If you asked yourself “What does my body need right now?” and “What does my mind need right now?”, there is a good chance that the word rest might be part of your answer to both questions.
Now is the time to move slow, lie low, and engage in tender conversations with your body through flowing movements, meditative practices, and restful and restorative postures.
Together we’ll explore accessible methods of restful movement, dynamic rest, and mindful noticing to tap into your body’s innate wisdom and to release pockets of stored stress.
Give yourself the gift of time and devoted attention to come home to your body and to rest in the safety of your own nervous system.
This class is not a traditional Yoga or Meditation class, but will use techniques from those methodologies, as well as from Somatics. Beginner friendly. No previous yoga or mindfulness experience necessity.

Focus on yourself and your own healing after pregnancy or birth. This course is a supportive space to reconnect to your non-pregnant body and your sense of self.

Parenting is overwhelming, so rest assured that you are welcome to show up and connect to the community exactly as you are. This emotionally supportive space is just as much about easing your mind as it is healing your body.

What is yoga nidra? Yoga nidra is a paradoxical meditative state of conscious sleep; a beautiful space where we may come home to our Hearts.
Many beautiful treasures can be encountered as we practice: healthy sleep cycles, release of old tensions, emotional resilience, intuitive insights, and even creative ideas to name a few… that said, what happens in your yoga nidra space is for you to uncover, and you can trust that your body’s wisdom will extract exactly what it needs from each practice—without any effort on your part. Yoga nidra is typically practiced in a resting position, so you may simply lie back, lightly listen to the sound of my guidance, and let the magic unfold.
About Kimberley Luu I’m a therapeutic yoga teacher specializing in yoga nidra. With healing justice at the foundation of my teaching and practice, my aim is to facilitate restorative experiences that help soothe the collective wounds which systems of oppression burden our bodies daily.
I began practicing yoga in 2008 and discovered yoga nidra specifically six years later during my graduate studies—a period marked heavily by chronic insomnia and exhaustion. Yoga nidra helped me find solace and rest during this difficult time, and has since expanded to support me through my creative work, relationships, community engagements, and spiritual practice.
After much personal exploration, I completed my Therapeutic, Restorative, and Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings with Felicia Pavlovic and Ante Pavlovic at Yoga Therapy Toronto. Soon after, I completed my Yoga Nidra Teacher Training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Nirlipta Tuli at Total Yoga Nidra. In addition to my trainers, I am gratefully influenced by leaders in trauma-sensitive yoga, including Nicole Brown Faulknor, Sheila Singh, and Yoli Maya Yeh. My pronouns are she/ her.

Prenatal yoga will leave you feeling strong, relaxed, and more connected to yourself and your baby. Our classes go beyond simply modifying yoga poses. With an emphasis on strength, breathing, gentle stretches and community connection, this course can help prepare your mind and body for birth and parenting.
Each session will include poses that bring balance and alignment to your pelvis, pelvic floor, and pelvic and uterine ligaments. Through yoga asana, students can safely encounter strong sensations, and alongside that, discover the coping skills that work best for you and can later be applied to moments of physical or mental discomfort, like during labour and early parenthood. This mindful approach to yoga practice will leave you feeling ready for whatever lies ahead in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
We empower students to continuously learn about pregnancy, the birthing process and early parenthood. Our practice sessions are grounded in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates the value of community as you explore this current chapter of life. This class is exclusively for pregnant people (not a partners class).
Beginners to yoga and any stage of pregnancy are welcome.

This unique class is for anyone who is on a path to recovering from physical or emotional trauma. The class aims to give participants tools to understand how trauma affects the body, to move through embodied trauma (trauma stored in the body) through movement. Trauma may seem like a loaded word, but it is something that affects many of us through major losses, accidents, violence, or other major life stresses.
Embodiment for Trauma Recovery consists of very gentle movements, simple postures from hatha yoga, and breath awareness. The classes are aimed at building a trauma survivor’s sense of empowerment and cultivating a more positive relationship to one's body. The class focuses on internal sensing and reclaiming choice in your body, and is less about form or technique. Absolutely everything in the class is optional, and the practice is beginner-friendly.
Based on the evidence-based methodology of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga. Embodiment for Trauma Recovery is a group movement class. While this class is taught by a Registered Psychotherapist, it is not group therapy. As an adjunctive therapy, it is not intended as a replacement for working with a qualified therapist. Participants are encouraged to seek adjunctive treatment with a therapist to support the process of healing as needed.

Take the time to nourish yourself and your growing baby with practices of gentle movement followed by deep relaxation and rest.

These practices can help you discover coping strategies and relaxation techniques for the challenges of labour and early parenthood.

Reacquaint yourself with your post-pregnancy body by strengthening areas that have weakened and easing tension in areas that are overburdened, including your pelvic floor, glutes, hips, abdomen, back, chest, shoulders and neck.
Parenting is overwhelming, so rest assured that you are welcome to show up and connect to the community exactly as you are. This emotionally supportive space is just as much about easing your mind as it is healing your body.
Open to students once you are a minimum 6 weeks postpartum, whether you birthed vaginally or by C-section. There is no maximum time postpartum - it’s never too late to reconnect and heal after pregnancy.

What is yoga nidra? Yoga nidra is a paradoxical meditative state of conscious sleep; a beautiful space where we may come home to our Hearts.
Many beautiful treasures can be encountered as we practice: healthy sleep cycles, release of old tensions, emotional resilience, intuitive insights, and even creative ideas to name a few… that said, what happens in your yoga nidra space is for you to uncover, and you can trust that your body’s wisdom will extract exactly what it needs from each practice—without any effort on your part. Yoga nidra is typically practiced in a resting position, so you may simply lie back, lightly listen to the sound of my guidance, and let the magic unfold.
About Kimberley Luu I’m a therapeutic yoga teacher specializing in yoga nidra. With healing justice at the foundation of my teaching and practice, my aim is to facilitate restorative experiences that help soothe the collective wounds which systems of oppression burden our bodies daily.
I began practicing yoga in 2008 and discovered yoga nidra specifically six years later during my graduate studies—a period marked heavily by chronic insomnia and exhaustion. Yoga nidra helped me find solace and rest during this difficult time, and has since expanded to support me through my creative work, relationships, community engagements, and spiritual practice.
After much personal exploration, I completed my Therapeutic, Restorative, and Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings with Felicia Pavlovic and Ante Pavlovic at Yoga Therapy Toronto. Soon after, I completed my Yoga Nidra Teacher Training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Nirlipta Tuli at Total Yoga Nidra. In addition to my trainers, I am gratefully influenced by leaders in trauma-sensitive yoga, including Nicole Brown Faulknor, Sheila Singh, and Yoli Maya Yeh. My pronouns are she/ her.

Prenatal yoga will leave you feeling strong, relaxed, and more connected to yourself and your baby. Our classes go beyond simply modifying yoga poses. With an emphasis on strength, breathing, gentle stretches and community connection, this course can help prepare your mind and body for birth and parenting.
Each session will include poses that bring balance and alignment to your pelvis, pelvic floor, and pelvic and uterine ligaments. Through yoga asana, students can safely encounter strong sensations, and alongside that, discover the coping skills that work best for you and can later be applied to moments of physical or mental discomfort, like during labour and early parenthood. This mindful approach to yoga practice will leave you feeling ready for whatever lies ahead in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
We empower students to continuously learn about pregnancy, the birthing process and early parenthood. Our practice sessions are grounded in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates the value of community as you explore this current chapter of life. This class is exclusively for pregnant people (not a partners’ class).
Beginners to yoga and any stage of pregnancy are welcome.

Embodiment for Trauma Recovery consists of very gentle movements, simple postures from hatha yoga, and breath awareness. The classes are aimed at building a trauma survivor’s sense of empowerment and cultivating a more positive relationship to one's body. The class focuses on internal sensing and reclaiming choice in your body, and is less about form or technique. Absolutely everything in the class is optional, and the practice is beginner-friendly.
Based on the evidence-based methodology of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga. Embodiment for Trauma Recovery is a group movement class. While this class is taught by a Registered Psychotherapist, it is not group therapy. As an adjunctive therapy, it is not intended as a replacement for working with a qualified therapist. Participants are encouraged to seek adjunctive treatment with a therapist to support the process of healing as needed.
