Why I Switched to Recorded Classes

For many years, my practices lived in live spaces. I taught in studios, owned my own studio, and offered live, online classes. I’ve shared yoga, Reiki, and sound baths in rooms full of people, and through screens with participants tuning in from their homes.

I loved the connection that came with teaching live — the shared experience, the feeling of being held together in real time.

But over time, I started noticing something important: The container I was teaching in didn’t always match how healing actually unfolds - or how many people need to receive it.

Healing Doesn’t Always Happen on a Schedule

My practices taught me early on that the body leads. Some days it’s ready to move. Some days it needs stillness. And some days it needs rest more than anything else.

Live classes require showing up at a specific time, on a specific day, with enough energy and mental space to participate. For some people, that structure is supportive. For others (especially those who are overwhelmed, overstimulated, or simply exhausted), it can become a barrier.

Not everyone has a quiet home, a predictable schedule, or the capacity to be “on” at a set time. Healing doesn’t always fit neatly into calendars.

Recorded classes remove that pressure.

They allow you to practice when your body actually says yes — whether that’s early morning, late at night, or in short, quiet moments throughout the week.

Healing Deepens Through Repetition

One of the biggest things I’ve learned through years of both being a student and a teacher is that healing is cumulative. It’s not about one powerful session. It’s about what happens when the body is met with safety again and again.

Returning to the same practice allows the nervous system to soften more quickly. Familiar rhythms, cues, and frequencies create a sense of trust in the body.

Recorded classes make this kind of repetition possible. You can return to the same practice as often as you need, without feeling like you’re missing out or falling behind.

You’re not repeating the work, you’re deepening it.

Less Performance, More Presence

Live teaching often comes with an unspoken pressure to perform; to fill space, respond quickly, and keep things moving.

Recorded classes give me the freedom to slow down and explore.

They allow me to create from a grounded place, without rushing or over-explaining, and to let silence, sound, and simplicity do their work. That quieter approach feels much more aligned with how I experience healing — subtle, steady, and cumulative.

Why YouTube Made Sense

YouTube became the natural home for this shift.

It’s accessible, familiar, and easy to return to. You don’t need to sign up, remember a password, or commit to a schedule. You can listen once or a hundred times. You can fall asleep during a sound bath, pause midway through, or come back days later.

I’m just getting started, but I upload new recordings weekly, and everything there is currently free. If you’re curious, you can explore my recorded classes on my YouTube channel.

It feels important to me to create a library of practices that people can lean on without pressure or obligation.

Healing doesn’t need to be live to be alive. Sometimes, it just needs to be available.
