Hali Love's Promise To You
“I am dedicated to creating a safe space where you can practice yoga to facilitate deep healing and lasting transformation in your life. While I may not fully comprehend the intricate details and depth of your experiences, through my healing journey and the study of yoga and The 7 Bodies Method, I am committed to establishing and maintaining a safe space during all our interactions. There are no "have to's", no "musts," and no "shoulds." You are safe, heard, seen, and loved in my yoga class. I am dedicated to your healing and committed to guiding you safely, lovingly, and respectfully."
"My retreat with Hali was life changing. My hope in going was to hit the "reset" button after a difficult marriage of 23 years and divorce which left me feeling like a hollow shell. Hali's coaching offered me a safe haven, and an opportunity to gain understanding and acceptance of the many events of my past that have molded my point of view of myself. I learned how my point of view and emotions can empower or limit me. How they also affect my interpretation of a situation, and my decision making abilities." Lori Banks Alberta Canada

Co Facilitator
“My intention is to hold a steady, safe, and compassionate space where your practice becomes a pathway to deeper healing, remembrance, and transformation. I am committed to meeting you with presence, respect, and care. In this space, there are no expectations to fulfil, no right way to be, and no pressure to perform. You are welcome exactly as you are. You are seen, heard, valued, and honored. My role is to support your journey gently and responsibly - offering choice, agency, and loving guidance in every practice. Together, we co-create a space where your healing can unfold at its own pace, with tenderness, safety, and unwavering respect.”
