Embodied Practice

Yoga for Every Body

A complete yoga practice rooted in Haṭha and Vinyasa Yoga, with an emphasis on mindful movement, breath, somatic awareness, and presence.

Embodied Practice is Tula’s foundational yoga class. Rather than focusing on achieving shapes or performing poses, we use movement as a way to develop awareness of the body from the inside out. Classes may include flowing sequences, longer-held postures, gentle somatic movement, breath practices, meditation, and opportunities for rest.

The practice is adaptable and accessible, with options for different bodies, abilities, and levels of experience. Props, chairs, and modifications are always welcome.

Come as you are and practice in a way that supports the body you are in today.

Practice Lab

Deepen + Explore

A workshop-style practice focused on exploration, skill-building, and the breakdown of more complex postures and movement patterns.

Practice Lab offers more time to investigate aspects of the physical yoga practice that we may not have time to explore in a regular class. Depending on the week, we might work with inversions, arm balances, backbends, standing balances, binds, transitions, strength, mobility, or other areas of curiosity.

Classes may include preparatory movement, repetition, props, wall work, and opportunities to pause, ask questions, and experiment.

The emphasis is not on performing advanced poses, but on curiosity, refinement, embodied learning, and discovering what is possible in your own body.

Some yoga experience is helpful, but you do not need to be able to perform any particular pose to participate.

Rest & Restore

Movement + Deep Rest

A deeply supportive practice that blends restorative yoga, gentle somatic movement, breathwork, and guided rest.

Rest & Restore is an invitation to slow down. Using blankets, bolsters, blocks, and other supports, we create conditions that allow the body to soften and the nervous system to settle.

Classes may begin with gentle or somatic movement before transitioning into longer-held restorative postures, breathing practices, meditation, or guided relaxation.

This practice is appropriate for anyone seeking a quieter, more restful experience and can be especially supportive during periods of stress, fatigue, recovery, or simply when you need less doing and more being.

No previous yoga experience is necessary.

Meditation Practice

Mindfulness Meditation

Meditation Practice is a guided practice of learning to meet the present moment with steadiness, curiosity, and compassion.

Through awareness of the breath, body, thoughts, emotions, and sounds, we practice noticing what is here without needing to fix, change, or judge our experience.

Classes may include guided meditation, periods of quiet, and occasional reflections on themes from the mindfulness tradition, including presence, compassion, impermanence, non-judgment, and working skillfully with thoughts and emotions.

All are welcome, and no meditation experience is needed. Students are invited to sit in a chair, on a cushion, lie down, or choose any position that supports attentive presence.

Offered on a dāna/pay-as-you-can basis. Dāna is the practice of generosity; there is no required fee, and students are invited to offer a voluntary contribution in support of the teaching and community.
