THE PRACTICE

The Practice is a six-week series integrating yoga, breathwork, writing and art-making to deepen awareness and support meaningful change.

This series is designed for people who already have insight into their inner lives and are ready to work on a more somatic level.

The Practice is grounded in self-directed neuroplasticity—the capacity to observe your internal world with clarity and make consistent, subtle adjustments over time. You’ll learn to track sensation, emotion, thought, and impulse as they arise, and to create new habits of mind that better support who it is you want to be.

We meet weekly, and the work continues between sessions. Participants are expected to engage in daily practice using the tools introduced in The Practice, allowing insight to translate into actual change.

This is a group experience. You’re welcome to share reflections with the group, or to participate quietly. There is no pressure to speak.

No prior yoga or art experience is required.

What people are saying

“With simple tools, lunch hour timing, free access, and an online format, Leda's Healing Arts Hour workshop series provided the rare combination of a highly accessible and deeply meaningful art experience.  She combined visioning exercises with drawing and group reflection, offering a powerful entry point to an introspective art therapy practice and an avenue for connection with other creatives across the state. ”

— Erica Garber

“I want to thank you so much for these workshops and all that you shared with us. Your generosity of spirit was inspiring. I was only able to attend two of the four classes but I got a lot out of each one. The mapping lesson project (9 circles) especially resonated with me. I enjoy working with teens and I think that could be a great project to do with them as they navigate that time when friendships are so complicated and always shifting.”

- Julie Williams

“Thank you so much for this class. I regret having to miss the last three sessions due to work commitments, as I truly loved the content of the healing arts hour and was able to take a deep breath after today's class. “
