Yoga Renewal is not a drop-in class. It is a guided process of embodied renewal.
Rooted in nearly three decades of teaching and advanced somatic study, this series restores foundational patterns of breath, stability, mobility, and integrated strength.
Rather than pushing toward performance or flexibility, We gently unwind compensation patterns & Reconnect to innate movement intelligence — the same organic sequencing seen in infant development and throughout nature’s growth patterns.
Students often experience
reduced chronic pain,
increased stability and confidence,
improved ease transitioning on and off the floor,
deeper breath capacity, and
a felt sense of coming home to their body.
This work is especially supportive for beginners, injury recovery, elderly or special populations, prenatal and postpartum bodies, and those ready for a deeper threshold of renewal.

Starting yoga with Summer has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. When I first stepped onto the mat, I was a complete beginner—unsure of what to expect and a little intimidated. But from the very first class, Summer created a space that felt safe, supportive, and completely judgment-free. Her warmth, patience, and knowledge made it easy to show up exactly as I was. […]

Wrap up theme / move forward in life empowered and renewed
Summer is an exceptional yoga teacher. Going to her classes regularly has had a noticeable positive impact on my physical and mental health. When I started, I had a lot of knee pain and difficulty walking, but she offers several alternatives to beginners and those with limited mobility or range of motion. I was able to strengthen my legs, improve balance, and increase proprioception with the modified movements until I was able to eventually do the poses without assistance. It was such a thrill to feel the changes in my body over a few months, and I know I will continue to improve. […]
