Our Programs
Our services are curated by experts and researchers across the disciplines of mental health, yoga, and psychology.
Therapeutic Yoga
Yoga is therapeutic when the intention is to have optimal health, full range of motion, and physical independence. Each session is private, therapeutic, and designed to address your specific needs, whether you’re recovering from an injury, expanding range of motion, or aligning your body.
Meditation + Pranayama Circle
We meditate in small groups each weekday to reduce mental overload, reprogram our neural pathways and train the mind to actively focusing on a single point or object. Breath regulation, or pranayama, increases the oxygen supply to your brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in a calmer, more relaxed state
The Global Majority
Our aim is to create a compassionate and welcoming space for individuals with similar experience. This healing circle is for Black and Brown individuals to process their experiences, build connections, and skills, without the fear of stigma or judgement.
Somatic Workshops
We invite guest speakers to dive deep into the roots of our anxiety and the stories we tell ourselves. We listen to our body, identify triggers, adjust behaviors, release tension, and build resilience.

"Life Changing! I took yoga and meditation with Avenelle when I was experiencing sciatica nerve issues. She helped to ease my discomfort with various stretches. I highly recommend Avenelle's class to everyone."
Willie Churchill
“As an accountant, I sit for hours at a time. I needed a plan for my mental and physical health. I love the mental aspect of exhaling, clearing my mind, and relaxing my body. I’m incredibly grateful.”
Mary Archille Crank
“Avenelle helped me recover from various injuries and to improve my strength, flexibility and balance. She brings her warmth, ease and presence to every session. Avenelle designs each class to build on my strengths and gently offer challenges while encouraging me to listen to the wisdom of my body. With Avenelle, I feel safe and held.”
Dr. Cedar Finkle-Weaver MD
“Avenelle offered me some great ways to deal with my anxiety. One suggestion was to use full-spectrum CBD oil and I found that it worked quickly. Another, surprisingly great tool was a sandbag. I place the sandbag on my hips right before bed. And my sleep was much deeper with fewer interruptions. I'm quite thankful for these tools!”
Aminika Reese
“Amazing experience! I booked several yoga sessions with Avenelle. I am a beginner and therefore have not had much experience with yoga. Avenelle was very attentive, and great at ensuring the poses were done correctly.“
