Meditation, Yoga, and Somatic Expression Teacher
artist, writer, communitarian, mystic
Hi and welcome! I host Kansas City based mindful experiences, click on offerings to see a current calendar of events and look at how we can work together. I am a RYT-200 yoga instructor through Lauren Leduc at True Love Yoga, with a heavy influence from the delightful, local yoga, chanting, and ayurveda guide Laura Frank.
I am currently enrolled in the 300 hour Trauma Sensitive Yoga certification program through The Center for Trauma and Embodiment, with graduation in March of 2027.
about nettie…
I am living and working in the original lands of the Kansa and Osage First Peoples, among others, where the glaciated plains meet the Ozark foothills — at the great watershed of the continent. I root my work in love and equity, through a commitment to relation and dismantling of hierarchy. I am a Spiritual Abolitionist, asking:
what would spirituality, yoga, art, community, and ethics look like if they were organized around liberation
rather than compliance, domination, power dynamics, and punishment?"
Offerings I enjoy are non-dogmatic and persistently curious, value lived experience and meeting people where they are. Containers I enjoy are committed to non-harming, mutual aid, acknowledging tension, with deep listening and space for conversations. I prefer group engagements to have a loose and adaptable structure that is openly disclosed, where all folks present have opportunity to contribute. I require accessibility options to be considered and disclosed. I relish spaces which are trauma-informed, sober and open to all bodies, ages, and backgrounds.
