ON THE MAT

Yoga Wherever You Are

Slow down and align body, heart and mind on the mat. Bella’s movement practice integrates yoga philosophy with the pragmatic wisdom of holistic physical therapy.

Whether in-person or virtual, expertly guided practice allows us to be with our bodies just as they are. Healing begins in the space of this presence. And we are not alone: a sense of community offers encouragement. And music: feel the way tempo, fluidity and rhythm supports your practice.

“I thoroughly enjoyed today’s class – a deep and powerful experience with my pelvis – and I did feel the effect all the way up to my neck! Please send the recording. This is one I really should repeat. I also want you to know that I find that your classes are always professionally presented with a warm and personal touch that relaxes and invites good effort and active participation. I include the “teaching” about anatomy in that comment – definitely helpful in locating those bones and muscles! THANK YOU!” B.J.

Bella guides students on the mat to be:

Loose – self-release with balls and rollers
Long – establish length in connective tissue and spine
Strong – subtly tone and strengthen the core.

Bella guides students through the Essential map:

Every practice includes the basics of loose, long and strong. And week after week, throughout the year, we systematically journey through the body. You can join at any point along the way.

Foot, Leg, Hip
Spine, Neck, Head
Pelvic Bowl
Rib Cage
Shoulder, Arm, Hand
Organ Body
Nervous System

An Essentials class, virtual or live, supports you in cultivating a steady, comfortable at-home mat practice. As the weeks go by, subtle anatomical education creates a natural embodied way of being in the world. These offerings heal and nourish people of all physical capabilities.

Essentials: wherever you call home, join Bella for this virtual Zoom class. Each session is recorded for your home support. A library is building of the Essential Maps, available soon!

Essential Recharge: a two hour class LIVE once a month in Sacramento. This expanded time allows us to move slowly through the basics, the opportunity for touch of gentle hands on invitation and visual demonstration that can only be done live.

Roll, dance, and stretch with the support of a musical wave. We open softly with guided ball and roller massage to iron out kinks, sink into gravity, and melt into flow. Feel the music warming your body from inside, out. Let the rhythm activate your life force and gently shake out whatever needs release, moving with whatever emerges. Finally, settle the nervous system through luxurious stretching and surrender to shavasana.

Testimonial

“Bella, your Essentials teaching is really translating very well. You’re a clear communicator which is essential as a teacher. Thank you for being so clear. I feel as if I am in a class and sitting really close to you at the top of class which I really like – cause I can see your body and feel seen by the teacher … this really is my favorite online thing I have tried. There’s intimacy … how cool. Well done.”
