Welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here! At Rising Phoenix Yoga & Healing, my mission is to provide yoga, sound journeys, and wellness in a non-judgmental and supported space. Empowering students to create a life of gratitude, mindfulness, and healing through the exploration of self expression, reflection, and connection. I believe by developing a deeper connection with our bodies we can live a life of healing and self-love, and in doing so, build a deeper connection with others.
Welcome home, to your body, mind, and soul!
My yoga story
Becky started practicing yoga to add variety to her physical fitness regimen but she quickly realized yoga is so much more than physical postures. Showing up on her mat helped her learn to connect with her emotions, ease her anxiety, quiet her mind, and be more present, on and off her mat. It was then when she realized how important it is to develop a self-care practice, not just for physical fitness but also for mental and emotional well being. She started teaching yoga shortly after graduating from her 200 hour teacher training in the spring of 2022. She became a yoga teacher because she’s passionate about helping people develop and/or strengthen their own self-care practice through movement and mindfulness. As her yoga practice and teachings continued, she became aware of the need for deep healing, not just for herself, but also so many others searching for peace and well-being. With this awareness, and the fact that she loves learning, she has received training in a variety of different healing modalities to enhance student’s yoga practices. She holds certificates in Trauma-Informed Yoga, Mindfulness/Mindful Meditation, Sound Healing, Grief Yoga®️, Energy Medicine Yoga®️, and a variety of different yoga styles. She feels by working with our body's energy systems through movement, breath, and sound, we can better communicate with and develop a deeper connection with our bodies.

Inner Peace Yoga-2nd Saturday of every month-10-11am (no class April 12)
During this practice we'll use movement, breath, and sound (vocalization) to release whatever it is we may be struggling with, whether that be anxiety, grief, anger, sadness, or maybe you just want to let off some steam. By allowing our emotions to flow through our bodies and releasing what we need to release, we can free ourselves from what is making us feel stuck, stuck in a looping thought or lifestyle pattern. By releasing our struggle, we make more room for joy, and what makes our soul happy.
60 minutes

Nature's Embrace Meditation & Sound Journey, Sunday, July 13, 10am-12:30pm
Being in nature has so many benefits! Studies have shown that it helps strengthen our mental health, reducing our cortisol levels, heart rate, muscle tension, and overall stress levels. It improves sleep quality and eases inflammation and pain. It can help give us clarity and a fresh perspective by strengthening our mental capacities such as cognition, attention, and focus. It can also help us feel connected, not just with nature but also with each other. It just gives us an overall sense of joy and happiness! 🥰
Join me as we go on a journey of discovery and awareness. We’ll begin with some gentle warm-up stretches, followed by a walking meditation, meandering between the shore of Silver Lake and a lovingly restored prairie, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature. We’ll transition our walking meditation onto a trail through the forest, bringing awareness to the changing environment from open prairie to a tree canopy. We’ll pause along the way, taking in all that nature has to offer. Following our meditation, we’ll gather in an open area at the center of all that we just explored, where we’ll settle in for a Sound Journey, blending the sounds of nature with the soothing sounds of Crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gongs.
I’m so excited to share my love of nature and this experience with you!
*Please bring a yoga mat or blanket to lie or sit on, as well as anything else you desire for your comfort during our warm-up and sound journey, such as a pillow and/or additional blanket, sunscreen, bug spray (just in case). Please remember to bring water!
*Wear good walking/hiking shoes and dress comfortably. Our walking meditation is approximately 1.5-2.0 miles. There are hills and some uneven terrain.
*Our Meditation & Sound Journey experience will last approximately 2 ½ hours, depending on time spent during our walking meditation.
*Cost is $55 and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Jorgens Park Preserve so they can continue to make this space wonderful for everyone to enjoy!

This works to balance the body’s energy systems, activating its natural healing intelligence.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga postures are held for 3-5 minutes and focus on stretching connective tissue such as ligaments, joints, and fascia. Stretching our connective tissue can help with mobility, flexibility, and unblocking our body’s energy centers to allow our energy to flow more freely.

Restorative Yoga postures are held for 5-10 minutes and focus on bringing the body into complete relaxation with the use of props to help support the body. This practice can help with stress relief, lowering anxiety, improved sleep quality, calming the nervous system, and so much more.
