Breath Work + Meditation
If you can sit in a chair or lay down, breathe, and meditate, then you can practice Yoga. Yoga truly is for everyone!
The breath is like a "remote control" for the nervous system, and by controlling the breath we can activate the parasympathetic, or "rest & digest," response at will. However, improper breathing can actually create more tension and anxiety. Proper breathing is not something we are taught in school, and since we take it for granted, it is common to become habituated into poor breathing patterns.
Practicing pranayama, or Yogic breath work, is a wonderful tool to prepare the body and mind for meditation. Both breath work and meditation are extremely powerful methods of relieving stress, reducing anxiety, increasing mental focus and clarity, and promoting inner peace and relaxation.
Each private breath work and meditation session is tailored to your unique needs as a client. Sessions can be offered online or in person, but if done online the session(s) can be recorded and replayed as many times as you like, for use in a regular spiritual practice!
Sessions may include:
Intention setting
Techniques to relieve stress, anxiety, fear, burnout, anger, and to calm the nervous system
Chanting/ recitation of mantra (or prayer)
Use of mudra (Yogic hand gestures)
Mindful breathing techniques (pranayama)
Guided meditation for deep rest & rejuvenation, enhanced focus, grounding, spiritual connection, or another intention
Potential areas of focus for breath work and meditation sessions:
Deepen and explore your personal practice
Relief from stress, anxiety, and depression
Practical tools for Yoga teachers in training
Understanding & expanding past core wounds

I love working with clients to connect with their bodies, ground their energy, and open their hearts to align with higher wisdom. My specialties as a teacher include: Hatha, Vinyasa, Tantra, and gentle Yoga, Ayurvedic Yoga, and personalized guided Breath Work and Meditation sessions.
YOGA CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Paisley is incredible! Their presence is both calming and uplifting, and their passion and concern for their students really shines through. Their deep and varied background is also evident - it’s clear that they’re not just following a script, but thoughtfully combining a variety of traditions based on what the situation calls for. Also, as a trans woman, being seen and validated for who I am isn’t a given - with Paisley, it was immediately clear that they perceived me and understood me. They are truly a talented teacher and an amazing human being - I am so grateful to be a student of theirs.” —JJ

“If you are looking for technically sound Yoga instruction (private or classes), breath work training, or Ayurveda coaching, Paisley is your person! Over the past several months, I have had private sessions and went on a Yoga retreat facilitated by Paisley; words cannot describe the positive impact these times have had on my life (physically, emotionally, and spiritually). Paisley has helped me find balance, confidence, increased self-worth, and hope; every session has been well thought-out, and I have always left feeling empowered, confident, refreshed, and better equipped to face the challenges of life! Paisley is a beautiful and unique soul and I highly recommend their products and services!” —Amanda
“I’ve found my classes with Paisley to be both challenging and rewarding. After each class, not only did I feel that much closer to healing my mind and body (including a relief of built up stress and tension), but I also receive a greater understanding of yoga asana and pranayama that I have used both in subsequent classes and on my own. Paisley is a caring, skillful, and well-educated instructor, and I am grateful that they are willing to share their knowledge and experience with the rest of us.” —Eugene
