Welcome

Movement that begins with sensation, not aesthetics. We explore what the body feels, not just what it looks like. This is yoga guided by your nervous system, not a pose or a shape.

Benefits: Increases body awareness, soothes the nervous system, improves mobility, and helps release stored stress or emotion.

Connective tissue lines that weave through your body in diagonal spirals. They support your posture, guide your movement, and store so much of your history ~ physical and emotional.

Benefits: When activated, these slings help you move with grace, power, and efficiency. Think: less effort, more ease.

A spiral-based warm-up sequence used in every Wildflower class. Think fascia flossing: twisting, reaching, rocking, and spiraling to wake up your system.

Benefits: Improves hydration in your connective tissues, gently warms your joints, and builds a relationship between breath and motion.

A gentle, spiraling posture: one hand behind your neck, the other wrapped behind your lower back. Add a soft twist and some breath, and it becomes a moving meditation.

Benefits: Opens the front body, encourages spinal mobility, and supports emotional release.

A standing flow that draws energy up through your legs and down through your arms, like watering a plant from within. Guided by breath, soft repetition, and rhythm.

Benefits: Reconnects upper and lower body through diagonal movement, regulates your nervous system, and creates a grounded-yet-fluid state.

A signature posture in our classes. Arms rotate out into a soft w shape ~ wide, strong, and open. Sometimes we hold hoops here, sometimes we just breathe.

This shape reminds us that you can be powerful and gentle at the same time.

Benefits: Opens the chest, strengthens the upper back, supports shoulder mobility, invites presence.

The biomechanical foundation of the Wildflower Way. This refers to the way we organize the bones, seat the joints, and create containment through pressure. It's about building strength and stability from the ground up ~ especially through the feet, femurs, and pelvis.

Benefits: Improves joint stability (especially hips, knees, and SI joints), reduces chronic tension and compensation patterns, increases glute and core engagement, improves balance and proprioception.

The spiral is the body's native motion. This pillar focuses on the fascia ~ the body's connective tissue ~ and the way it transmits force and emotion through twist, rotation, and cross-body movement. Spiral Somatics teaches us to move like vines: adaptable, expressive, and strong.

Benefits: Enhances mobility through natural fascia pathways, improves coordination and fluidity in movement, releases stuck or asymmetrical patterns, integrates cross-body strength and flow.

Stillness is not the goal ~ presence is. Moving Meditation is the rhythm of the Wildflower Way. It means tuning in to sensation, slowing down, and letting movement become a conversation with your nervous system. You don't have to sit still to listen deeply.

Benefits: Lowers stress and helps regulate the nervous system, increases sensory awareness and emotional connection, deepens breath, reduces internal bracing, allows access to presence without requiring stillness.

A Wildflower is anyone growing in their own direction, in their own time, in their own light. That means you.

This glossary will grow as the practice grows.

New words. New shapes. New understandings.

But the heart of it will always stay the same:

You belong in your body.

And your body knows the way.
