Women live in rhythm. We live in cycles. We heal in circles.
Rather than fighting against this; let’s embrace + embody our innate inner wisdom as the beautiful gift it is.
Return to your inner rhythm.
Summer invites expansion, and this complimentary women’s circle offers space to reconnect with your body’s rhythms.
Learn practices that support regulation and restoration.
Through yoga, mindfulness, somatic exploration, and nervous system regulation, we will gently explore the relationship between stress, hormones, and the female lifecycle.
A place to move, reflect, learn, and gather.
Together, let’s honor the changing seasons within and around us. This summer women’s circle is offered as a gift to the community.
Let’s welcome in the season of expansion together.
Guided by Kayla Copeland, MA, E-RYT500 and Christine Kenline, MA, C-IAYT, this is a space to slow down, reconnect and support your nervous system through the wisdom of the female body.

Women’s bodies move in rhythms. We are not meant to operate in perpetual summer. In this series, we explore embodiment through the lens of inner seasons.
Spring | Renewal + Emergence |
Exploring follicular phases and new beginnings, Energy rises, clarity increases. We explore gentle activation, mobility, and intention-setting for sustainability.Summer | Expression + Strength |
The sun is high during ovulation; you may be feeling more called toward outward expression and confidence. Discover practices that build strength, fluidity, and heart-centered connection.Autumn | Release + Integration |
During luteal phases, sensitivity deepens, discernment sharpens. We practice boundary awareness, slower strength, and emotional integration.Winter | Rest + Restoration |
Instead of fighting against your body’s natural process of letting go through menstruation; we create mindful rituals for slowing down, deep listening, and nervous system repair.Even if you are not menstruating (postpartum, perimenopausal, menopausal, on hormonal birth control), these seasonal archetypes remain powerful maps for understanding your internal rhythms.

This series may be especially supportive if you:
Experience PMS, burnout, or cycle-related mood shifts
Feel disconnected from your body
Tend to override your need for rest
Are navigating transitions (career, motherhood,
relationship shifts, perimenopause)Want a slower, wiser relationship to movement
No prior yoga experience is required.
-
Many women were taught to override their bodies — to push through, perform, and stay productive regardless of internal rhythms.
This series offers something different.
When we honor winter, spring becomes more vibrant.
When we allow fall, summer feels sustainable.
When we listen to our cycles, our lives become more cyclical — and less exhausting.
Embodiment is not about intensity.
It is about intimacy.

Kayla Tahani Copeland, MA, E-RYT-500 is a seasoned professional yoga teacher, holistic associate psychotherapist, and creative practitioner dedicated to helping women come home to their bodies with curiosity, compassion, and presence.
Rooted in nearly two decades of practice and study, Kayla’s teaching blends somatic awareness, mindful movement, and cycle-informed embodiment to support nervous system regulation, hormonal balance, and deep inner listening.
Trained extensively in yoga and mindfulness alongside her graduate-level work in counseling psychology, Kayla believes that movement is not just physical—it’s relational, psychological, and deeply embodied.
In this series, she invites you to experience yoga as a practice of attunement, not performance—meeting yourself season by season, breath by breath.
Her approach is warm, grounded, and trauma-informed, weaving together breathwork, reflective guidance, and movement that honors your lived experience. Whether you are seeking support through hormonal transitions, emotional regulation, or simply a more nurturing way of moving, Kayla holds space with clarity, presence, and compassion.
She is based in Santa Cruz, California and teaches weekly classes and yoga teacher trainings at Pleasure Point Sanctuary.
Christine Kenline
Christine Kenline, MA, C-IAYT, is a Professional Counselor Associate and certified yoga therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She is the founder of Seasons of Self, where she integrates clinical counseling, somatic awareness, and yoga therapy to support women in reconnecting with their cyclical rhythms and inner seasons.
Christine’s work bridges psychological insight with embodied practice, helping women develop a deeper understanding of the nervous system, hormonal cycles, and the emotional landscapes that accompany different phases of the menstrual cycle and lifecycle. Her approach is grounded in the belief that the body holds innate wisdom, and that healing often begins through attunement, presence, and compassionate self-listening.
Drawing from her training in counseling and yoga therapy, Christine weaves together gentle movement, breathwork, reflective inquiry, and psychoeducation to support nervous system regulation and greater internal coherence. She views cyclical awareness as a pathway toward living in greater alignment—where one’s energy, relationships, and environment can support rather than override the body’s natural rhythms.
Christine’s presence is warm, steady, and trauma-informed. She creates spaces that honor the complexity of being human and supports women in returning to themselves with clarity, self-trust, and care.
She is based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she offers counseling, yoga therapy, and cyclical living programs through her practice, Seasons of Self.

Being in a group offers something unique. You’re not doing this work alone. Hearing others share can bring relief, clarity, and the reminder that you’re not “behind” or broken. Being seen and supported by women who are also navigating change can soften isolation, deepen self-compassion, and help you trust your own experience more fully.
This is not a space to fix yourself or rush toward answers. It’s a place to slow down, practice being present, and allow parts of you that may have been quiet, unsure, or hidden to gently come forward. Through reflection, embodied practices, creativity, and shared witnessing, you’ll have the chance to learn from others while staying rooted in your own pace and truth.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to join.
Come as you are.
This is a space for what is still becoming—ready to unfold.

Relational healing in real time: Process groups offer a space where women can safely explore patterns in relationships as they’re happening, not just talk about them - creating deeper awareness, repair, and new ways of connecting
Breaking isolation through shared experience: Hearing “me too” from other women softens shame, normalizes complex emotions, and builds a sense of belonging that can be hard to access alone
Embodied self-expression: These groups invite women to move beyond intellectual insight into felt experience - supporting emotional release, nervous system regulation, and authentic voice
Rewriting internalized roles and expectations: In a supportive collective, women can gently challenge inherited beliefs about who they “should” be and experiment with more aligned ways of showing up
Community as medicine: Consistent, intentional gathering fosters trust, accountability, and a deeper sense of being seen - something many women are deeply longing for
