Family Fun

Family Fun

This is what it actually looks like. Parachutes, bare feet, kids who won't sit still -- and that's exactly the point. Somatic dance designed for the brains and bodies that learn by doing. No choreography, no sitting, no being told you're too much. Just joyful intentional movement in a space built to hold all of it. We shake, spin, stomp, and breathe together. Parents move alongside their kids. Everyone belongs here -- especially the ones who've been told otherwise. All ages. All bodies. All is welcome!


Dance, Play, Connect

Dance, Play, Connect

Somatic dance for families -- expressive, intentional movement designed for kids and grownups to experience together. No right way to do it. No sitting still required. Just music, movement, and a room with enough space for all of it.
We shake, stomp, spin, and breathe. Together!


Every Family Welcome Here

Every Family Welcome Here

This is my favorite kind of room. Different families, different ages, kids who have absolutely no chill -- and nobody needs them to. Candles on the floor, a suitcase full of scarves, and people who just said yes to something a little different on a weekend. That's it. That's the whole thing. Come as you are!


Come Move With Us

Come Move with Us

Bare feet. Balance stones. Kids who show up ready to go -- and we get to be in the room when it happens. Honestly? They're the best teachers!


You step into a room where movement feels like play, connection, and a breath of fresh air all at once! In this somatic dance class in Santa Clara for families, you explore a dance class experience designed for dance for beginners and anyone curious about how to learn dancing through guided, expressive movement.
Balance and proprioceptive play gently help regulate your little nervous systems without anyone even realizing it is happening. Expressive movement sequences invite you in, where there is genuinely no wrong way to move, and music moves through the body, not just the ears. Space to shake, stomp, spin, and land somewhere quieter than where you started gives you permission to release and reset together. Adults move alongside the kids, not just watch, and no sitting still is required -- just show up and let the experience meet you where you are!
By the end, you leave feeling more grounded, more connected, and more at ease in your body, making it one of the most welcoming family activities and things to do in Santa Clara, especially if you are looking for things to do with kids or a gentle dance class that helps you discover how to learn dancing!

Sacred Stories Yoga
Sacred Stories Yoga

female Women-owned

I didn't come to yoga to become a teacher. I came because I was falling apart.
After losing over 90 pounds and crawling out of some genuinely dark years -- trauma, toxic relationships, a nervous system that had forgotten anything other than survival -- yoga was the first thing that actually worked. But the poses were just the beginning. The real shift happened when I found the theology behind the practice. Ancient stories that mapped my own experience back to me with an accuracy that shook me.
So I built Sacred Stories Yoga. Hindu theology woven into accessible practice for regular people. I hold a 200hr YTT, 100hr meditation teacher certification, chakra teacher training, Level 1 and 2 sound healer, and ecstatic dance facilitation certifications. I teach at Jiaren Yoga Studio in Santa Clara and run an online sangha.
Gen X mom of four boys, married to my favorite person, three cats and an 83-pound German Shepherd-Husky mix named after a space cowboy. I study primary texts, get things wrong publicly, and learn out loud.
That's the whole thing!
