Hello, and thanks for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Jody, and I’m originally from San Diego. After spending the last year in Baja California, Mexico, I’m excited to be planting roots in Portland. I’m an RYT 500-hour yoga teacher and NB-HWC Health and Wellness Coach with a deep passion for integrative, trauma-informed movement and healing.
My teaching weaves together gentle asana, breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help students ground into their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and cultivate lasting well-being. Rooted in a philosophy of radical inclusivity and personal choice, I believe everybody deserves access to practices that meet them exactly where they are. I hold additional certifications in Yoga of Recovery, Meditation and Mindfulness Instruction, Yoga and Ayurveda Foundations, and Self Myofascial Release, and bring a rich, multidisciplinary perspective to every class I teach.
I’m a dog-obsessed, long-distance runner, and my goal is to run my first full marathon to celebrate my 50th birthday. I’ve survived cancer, and I’ve also been living with a kidney/pancreas transplant since 2009. I understand the challenge of striving for a vibrant, healthy life while balancing challenging health issues. It’s why I began teaching Yoga. Helping others on their wellness journey is also how I help myself. I am honored to be part of the Heart Spring Health community and look for ward to sharing this work with you.

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Jody, and I’m originally from San Diego. After spending the last year in Baja California, Mexico, I’m excited to be planting roots in Portland. I’m an RYT 500-hour yoga teacher and NB-HWC Health and Wellness Coach with a deep passion for integrative, trauma-informed movement and healing.
My teaching weaves together gentle asana, breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help students ground into their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and cultivate lasting well-being. Rooted in a philosophy of radical inclusivity and personal choice, I believe everybody deserves access to practices that meet them exactly where they are. I hold additional certifications in Yoga of Recovery, Meditation and Mindfulness Instruction, Yoga and Ayurveda Foundations, and Self Myofascial Release, and bring a rich, multidisciplinary perspective to every class I teach.
I’m a dog-obsessed, long-distance runner, and my goal is to run my first full marathon to celebrate my 50th birthday. I’ve survived cancer, and I’ve also been living with a kidney/pancreas transplant since 2009. I understand the challenge of striving for a vibrant, healthy life while balancing challenging health issues. It’s why I began teaching Yoga. Helping others on their wellness journey is also how I help myself. I am honored to be part of the Heart Spring Health community and look for ward to sharing this work with you.

Wake Up Yoga & Pranayama
2027-03-13 07:15 - 08:15
Start your day with this gentle, all-levels class blending yoga and pranayama to help you mindfully wake up the body and nervous system. Rather than pushing for intensity, we move slowly and intentionally, working through mobility, grounding postures, and breathwork designed to ease you into your body rather than force it into shape.
This class is trauma-informed, meaning cues are invitational rather than directive, and you’re always encouraged to listen to what your body needs in the moment. Modifications and options are offered throughout every posture, so whether you’re new to yoga, recovering from injury, or simply craving a softer practice, you’ll find a version that meets you where you are. No experience necessary!

Meet Rachel
I believe the breath is connected to everything. Our muscles are connected to fascia, fascia is connected to the nervous system, the nervous system is shaped by the heart, and the heart is sustained by the lungs. Breath is one of the most basic signs of life, but it is also one of the most powerful tools we have for reconnecting with the body.
The mind, body, and spirit are not separate parts of us; they are always communicating. Our thoughts, emotions, relationships, stress, and lived experiences shape the way our bodies function, affecting sleep, energy, mood, digestion, tension, pain, and our ability to feel safe within ourselves. Likewise, what is held in the body can show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, fatigue, disconnection, or a sense of being stuck.
Through my approach, I bring a trauma-informed lens to breathwork that honors the relationship between the body, the nervous system, and lived experience. Breathwork supports the whole system because breath touches the whole system. Intentional breathing practices may support stress reduction, emotional regulation, anxiety relief, increased body awareness, nervous system resilience, and a greater sense of calm, presence, and inner steadiness. Through breathwork, we can begin to support the body from the inside out, creating more space, awareness, regulation, and connection throughout the whole self.

Yin & Win: A Saturday Yin Yoga Class
2027-03-13 10:00 - 11:15
A Saturday Yin Yoga Series
Welcome to this beginner-friendly Saturday Yin yoga class series hosted by Heather! This a slow, calming practice designed to help you unwind and reset.
This yin yoga class is a gentle, floor-based style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods (typically a few minutes at a time) to deeply stretch the connective tissues, improve flexibility, and encourage stillness in both body and mind.
In this class, we’ll settle into simple, supported shapes and focus on relaxed breathing, allowing gravity and time to do the work rather than effort or intensity. You’ll be invited to go at your own pace, with options to adjust or come out of poses whenever you need. This is a space to slow down, release tension, and cultivate a sense of ease—perfect for easing out of the day and leaving feeling grounded, open, and deeply restored.
All levels welcome!

Meet Your Instructor
Hello, and thanks for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Jody, and I’m originally from San Diego. After spending the last year in Baja California, Mexico, I’m excited to be planting roots in Portland. I’m an RYT 500-hour yoga teacher and NB-HWC Health and Wellness Coach with a deep passion for integrative, trauma-informed movement and healing.
My teaching weaves together gentle asana, breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help students ground into their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and cultivate lasting well-being. Rooted in a philosophy of radical inclusivity and personal choice, I believe everybody deserves access to practices that meet them exactly where they are. I hold additional certifications in Yoga of Recovery, Meditation and Mindfulness Instruction, Yoga and Ayurveda Foundations, and Self Myofascial Release, and bring a rich, multidisciplinary perspective to every class I teach.
I’m a dog-obsessed, long-distance runner, and my goal is to run my first full marathon to celebrate my 50th birthday. I’ve survived cancer, and I’ve also been living with a kidney/pancreas transplant since 2009. I understand the challenge of striving for a vibrant, healthy life while balancing challenging health issues. It’s why I began teaching Yoga. Helping others on their wellness journey is also how I help myself. I am honored to be part of the Heart Spring Health community and look for ward to sharing this work with you.
