Meet Your Host

Hey there, I’m Sidney!

I know what it’s like to feel stuck in life, and scared to trust the next step.

From a full-time job in software to building a community centered around yoga + wellness, trust me when I say I get it’s hard to take time for YOU.

When corporate life took over MY life, I realized I needed a change. I found refuge in my ability to move.

To move my body, my mind, and move through life with grace for myself and others. I found my passion to create space for others to do the same, for you to trust YOU again.

Whether you are burnt out, searching for purpose + community, or just wanting to outgrow this chapter of your life, trust that there’s a reason you found this page.

I can’t wait to connect with you and step into this next chapter together!
