ABOUT
Body is a Temple is our approach to 1:1 faith based yoga classes to get you out of your head and back into your body. We bring you back home to your body, mind, and heart through a thoughtful blend of yoga science, movement, and philosophy. Our yoga approach has therapeutic benefits that work to restore mental, physical, and emotional health for deeper inner, outer, and spiritual connection.
Our private 1:1 classes support clients to build greater body awareness, coping and resilience skills, and an overall sense of empowerment. Our work is trauma informed and we specialize in working with clients who experience chronic stress, anxiety, and depression. Clients are encouraged to reconnect with rest, play, and imagination to find a renewed sense of clarity, alignment, and wholesomeness.
Faith based yoga is a practice for embracing stillness for greater peace + balance. When inviting opportunities to stretch into your faith, you make space for deep + long-lasting transformation.
Our in-person service territory covers Southern California. For clients beyond this service territory, we offer remote classes via video-conferencing.

BENEFITS
Yoga means to “yoke” and encourages us to bring mind, body, and Spirit in unison.
When you move your body, you can tap into the sensations that may be long shut off in the emotional body to cultivate more feelings of lightness and ease. It’s these feelings that allow for expansion, creativity, and clarity. Aerobic exercises like yoga increase blood circulation to the brain so that you can shift and enhance your mood from negativity to become more positively influenced. This is because when you move and get that blood flowing, your body will release endorphins to promote more calm and wellbeing.
We connect emotion, sensation, and reflection to release trauma, stress, and tension that is lodged deep within your body.
Yoga utilizes both top-down (focused attention towards thought patterns and behaviors) and bottom-up (incorporating bodily sensations to our experience) approaches to better regulate our nervous system, which fuels the mind and body into action.
Yoga helps to regulate basic bodily functions like digestion, healing, and sleep cycles.
Yoga dispels symptoms of trauma by making you feel more relaxed and physically safe in your body. By drawing attention to feelings in the body, emotional regulation occurs and prevents attempts to ignore what is going on internally.
Yoga is practiced in community – grounding your experience in social contact and support.
Our grace-filled style means you will be met with compassion and curiosity instead of pressure and judgment. We inspire courageousness by instilling a sense of freedom and agency within our clients.

Equity Pricing Guidelines (from the founder):
We understand that the struggles you may face are the result of a complex, nuanced knot of long-held narratives, belief systems, and ideologies that have shaped our experiences and ultimately– how you may come to view yourself. It’s these very narratives and systems that make this statement on pricing of deep importance to reclaiming abundance.
I believe that money is a currency that can be used to create change and I strongly hold the belief that each of my clients must plant a seed of investment into their own growth and transformation. Self-confidence is rooted in the Latin word, confidere, which means fidelity and I ask each of our clients to practice that sense of fidelity to themselves. Because what is inside of you flows and pours out of you.
HOWEVER,
In my nonprofit tenure I worked across communities of color and it was there that I saw and experienced how access to health and wellness programs such as this one are systematically kept out of the hands of those who could benefit most from them. As a woman of color owned business, I hope to eventually reach a point where we are able to offer programs that are heavily subsidized and sliding in scale.
That being said, if any estimated base rates become a barrier to taking the first step in booking a consultation call or booking a class, I encourage you to email me directly at kim@reclaiming-abundance.com so that we can discuss how we can bridge the gap between where you are and where you are going. I believe that we can come together to reach an agreement that is mutually uplifting.
