Description

Our basic self defense workshop is ideal for all, it will focus on basic responses to high-stress defense scenarios that anyone can use. Our Self-Defense Sunday Workshops are a basic introduction to hand-to-hand defenses and non-lethal weapons. In our interactive 90-minute workshop, we will go over basic strikes and combinations along with non-lethal weapons like stun guns, pepper spray, and pressure point tools. If you've always wanted to take a self-defense class but haven't, this is the opportunity you have been looking for. For the comfort of our attendees, this is a women-only class and we always have a rape crisis advocate on site should anything we be triggering. Be a part of this important and informative class. Register today! Your donations help us keep our Sunday self-defense workshops for the girls and women of our community free of charge. From all us at Out of Harm’s Way, thank you for your continued support. FAQs What kind of COVID precautions are you taking? Masks are required indoors regardless of vaccination status.

Contact us at [email protected] With a new look and a new name, I am looking to combine the paths of Women's Self Defense, Yoga, and Massage. Focusing on these three different ways to embody who you are and how you live and feel in your body. One piece of this is to focus on tackling the epidemic of violence against women and girls. Our mission is to give our communities tools to help prevent attacks and to recover from them. We are a collaboration of Black Belts and victim advocates who have created a unique learning experience. The second piece of Embodied Paths is Trauma-Informed Yoga. Yoga is not just a workout practice. Yoga is a path to get back into your body and heal from trauma. In my yoga classes I try to create a space for you to be you, just as you are right now. The final path is Massage Therapy. True embodied practices include taking care of yourself and I am please to offer both 60-minute and 90-minute massage. All of my offerings are offered on a sliding scale. My intent is that you will find pricing that fits your needs. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
