About this Event
A fundraising class in support of Atlas, who was diagnosed with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.

This is part of a four-class somatic yoga series. 100% of ticket proceeds from this class will go to the Brock Knight Foundation.

About the facilitator:
Angora is a trauma-informed somatic yoga teacher with over 15 years of practice and teaching combined and 1300+ hours of training.
Her own journey through injury, nervous system dysregulation, relocation, pregnancy, and motherhood gradually shifted her relationship with movement away from performance and toward a more sustainable and embodied approach.
Today, she blends somatics with yoga to create spaces where students can reconnect with themselves gently, honestly, and without pressure to perform.
