A SPACE FOR MOVEMENT, HEALING & DEEP

RELEASE


Your body holds onto everything-stress, emotions, and experiences that your mind has long moved past. Hips & Hearts Yoga isn't just about stretching, it's a soulful, body-led experience designed to help you move through what's been holding you back, so you can feel lighter, freer, and more connected to yourself.


This is Yoga for REAL Life.


You don't need to be “good” at yoga. You don't need a fancy mat, tons of flexibility, or an hour of free time. All you need is YOU. Whether you're stretching from your bed, moving on a mat, or simply breathing deeper than you have all day-this practice meets you exactly where you are.


What to Expect in Dr. Z's Class:


Breathwork for Release - because your nervous system deserves peace.


Hip & Heart Openers - because emotions, tension, and stress sit in these spaces.


A Playlist That Hits - because healing should feel good.


A Safe & Supportive Space - because you deserve to just be.

No pressure. No expectations. Just movement that works FOR you.

I took Dr. Z yoga class on a Saturday morning and it set my day up in the most positive way. I didn't realize that starting my morning with Dr. Z's yoga class would have a lasting effect on my energy, vibe and mental state for the entire day. The class was small and intimate, which I liked because I'm new to yoga and I didn't feel intimidated with a bunch of yogis. Dr. Z was thorough and made small suggestion with my technique, posture and form that made a huge difference. I even broke a sweat! Dr. Z's voice was calm and comforting and her energy was motivating. I'm looking forward to her next class.

I've taken a few yoga classes from a number of yoga teachers working in different styles and her class is by far the best experience I've had. I have an old wrist injury that means I needed to be careful about what I did and Dr. Z helped me modify postures as needed, it was both supportive and challenging. I'd recommend her classes for all levels of practice.

FAQ

  • 1. I’m not flexible. Can I still do this?

    1000% YES. You don’t need to be flexible to do yoga, you do yoga to create more ease in your body. Hips & Hearts Yoga meets you exactly where you are, no matter your experience level.

  • 2. What if I don’t have a yoga mat or enough space?

    No mat? No problem. You can do this practice from your bed, a chair, or even your couch, this isn’t about looking “perfect,” it’s about moving in a way that feels good. If you have room to stretch your arms, you have enough space.

  • 3. What style of yoga is this?

    This isn’t your typical yoga class. Hips & Hearts Yoga is a fusion of Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative yoga, designed to help you release stress, emotions, and tension stored in your body. It’s breathwork, deep stretching, and mindfulness—wrapped up in a playlist that makes the whole experience feel like a vibe.

  • 4. I have a hard time slowing down. Will this be too slow for me?

    If slowing down feels uncomfortable, that’s a sign your nervous system needs this work. This isn’t just about stillness, it’s about moving through what’s stuck. We go at a pace that lets your body and mind breathe, reset, and let go.

  • 5. Do I need any equipment?

    Nope! Just you, a quiet(ish) space, and an open mind. If you have a yoga mat, great—but if not, a soft surface like a carpet, bed, or even a folded blanket works. Grab a pillow if you want extra support.

  • 6. What if I can’t do all the poses?

    That’s totally fine. Every movement has a modification, and you’ll never be pushed beyond your limits. Can’t sit on the floor? We do chair-friendly options. Tight hips? We move slowly. The goal isn’t to push, it’s to release in a way that feels right for you.

  • 7. Will there be music?

    Absolutely. Healing should feel good. Expect soulful, grounding beats—R&B, neo-soul, lo-fi, and tracks that help you move intuitively and breathe deeper.
