Find Your Reset

Single Session

Come dance and invite more fun into your life! Dance is a natural way to regulate your nervous system. Move your body to salsa, bachata, cardio hip hop, and free expression, paired with nervous system regulation tools. Learn some new dance moves and reclaim your joy. This class is an invitation to take up space, express fully, and feel into deep joy and self-love. You don't have to be so hard on yourself anymore. Here, you get to play. Class ends with journaling and a healing discussion circle.

Single Session

Our original and most immersive Squat + Reset experience. A 90 minute somatic strength workout where we bring the body into a natural state of activation (fight or flight) with strength exercises and then bring the body down into regulation with nervous system tools. This tool called pendulation helps to release stress, reclaim joy and transform the way you respond to stress. Class begins with a 10 minute guided somatic meditation, followed by a 60 minute somatic strength workout with nervous system tools, inner child work and a joy reclamation dance party, and then concludes with journaling to integrate the shifts, discussion and community building.

Single Session

A shorter, 60 minute version of our Signature Squat + Reset class. Designed for the days when you need a reset, but don't have 90 minutes. This class blends strength training, somatic movement and nervous system rewiring in a rhythmic experience that keeps you moving while staying connected to yourself. Expect moments to slow down, breathe and reset throughout class - with less time spent in reflection like our Signature Squat + Reset class and more time spent flowing in pendulation between movement and recovery. Class ends with journaling, discussion and community building to heal together. Same intention. Different length.

Single Session

A 60 minute restorative and gentle somatic movement and healing session designed to help you release stored tension particularly in the neck, shoulders, jaw and hips to help you unwind after a long day, reconnect back with yourself and reclaim ease and alignment in your life. We will be mostly laying down/sitting for this class. Class ends with journaling, discussion and community building to heal together.

Single Session

This is not your typical pilates class - it's pilates with a nervous system twist. It blends intentional pilates movement with affirmation cards, somatic movement, sound bath healing and journaling to help your body release tension you didn't know you were holding and reconnect back to its' inner wisdom. No performance. No pushing through. Just movement, breath, and restorative sound working together so you can leave stronger, more grounded, and more connected to your mind, body and spirit. Class ends with journaling, discussion and community building to heal together.

Single Session

A somatic yin/restorative yoga class designed to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, the body's natural rest and reconnection state. Many of us stay in a state of disconnection - this is your opportunity to reclaim the reconnection with self you deserve. Through long, deep holds, you'll give your body permission to soften, release tension you've been carrying, and settle into true rest. Led with a trauma-informed approach, this class meets you exactly where you are. Nothing to hold together, no performance, no pushing deeper than what feels honest for your body - just simply listening in to what you need and letting your nervous system settle. Leave feeling lighter, more grounded and rewire your nervous system to see that it is safe to slow down and be with yourself. Class ends with journaling, discussion and community building to heal together.

Single Session

A vinyasa somatic flow class combined with restorative poses, designed to help you move, release, and feel lighter. With more movement than the Restore + Reset class, you will be led through grounding breaths, choice-based exploratory yoga, flows and somatic movement. Your nervous system will learn that it is safe to freely express yourself and exist as you are, no matter what you might be feeling. This class is about tuning into the connection between yourself and the present moment. Meet yourself where your feet are. Leave feeling held, free to exist exactly as you are, clear-minded, and present. Class ends with journaling, discussion and community building to heal together.

You’ve learned how to work hard and push yourself to achieve more. What most of us were never taught is how to respond to stress once the pressure is on - or how to come back down once we’ve been activated.

Squat + Reset is a revolutionary and transformative way to move your body. We combine strength training, somatic movement/nervous system regulation tools, mental wellness, and dance to teach your body something new: that it is safe to hold emotions without being overwhelmed by them, so you can begin living with joy, self-love and self-trust.

​

Through classes that focus on strength training, somatic movement, restorative yoga, pilates, nervous system regulation, and dance, participants learn they can move through life's challenges without losing themselves.

MEET IVY WATTS

Ivy Watts former All American Track & Field athlete and top 30 NCAA Woman of the Year

As a former All-American Track & Field athlete and Top 30 NCAA Woman of the Year Finalist, Ivy knows firsthand what it is like to appear successful on the outside, while struggling internally. For years, she battled anxiety and self-doubt in silence, pushing herself to achieve more without ever being taught how to respond in a healthy way to stress. 

​

Through discovering somatic healing, Ivy's relationship with her mental health and her body finally began to change. With a Master's in Public Health, a degree in psychology, and certification in somatic coaching and fitness training, Ivy built something that she wishes she had when she was an athlete - a space to learn how to feel safe in intensity, release stress and pressure from the body and reconnect with joy and confidence.
