About this event

  • 1 hour 15 minutes

(Please notice our evolving schedule! Our May offerings are Fridays at Noon, while our June offerings are Saturdays at 4:00pm.)


A class for every human, regardless of experience with yoga or somatics. Whether you are a seasoned or first-time practitioner, you'll be welcomed and honored in this space. Rayleen will invite you into a variety of postures and flow states, consistently encouraging your validation of your unique bodily truths. This class will offer options to create heat and work with our edges, BUT we will aways exalt mindful movement above athleticism. This is space for you to establish awareness of your moment-to-moment experience, and offer kind attention to your personal explorations. We will use breath-based flow, gentle balancing postures, and moments of stillness to ground our practice and access our somatic wisdom.


Suggested sliding scale donation range is $11 to $22. Nobody is turned away for lack of funds.

Mats, cushions, and other supportive props are available for use at no cost. Wear clothing that feels comfortable and movable for you; there is no need to purchase attire from the yoga industrial complex.


Rayleen is a trained and experienced teacher of neuro-informed, trauma-sensitive yoga, including postural practices, breathwork, and meditation. She is also an agnostic witch; her yogic offerings are grounded in the elements and informed by lunar cycles and tarot pulls.


IMPORTANT NOTES:

- As a safety consideration, the door will lock five minutes after class start time. (If you paid for registration and are more than five minutes late, we will happily credit you for another class.)

- Yoga On Yamhill’s studio is up a flight of stairs without elevator access.

- We ask that phones and devices are turned off before entering the practice space.


Organized by

The Somatic Coven is a neuroinformative, magickal learning community for radical somatic reclamation. Together, we:

… cultivate trauma-sensitive spaces outside of the Healing Industrial Complex, invoking our innate witchery to shape our nervous systems and befriend our body-based experiences.

… draw on elemental practices to generate safety in an unsafe world, grounded in the teachings of lunar cycles, meditative movement, tarotist archetypes, and other forms of magick.

… gather with intentions of witnessing and being witnessed, co-nurturing dignity for our wholly unique bodies, and accessing joy without spiritual bypass.

… foreground embodiment as a radical choice during these apocalyptic times; and examine, celebrate, and advocate for somatic exploration as both a political and spiritual act.
