    $40+hst Community Supporter | $32+hst Standard Rate | $18+hst Subsidized Rate
     
    Coregulation is the new self-regulation! TRE enthusiasts are invited to gather for a shared practice experience. Tremoring in a group offers a greater sense of connection with others, helping to ground yourself and your tremor process in the social engagement branch of your nervous system. Come out to refresh your knowledge of the exercises, receive guidance and space held by a Certified TRE Provider, and enjoy hearing and learning from others how they experience TRE. This workshop is appropriate if you previously learned TRE by yourself or with a provider one-on-one or in a group.

    Note: this workshop is for individuals who have previously learned TRE, and is not appropriate for brand-new beginners. If you'd like to learn TRE, check out our 6 wk beginner course, Integrating Stress & Tension w/TRE. 

    This workshop will take place IN-STUDIO only

    Details

    $35+hst Standard Rate | $45+hst Community Supporter

    Subsidized Rate:  20% off the Standard Rate (for more information on how to access the subsidized rate, visit our Sliding Scale Pricing webpage)

    It can be challenging to find uninterrupted moments to spend together with your teen/preteen during this busy period in both your lives, and so we invite you to come together for this hour to share in some playful and nurturing mindful movement. Designed as a practice mostly in parallel–with a couple moments of interaction–we will start with a slow flow that will engage and regulate your nervous system, finishing with a restorative moment and meditation (or as previous teens have called it, “yoga nap time”). No experience necessary for this beginner-friendly class, and any teen/pre-teen and caregiver combo that makes up your unique family is welcome.

    Format: This workshop will be offered in a hybrid (virtual and in-person) format. By registering for the IN-STUDIO option, you are reserving an in-person spot at the studio. If you prefer to attend the workshop online, please register for the VIRTUAL listing as in-person spots are limited.

  • IN-STUDIO Learn to Deadlift

    with Nicole
    Details

    $65+hst Standard Rate | $80+hst Community Supporter

    Subsidized Rate:  20% off the Standard Rate (for more information on how to access the subsidized rate, visit our Sliding Scale Pricing webpage)

    2-hour workshop with Nicole DeNoble

    Deadlifting isn't just for powerlifters. It’s for anyone looking to feel stronger and more capable. The deadlift is one of the foundational strength movements that teaches you how to safely and powerfully pick something up off the ground. Whether that “something” is a sleeping child, a loaded laundry basket, or a barbell, the deadlift develops strength you’ll feel in real life. This lift engages your whole body, with a focus on strengthening the posterior muscles—glutes, hamstrings, and back—all critical for posture, movement, and injury prevention.

    Training your deadlift progressively over time supports increased muscle mass, bone density, and confidence in your body’s ability to meet physical challenges. In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll break down the deadlift step by step, and you’ll get hands-on coaching and feedback, and spend dedicated time practicing and refining your form. We’ll cover how to set up your barbell, what to feel in your body during each part of the lift, and how to train it safely and progressively.

    Whether you’re curious about barbells or already lifting and want to improve your technique, this workshop is a chance to ask questions, get personalized support and build confidence in a supportive space. Join Nicole to explore what makes the deadlift such a foundational movement—both in training and in everyday life.

    About Nicole DeNoble: Nicole is an empowering and down-to-earth instructor known for her light-hearted and practical approach. She combines years of experience coaching movement with a strong foundation in anatomy, yoga, and strength training. As the creator of the Strength Essentials program at The Branches, Nicole has helped dozens of beginners feel at ease with barbells—breaking down complex movements into clear, accessible steps for all learning styles and bodies. Whether you're new to lifting or ready to dial in your form, you’ll feel supported and inspired by her teaching.
