The Slow Down Club

 

Movement + Writing

~ The Slow Down Club starts September 2026 ~

Curious what stories your body is holding? Or just need a minute to breathe?

Join me twice a month for The Slow Down Club, an offering I created by weaving together two of my favorite practices: movement and writing. 

The what? The Slow Down Club is a class for relaxing our nervous systems, re-finding center and tuning inward to explore what the body has to say. With a blend of gentle movement and flow writing, we’ll settle together, inviting our curiosity and once the mind quiets, we’ll let sensation and insight spill onto the page. Writing will be guided by the movement itself or by a prompt to aid in your creative process. Perfect for depleted creatives, mothers, caregivers and anyone aching for a creative practice that includes the whole body.

Each class offers an opportunity to share, but pages can always stay private. Come as you are. No yoga experience or writing skills required.

FOR THOSE WHO:

  • Long for a deeper connection with their body, creativity and community. 

  • Need the kind of rest a nap can’t give. 

  • Feel stuck or uninspired in life.

  • Feel a creative pull need help following it

  • Want to keep the writing muscle warm.

*No prior writing or yoga experience required. Just a journal and a pen! 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Each class will begin with a brief settling-in task (free-writing or journaling to music) and a connection circle, where I will discuss the class theme. We’ll continue with a 25 to 35 minutes somatic practice and flow into guided writing together. Class will end with time for deep relaxation and an invitation to share for further integration. Come as you are. Bring a journal. There is nothing to prepare, just a willingness to be curious.

  • When breathwork, movement, and stillness work together, the nervous system settles. Things long carried begin to move. Words find the page. And when we integrate that experience amongst intentional community . . .  something settles that cannot settle alone.


  • Flow writing, also known as freewriting or automatic writing, is a practice where you write continuously for a set time (usually 10-15 minutes) without stopping, editing, or even lifting your pen. This technique is a way to slip past the self-critic and helps to cultivate trust in your innate creativity.

  • No. This is class is perfect for all levels of writing experience.

  • Absolutely. I teach slow and love beginners. Actually, I think you might find this is a perfect time to start. : )

  • No. I always hold space and offer time if anyone wants to share, but it is never required or expected. This practice is to free ourselves from creating for others whether it be an audience or our own inner critic. This writing is not about producing anything. We aren’t writing literature. We aren’t even trying to make sense of our words. We are allowing sensations, memories, insights to settle onto a page. It’s not about even about being witnesses, but if you are feeling the call to read, then I welcome that!

My Approach to Teaching Movement

Fun and Light

I want you to feel free to laugh, smile, cry, be silent. Come just as you are.

Process Oriented

I like combining postures that build strength with creative fluid sequences while still giving you plenty of time to feel and observe what’s showing up in your body.

All Levels

I do my very best to make my classes accessible to all levels by encouraging the use of props and offering modifications.
