Classes, Groups, & Trainings
At Empowered Spaces, our class offerings are a space to learn, heal, and grow together — rooted in embodiment, relationship, and collective care. Each offering is designed to support healing, nervous system nourishment, and the practice of showing up to life with more presence and compassion.
Offerings include Trainings, Yoga, Movement & Somatic Classes, Soundhealing & Expressive Arts, Therapy Groups, and offerings For Helpers, Healers & Changemakers.
Our classes and groups are facilitated by members of the Empowered Spaces Collective. Each practitioner operates their own independent business and offers their work through our shared space. Empowered Spaces does not supervise or direct these offerings; each facilitator is responsible for their own class or group.
About Equity-Rooted Pricing at Empowered Spaces
At Empowered Spaces, we recognize that access to wellness is shaped by systemic inequity — including racism, colonialism, and economic injustice. While many of our offerings use a general equity pricing scale, we also honor that Black-led and community-specific offerings may hold more explicit pricing practices rooted in lived experience, mutual aid traditions, and cultural care. We stand behind our practitioners in designing pricing structures that reflect their values, identities, and communities. These practices are part of our shared commitment to justice, access, and collective wellbeing.

The Embodied Professional
For counselors, social workers, therapists, coaches, educators, and anyone in the helping professions.
A CE training with Heather Gargis — Hosted by Heather Gargis
August 1, 9:00AM - Noon
The Embodied Professional is a three-hour experiential workshop for helping professionals who are tired of pushing through — overriding their body's natural rhythms in order to keep showing up, stay available, and project certainty even when they're unsure.
This workshop explores how our nervous systems reach for certainty in moments of stress and how that very impulse can lead to exhaustion, disconnection, and burnout.
Through guided movement, reflection, somatic contemplation, and nervous system education, participants will learn to recognize their own regulation patterns, build the capacity to meet uncertainty with curiosity rather than control, and nourish the inner reserves that make sustainable work possible.
This work is explored through both an individual and systemic lens because the uncertainty we carry as clinicians is never just personal. This isn't about doing more — it's about doing differently.
Yoga Classes
Finding Ground: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community
Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00pm
July 7-28, 2026 — Sign up for the whole series or drop in
Finding Ground is a 4-week yoga and meditation series to help you reconnect with yourself, calm your nervous system, and find steadiness—both within and around you—during uncertain and challenging times. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or in need of a gentle retreat, this series is here to support you—whether you’re new to yoga and meditation or already have a practice.
The practices and teachings of yoga offer a path of slowing down, tuning into the wisdom of the body, and releasing stuck energy and emotions. Practicing in a shared space adds to these already-powerful benefits by fostering community, connection, and support. You'll also receive encouragement and guidance for building a simple home practice, including audio recordings to support you between sessions. Over our four weeks together, we’ll explore what it means to feel grounded—physically, emotionally, and in community.
This series is based on the teachings of The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method.
Movement & Somatic Classes
Awareness Through Movement ®
Thursdays, 10:00 - 11:00AM
Thursdays, 7:00 - 8:00PM
Led by Kelly Feder GCFT (she/her), Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher
The Gift of Awareness Through Movement. One of the gifts of a Feldenkrais practice is broadening our capacity to know thyself. To learn, not only better movement, but better ways to think, adapt, create and be with the challenges of living a full life. Prioritizing the quality of the movement rather than the achievement of it, students engage their curiosity, let go of will and solve each puzzle in their own timing. The learning is fun, challenging and often times surprising. Slowing down and reducing your efforts, you will investigate and discover unconscious preferences and habits of action. Whether you are interested in getting rid of everyday aches and pains, improving your athletic or artistic performance or coping with a chronic health issue. FELDENKRAIS WILL EMPOWER YOU to become your own teacher. Students of the Feldenkrais Method are endlessly astounded that doing less can lead to so much more flexibility, power, spontaneity, ease, freedom, ability, joy

Releasing Grief from the Body with Expressive Movement

Are you experiencing feelings of grief, loss, anxiety, or overwhelm? Sometimes, these emotions get stuck in the body, causing suffering and preventing us from moving forward.

If you participated in the previous practice with Margie, this time will be different (new poses/techniques) from what you experienced before. Each practice offers and invites a different transformation.
