how yoga can deepen our capacity to feel grounded, nourished, and at ease in our bodies. Together, we’ll explore invitational asana, dynamic movement, restorative posture, and breath practices designed to honor our bodies as altars — our first homes — and create a felt sense of safety from the inside out.
This class is especially for women-identifying bodies who are curious about how yoga can be practiced in a way that honors choice, respects individual needs, and welcomes all levels of experience. You don’t need flexibility or prior yoga background — just a willingness to slow down and listen inward.
What to Expect
This 60-minute session includes a short welcome and reflection followed by a gentle yoga practice (about 15 minutes of conversation, 45 minutes of movement and breath).
What to Bring
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Mats and props will be available, but you’re welcome to bring your own mat, blanket, or journal if that helps you feel more at home.
Come as you are, bring all of yourself, and leave with practices you can carry into daily life — and discover how movement can truly be medicine.

JANUARY SERIES Movement as Medicine: Building the Container
Movement as Medicine: A Six-Week Trauma-Informed Yoga Series
This six-week trauma-informed yoga series offers a soft, steady space to build nervous system resilience through embodied practice. Each week, we’ll move through guided, invitational postures and shapes, breathwork, and reflection designed to create a sense of inner safety, agency, and connection.
Unlike a drop-in class, this series creates a closed container — a consistent circle of practitioners gathered week after week. The magic isn’t in a rigid formula or a forced sense of connection. It lives in what naturally arises when we practice together — where each body, each breath, and each nervous system becomes part of something larger.
The healing is in the collective. Our nervous systems learn from each other, mirror each other, and find their own rhythm of co-regulation and self-regulation. It’s less about what we do and more about what unfolds between us — the quiet, ordinary alchemy that happens when we are witnessed in practice.
This series is especially for women-identifying bodies who want to practice in a space that centers self-attunement, choice, and authentic expression. No prior yoga experience is required.
What to Expect
Six weekly 75-minute classes with guided practice, reflection, and restorative integration.A supportive, steady environment to grow and regulate together.A true community container — not contrived, but emergent and alive.
What to Bring
Bring your mat, water, and wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Blankets and blocks will be available, and you’re welcome to bring any additional props such as an eye pillow, favorite crystal, or anythings that helps you feel more at settled.
