Community Gatherings
Monthly Admin Night with Tavia
A cozy, judgement-free evening to finally tackle your admin tasks with support. Bring your dinner (or order in), gather your bills, budgeting, emails, or computer tasks—anything you’ve been putting off—and settle in with community.
This is a body-doubling, get-stuff-done space where we cheer each other on. If someone has knowledge or resources to help, we share it. Gentle accountability + warm company = your new favorite productivity ritual.
Story Telling Potluck
A nourishing community gathering where food and stories come together. Each potluck has a unique theme and a prompt to inspire reflection and connection. Bring a dish you love (or want to try), and a story sparked by the month’s theme. We’ll share recipes, laughter, lived experiences, and meaningful conversation. A heartwarming space to be fed—body and spirit.

My Yoga Journey
My introduction to yoga began in my teens when my theater teacher led us through what I later discovered was a Yoga Nidra session. It was the night of a big performance, and as a lead in the musical, my nerves were sky-high. That guided relaxation was exactly what my young body, heart, and soul needed.
In my 20s, I explored different yoga styles throughout Kansas City, dipping my toes into various practices. But it wasn’t until my late 20s, after the loss of my father, that yoga truly became essential. The calming breathwork I had learned helped me navigate the depths of grief, offering me both solace and strength. Witnessing firsthand the power of this ancient practice, I threw myself into learning all I could, devouring books and wisdom passed down through generations.
By my 30s, my connection to yoga had deepened immensely, blending movement, breath, and mindfulness into my daily life. When 2020 arrived, I finally took the leap and completed my 200-hour RYT Yoga Teacher Training with Maylo Epperson & Cindy Vanderwiede. Maylo had been my regular yoga teacher for years, sharing with me the teachings of her own mentors. Through her, I immersed myself in Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, and Restorative Yoga. But my curiosity didn’t stop there—I explored the ancient practice of Dinacharya (Ayurvedic self-care routines), the healing principles of Ayurveda, and the many energetic and meditative aspects of yoga.
Yoga Teacher Training was a pivotal moment in my personal and professional growth. I approach this practice with deep respect, recognizing its ancient roots and ensuring my teaching reflects the wisdom, stories, and musical beauty of Sanskrit. My classes are designed to cultivate acceptance—of the self, the body, and the journey each person is on. I integrate energy medicine techniques like tapping and breathwork, offering students tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease. I also love incorporating Sound Healing into all my classes, using vibrations and frequencies to enhance relaxation and healing.
One of my favorite teachings comes from the Buddha: You cannot control the first arrow of suffering, but the second one is optional. Yoga, to me, is about empowerment, self-discovery, and resilience. My mission is to continue seeking universal truths and sharing them with others in a way that honors the tradition, fosters healing, and creates an inclusive space for all.
