The deeper work of the class is the layered approach to caring for the mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual sheaths of our being, through IFS inspired Yoga practice. Internal family Systems therapy is very close to yoga philosophy in that they both recognize a central self that is compassionate and clear, and parts of mind that form through pain that can be unburdened.

Many options and invitations to explore will be given for students to discover what feels caring for the body and what doesn't.
