Our Story

Our Roots

The Embody School is a woman-owned wellness and healing studio providing classes and workshops that will empower you on your healing journey by utilizing somatic therapies which are evidence-based.  We teach yoga, TRE, meditation, and mindful art workshops while also providing Somatic Experiencing, Reiki healing, and trauma recovery coaching.


Spiridoula (Spira) first opened as Spira Yoga Shala as a space for  people to come together in community and share practices for self-care and healing. Unfortunately, she opened in March, 2020, right before the Covid pandemic. After a year and a half struggle, she finally had to close the doors in 2021, as Covid showed no end in sight.


With patience, persistence, training, and dedication to her own embodiment practices, Spira is ready to offer these skills (and more) once again at The Embody School.


Our Mission

Our mission is to provide education and evidence-based practices that help people maintain good health, manage symptoms of pain, chronic stress, and trauma while building emotional and physical resilience, habits of self-care, and nervous system regulation. Our goal is to contribute to the health, happiness, and resilience of our community.


There are many fitness yoga studios out there, but that's not us. We focus more on slowing down, which is much harder than turning up the intensity by moving fast or using heat and other external distractions. 


Our core values are Acceptance, Inclusivity, Creativity, Empowerment, Education, Awareness, Community, and Compassion.


Embodiment practices use the body as a tool for healing through self-awareness, mindfulness, connection, self-regulation, finding balance, and creating self-acceptance. Embodiment explores the relationship between our physical being and our energy. It involves the interaction of our body, thoughts, and actions.


What We Teach

Neuroscience-Based Healing

Neuroscience-Based Healing

Neuroscience-Based Healing

When the body is in homeostasis, it has the ability to heal itself as well as prevent illness. However, many people suffer from chronic stress and trauma, which affect the proper functioning of the brain,  nervous system, and many other systems of the body. 


Embodiment practices regulate our nervous systems and get us out of our heads and back into our bodies, where healing takes place.  



Creative Expression

Neuroscience-Based Healing

Neuroscience-Based Healing

My experience as a musician of over 30 years, an arts educator of 17 years, combined with my studies in somatic therapies and psychology for over 10 years has shown me the ways that art can help us heal. 


Expressive arts can help us regulate our nervous systems and even create new neural pathways. Whether you're  resonating with frequencies during a sound bath or participating in bilateral or neurographic drawing,  you don't need to be a trained artist to use these tools. I've designed  workshops to be accessible to all, regardless of skill level. 




Accessibility

Neuroscience-Based Healing

Accessibility

Mind Body medicine is finally making its way into the mainstream and we're here to guide you on your journey. We offer many evidence-based practices that were not always available in the past.  Health professionals are now recommending these practices (including my own PCP!) which gives me confidence that we're heading in the right direction.
