If you’ve ever worried that the risks of moving your body outweigh the benefits, this workshop is for you. You’ll do a full body flow, entirely lying down. No gravity–just safe, gentle movement.
This is good for everyone but it has a special call-out to people with:
POTS
Chronic pain
Back aches
Fatigue
Hypermobility
Without the effects of gravity, you get the stress-reducing benefits of exercise, even if you’re having a “bad day”. Afterwards, you’ll have time for journaling to fully synthesize your experience.

About Julia
I’m Julia, a yoga, Pilates, and meditation instructor in Madison, WI. I’ve been a contemplative movement instructor for over 7 years but I’ve had a personal movement practice my whole life.
In my professional practice, one of my specialties is working with people who are on the hypermobility spectrum. This has given me direct experience with people who have very challenging bodies–bodies with chronic pain, chronic inflammation, circulatory issues, digestive issues–generally bodies that give people a lot of trouble.
After thousands of hours of observing people with even the most challenging physical conditions, I can see patterns. I have a good understanding of how certain movements support and enhance wellbeing.
I bring this deep understanding to my workshops.
