Connect deeply with other women, feel at home in your body, and remember who you truly are.

The Practice® is a weekly ritual of showing up for yourself in a new way. It is a 10-week cathartic experience of yoga and connection. In a circle of like-minded women we let go of perfectionism, show up just as we are, and become whole again.

This is not a yoga class. This is a movement.

Feminine Yoga

The Practice® is a feminine yoga and movement experience that helps you tap into your inner wisdom and deeper truths. It’s a practice that holds space for all our emotions, allows them to come to the surface, and release through the body. It’s about feeling your way through your body, letting go of perfectionism, and finding your own rhythm. It’s fluid, circular, sensual, intuitive, and grounded. Through trusting our body’s wisdom, we remember who we truly are.

Self-Love

The Practice® is a weekly ritual where you show up for yourself in a new way. It’s about love and loyalty to yourself. We practice carving out space for ourselves each week, and showing up again and again, even in the chaos. For 10-weeks we practice self love through connection, deep conversations, journaling, meditation, stillness, peace, acceptance, patience, and grace. You will feel like you’ve found home.

Sisterhood

We crave real connection with other women. We heal when we are together. In a sacred circle, we practice being vulnerable and sharing who we truly are. This gives others permission to do the same and it’s where healing happens. When we open and heal, our world naturally changes. We have more patience, confidence, strength, acceptance, and grace. When we embody these qualities, it has a ripple effect on everything around us, and we can move forward, together.

Testimonials

  • I was especially drawn to The Practice because of how it incorporates conversation and deeper connection into the yoga practice. I was dealing with grief and trauma after losing two younger brothers tragically. I was searching for new ways to find myself again through the pain of loss that had come to overwhelm my sense of self and my outlook on life. Right away after joining The Practice, I started looking forward to my Saturday mornings at Bloom. I always came home feeling energized and inspired. Some weeks, it was hard to share and open myself up to a group of so many amazing and inspiring women. I dreaded digging deep into emotions that my chaotic daily life made it easy to repress. Pushing myself to just show up and let it out was therapeutic, and I started to feel stronger because of it. I came to define myself, not by the tragedies I had endured, but by the strength within myself that kept me going—and even happy—despite those tragedies and other challenges in life. I highly recommend The Practice to anyone who feels stress or anxiety. Also, women who want to feel more connected to others on a deeper level. As women, we don't often talk to others about the things that are really affecting us. We need more than that, and Bloom provides the platform where deeper connection can happen.

  • I joined The Practice after having moved to a new city during my pregnancy and lost half of the year dealing with major pre and post partum depression, I decided I was yearning to build my new community and make connections with other woman in a safe, tight-knit atmosphere. I was also feeling comfortable enough to start sharing my story to enable other woman who's had mental illnesses, struggles as a mother, feeling alienated in a new environment to feel supported. The other big reason is that I NEEDED some "me" time set aside on a routine basis so I can breathe, clear my mind, reflect and rejuvenate. It's helped me sort out my thoughts on my life and others so clearly that it's been instrumental in part of my recovery from my traumatic depression in the past year. I'm now fearless of sharing what's on my mind. The feeling of being vulnerable is gone. It's empowering! I love that my restored positive energy is back and infectious with my family and strangers ; D I think every woman in every city needs The Practice because it encompasses magical support with a real sense of community, a breathe of fresh air that all woman need in their daily lives. It's like taking a small vacation everyday to make yourself be a better person while being in a supported safe haven to decompress.
