Upcoming Classes and Workshops
Engaging in somatic practices with others offers us a chance for maximum impact. When we do this work in shared space- either virtually or in person- our mirror neurons notice and take in those around us, giving a boost to our own internal processes. When we experience our grief, joy, worry, or freedom together we benefit from both our own journey and the journey of others through co-regulation, which is an essential part of our experience as humans.
In person workshops are offered regularly and will be updated here monthly. Spots are always limited, so book early!
Classes Available Live Online & In-Person at Hoosier Yoga Spot
Hoosier Yoga Spot is located at 259 Indiana Ave, Valparaiso, IN- inside the Be Good Juicerie. Together, we nourish you, body, mind, and soul.
Downshift
Nervous system regulation for teens & adults
Wednesdays, 6:30–7:30pm
In person in Valparaiso or live online
Your mood and your energy can feel like they have a mind of their own. In a way, they do — that's your autonomic nervous system, running underneath every day of your life without asking permission. Downshift is an hour to learn how that system actually works, and to practice steadying it, so that stress and anxiety become things you can meet instead of things that happen to you. No experience needed. Come learn the controls to a system that's been driving you the whole time.

Soma Space
The art of knowing yourself
Saturdays, 10:30–11:30am
In person in Valparaiso or live online
Soma Space doesn't look the same twice. Some days are for restoration — movement, breath, and stillness, and we spend the hour setting the week down. Some are for going deeper, and reflection does the work. Some are for creativity and joy, and we end up laughing. What holds steady is that we do it together, and that it's built for big feelings in the good way. You might leave settled, or cracked open, or delighted. Mostly you'll leave more like yourself, and more connected to whoever was in the room with you. Come as you are. There's nothing here to be good at.
Sign up for the in-person and the 9am YinYasa flow beforehand is free!!
Self-care Saturday for the win!

You and Me
Come as you are, baby and all
First Wednesday of the month 8:30–10am
In person in Valparaiso or live online
The research on how babies grow is genuinely astonishing, and almost none of it reaches the people doing the actual work at 3am. You and Me fixes that. We take the most essential findings in early child development and turn them into things you can play, feel, and use with your little one right there in the room. Expect to spend your time making new connections with your baby and other care givers, a fair amount of oh, that's why they do that, and no pressure whatsoever. You'll leave closer to your baby and more confident as their person.

Classes for Kids & Teens at Empowering Student Success
Empowering Student Success is located at 114 N Calumet in Chesterton, IN
We can't learn if we don't feel safe — when the amygdala reads something as danger, it blocks new information from reaching the thinking brain. This 6-week class teaches kids 7+ how that works: the brain, neurotransmitters, the levels of the autonomic nervous system, plus real practice in mindfulness, regulation, reading body cues, reframing unhelpful thoughts, solving interpersonal problems, and co-regulating together, all through games, movement, and play. Kids leave understanding what actually gets in the way of focusing and following through. Bring an adult along free; parents tell us they get as much out of it as their kids do.
Six weekly one-hour sessions. $120 per child. First cohort starts Tuesday Sept 15th @ 4:30
REGISTRATION COMING SOON
Launch is a six-week group for older teens — sophomore year and up — built around the skills adulthood assumes you already have but never teaches: managing your own time and attention, making decisions, advocating for yourself, and staying regulated under stress. Through real projects and honest reflection, teens practice running their own lives and build the groundwork for whatever comes next. No parents in the room; this age gets their own space.
Six weekly one-hour sessions. $120 per teen. First cohort starts Tuesday, Sept 15th @ 6pm
REGISTRATION COMING SOON
Figure It Out is a hands-on cohort series for kids 7 and up. Each six-week round takes on a different world — Studio (art), Build (engineering), Worth (money & value), Story (storytelling), and Wild (nature) — but every one grows the same muscles: creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and the persistence to try, fail, and try again.
Six weekly one-hour sessions. $120 per child. Sign up for the cohorts that spark your kid, or take the full-year track (all five) for $500 instead of $600.
First cohort starts Thursday, Sept 17th @ 5pm.

What Participants Are Saying...
"Doing Soma with Annie is a joy. It is also deep connection work and she makes it safe and so positive. To be real for an hour in that space is like a month of regular therapy. I have gained some incredible insight in a very short period of time in this class and I look forward to more." -M
“Annie led a magnificent somatic session! She supported self awareness and engagement of the group. The combination of being able to be aware of where we were personally while also balancing the group being able to lend support to each other allowed me to feel safe enough to be vulnerable. I loved the journal prompts she presented and being able to move my body in a way that served me in the moment, she provided the avenue for exploration and did a great job allowing us to find what feels good without restriction. The exformation exercise was my favorite because of how much I wanted to retreat but was giggling through it; she welcomed us to release the reigns in a comfortable safe way. She inspired me.” - D, Colorado
I just completed Annie's two hour Rooted workshop and as usual it was a WOW! I walked away understanding how I can better self-regulate, shift my energy, and she makes sure there's enjoyment, laughter, and opportunity to dig deep and learn more about myself. Did I mention she has great playlists? Going to one of Annie's classes or workshops is a gift that keeps on giving to yourself. - M, Indiana
