Class Descriptions
Overworked and Under Stretched
This class is a combination of spiraling movements based on qigong, self massage techniques using a soft foam roller and strengthening moves from Pilates. Appropriate for all levels, this class helps to support active recovery from daily activities, relieves stress and rebalances the nervous system. Your body will have a more relaxed alignment. Over time, regular attendance has provided many participants with overall improvement in chronic pain patterns.
Open and Unwind Yoga
This is an all-levels class in which we will prepare for the week with a gentle practice that helps us identify and address our tight and tired places, while exploring ways to balance, open, and center our bodies.
Powerful Flow Yoga
This is a quick-paced yoga practice where we'll build heat from within, connect breath with movement, and increase strength and flexibility. Sun Salutations are at the core of this yoga practice, balanced by intention setting and light meditation. Open to all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned yogis.
Sound Bath
Sound baths are a whole body listening experience that nurture and ground the mind, body and spirit. Maia creates soundscapes that support deep rest and relaxation using voice, shruti box, crystal bowls, Himalayan bowls, drums, tuning forks and other sound healing instruments. These sounds are an invitation to enter a deeper state of consciousness allowing our brain waves to slow down and shift from an active state to a more calm or dream-like state. In this reflective space, participants can experience clarity of mind and an awakening of creativity and intuition.
Sound baths are generally experienced lying on the floor. You are also welcome to sit if that is more comfortable. Blankets, mats and bolsters are available but feel free to bring an eye mask or anything else that helps you feel at ease.

Spiritual Sundays
It has been scientifically proven that some important aspects of life — longevity, career success, and mental health, to name a few — are enhanced by having a regular spiritual community practice. To most of us, this looks like attending a church, temple, gurdwara, mosque, or other houses of worship and being in community with like-minded believers. This type of spirituality has been an important part of my life, but I’ve also needed to look outside familiar customs.
This class will provide a space to connect with ourselves and each other using Kundalini yoga and meditation to access that same deep tranquility and growth that I have sometimes felt in a more traditional “worship” setting. This is not a religious class, but if you do have a religious/spiritual practice with which you want to connect, you can do that here. You do not need to be religious or have any faith to attend. No doctrine, no religion, no rules — just some movement, meditation, and communing.

Reiki-(pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese form of energy healing.

The practitioner’s hands are placed on a series of locations including the head, front and back of the torso, arms, stomach area, legs, and feet. “Universal Energy” is brought up from the earth through the palms of the practitioner and offered to the recipient. A full session lasts 60 minutes.
Roots PT and Wellness with Dr. Keeli Gailes
Outpatient Physical Therapy for new injuries and chronic conditions as well as post-operative care for abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Some common conditions she treats include TMJD, EDS, plantar fasciitis, and rotator cuff injury/impingement syndrome. Due to limited scheduling availability Dr. Gailes does not often see patients immediately after joint replacement and other major surgery but often sees individuals for “fine-tuning” when insurance or the clinic has decided you are “good enough”.
Pelvic Health Physical Therapy is a specialty that focuses on treating bowel, bladder, and sexual function as well as pain in the pelvic region. Dr. Gailes has practiced in this specialty for years and has received further training from Herman and Wallace in treating these conditions for all genders.
Dry Needling is a technique that uses thin monofilament needles inserted into muscle tissue to “reset” the resting tension of the muscle. It is kind of like how your computer works better after you shut it down then restart it. The muscle contracts, then fully relaxes and this allows for release of the resting tension to decrease spasm and pain as well as help “wake-up” muscles that are not functioning well. To learn more, read this Mayo-Clinic Article.
Wellness Services include a thorough assessment of your current health status and building of a plan to meet your wellness goals. This may include components of personal training and lifestyle medicine/health coaching recommendations including; how to improve sleep, diet, spiritual, mental and physical health, as well as referrals to specialists as needed.
