Rainey

Rainey believes in the wisdom of the body. Over the years I have learned to listen to my body with reverence and respect for it knows things deeper and wider than my reasoning brain. You can learn to listen to your body too. I believe that we can deepen our presence in the world and in our lives if we hone this capacity for tending the wisdom of our body. I know from my own years of absence that when we show up in and as our body, we are more capable and wise in every sense. I believe we can heal our wounds of body, mind and heart with compassion and presence and a fierce softness.

Rosa Vissers

Rosa Vissers is a clinical and somatic herbalist, movement artist, and mother. Her classes are an invitation to slow down so we can listen, feel, and connect to the wisdom in our cells. She has been teaching yoga and dance since 2004.

She aims to offer a deeply nourishing and well-rounded class, with a combination of movement, breath work, and meditation. Sometimes all happen at once!  Her classes balance precision with curiosity, focus with creativity, and commitment with fun.

Rosa’s approach to yoga is inspired by a lifelong study of contemporary dance and somatics, and teaching yoga in prisons and jails. She sees yoga as a practice that honors the interconnectedness of all beings, and of our mind, body, and spirit.

She holds a BFA and MFA in Modern Dance and has performed internationally for over 20 years. From 2009-2022, she worked in a leadership role with Yoga Behind Bars, including as Executive Director from 2013-2019. She’s a contributing editor and contributor to two Yoga Service Council books.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Rosa has always felt a strong connection to the green world. As a clinical herbalist, she now guides and connects people with the healing power of plants. She offers clinical herbalism sessions, crafts seasonal plant remedies, and leads classes focused on the medicine of the plants all around us.

Rosa loves tending a little urban medicinal plant sanctuary in the heart of Seattle, where she lives with her husband and daughter.

She looks forward to meeting you on or off the mat.
