Embodied Wisdom Coaching is a structured, skills-based coaching method for people who want to feel more grounded, clear, and connected to themselves — especially in turbulent or overwhelming times.

At its heart, this work integrates:

Embodied Wisdom Coaching is part of a larger, integrated system with three complementary pathways:

1. Resilience Skills 
DBT, ACT, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills — practical tools for navigating stress, building steadiness, and responding intentionally rather than reactively.

2. Inner Wisdom 
Meditation and journaling explorations, reflective inquiry, and contemplative practices — experiential supports for slowing down, listening inward, and accessing guidance from the deeper wisdom within.

3. Embodied Practice  
Zenyasa® mindful movement — somatic grounding that supports nervous-system regulation, physical balance, and embodied awareness.  

Most coaching programs fall into Resilience Skills and Inner Wisdom, while Zenyasa® classes complete the ecosystem through Embodied Practice. Coaching programs may be taken à la carte or as part of a semester membership. Memberships offer the most comprehensive and cost-effective way to engage with multiple pathways, while individual programs allow you to focus on a specific area of growth for a given season.

When life becomes fast, uncertain, or emotionally intense, we often drift away from our inner center. We react instead of respond. We spiral instead of see clearly. We lose access to the grounded wisdom we know is somewhere inside.

But when we reconnect with that steadier part of ourselves — everything begins to shift:

Each year is divided into four 12-week coaching semesters — Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter — creating a steady rhythm for learning, practicing, and integrating new skills.

Each semester is divided into two 6-week terms:

Weeks 1–6 → “Term 1”
Weeks 7–12 → “Term 2”

Programs rotate across these two terms so you can join at the beginning of a 6-week cycle, depending on the specific program. Some programs run every semester, while others run every other semester. If you ever need to miss a class, you can watch the replay — or in some programs attend the alternate cohort — creating a compassionate, consistent structure for growth.

Some programs offer two different cohorts each term (an afternoon and evening option), while others meet once weekly. This makes it easier to find a schedule that fits your life. Programs in the Resilience Skills pathway include a dedicated online companion course to help you review the week’s skills before we meet and revisit them afterward. This creates a gentle, steady rhythm for learning, practicing, and integrating new tools.

Zenyasa Wellness draws on two evidence-based, mindfulness-centered approaches to support emotional resilience: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Training (ACT). These programs build practical emotional skills that help you stay grounded, regulated, and steady — even in stressful or uncertain moments.

Through guided meditation, reflective journaling, and compassionate group inquiry, you’ll cultivate presence, emotional steadiness, and a more trusting relationship with yourself.
 
Rather than fixed, one-time courses, Inner Wisdom programs are ongoing practice containers with a rotating thematic focus each term — allowing you to join for a season or return again and again as your practice deepens.

Meditation Explorations — 6 Weeks

Meditation Explorations is a weekly group designed to help you build a steady, embodied relationship with meditation — without pressure to sit for long periods or “do it right.” Each session offers a supportive space to explore short, guided meditation practices and learn how different approaches land in your body and nervous system.  

Classes are structured around brief, accessible practices (10–15 minutes at a time), followed by reflection and discussion. Each session introduces two different techniques, allowing you to compare experiences, ask questions, and develop discernment about what truly supports clarity and steadiness for you.  

Sessions include guided meditation, gentle somatic grounding, and spacious group reflection. Between sessions, you’ll receive brief email notes with simple guidance to support continuity of practice.
