As the womanhood journey moves into the peri-menopause and menopause phase of the wheel, hormones begin to fluctuate for up to 10 years.

You may be noticing that the training your body once responded to is no longer “working.”

You may notice changes in your body, especially around your abdomen.

This hormonally driven change also includes body composition shifts, rise of cortisol, and a degree of insulin resistance.

What can you do to navigate this change? Work out smarter and shorter! Short intensity interval training, such as Tabata, improves insulin sensitivity, lowers fasting blood sugar levels, reduces hormonal and cortisol induced belly fat, increases endurance and strength, increases lean muscle, and reduces stress.

The goal of Tabata is to dial down the volume of work and dial up the intensity.

Doing a Tabata workout just 1 time a week can result in all the above-mentioned benefits!

What to expect?

• High intensity work for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, and repeat this interval 8 times. After this first set, we rest for a full 3-4 minutes and do it all over again…two more times!

The goal is to get your heart rate approximately 85% of your max. In less than 30 minutes, you get an amazing Tabata workout!

Pair this class with my Strong Woman series to learn how to use your core correctly, incorporate heavy lifting, and notice results within a month’s time.

Be prepared to sweat!

Bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothing.

Barefoot/Grippy socks preferred.

Non-mobile babies welcomed.

Please be advised this class is for mothers at least 12 weeks postpartum who have taken my other series to prepare the core and body for this type of intensity.

9/3, 9/10, 9/17, 9/24

$75 series, $25 drop-in

If registering for Tabata + Bootcamp Use Code TABATA for $5 drop ins

Learn how to safely strengthen your body throughout your womanhood journey.

Whether you have no interest in becoming pregnant, are in the pre-conception stage, are currently pregnant or postpartum, was never pregnant, are postpartum 10+ years, or are entering your wise woman era, this class is for you!

This whole-body corrective exercise based, bootcamp-style program will focus on optimizing the muscles of the inner core (diaphragm, transverse abdominals, and pelvic floor) and mastering muscle activation in basic primal movement patterns such as squats, lunges, bending, twisting, pulling, and pushing.

These types of movements are executed every single day, whether picking up a child, getting out of bed, carrying groceries, opening a car door, mopping the floor, playing your favorite sport, or taking your favorite gym class.

Krista will teach you how to optimally activate your inner core unit through conscious breathing techniques and targeted abdominal exercises. This will strengthen the foundational muscles that provide posture, stability, and balance while building deep, holistic strength in your entire body.

Say goodbye to chronic conditions such as lower back pain, sacro-iliac joint dysfunction, urinary/bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, and sciatic pain.

We will begin our class with breath and core activation. After your core is properly activated and engaged, we will move on to abdominal strengthening and strength circuits utilizing hand weights, bands, and barre balls that will target your lower body and upper body.

We will top off class with a cardio circuit EMOM to build endurance.

Be prepared to breathe, work, sweat, and leave feeling energized and strong!

Please bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothing.

Barefoot/Grippy socks preferred.

Non-mobile babies welcomed!

Please be advised this class is for mothers at least 10 weeks postpartum. Please see Postpartum Reconnect & Restore if you are less than 10 weeks postpartum.

Strong Woman Abs & Upper Body Building:

Foundational Strength & Hormonal Health in ALL Phases of a Woman’s Life

with Krista O'Dea

A Four-Week Series Starting Wednesday 9/3 at 6:15pm

If registering for Tabata + Bootcamp Use Code TABATA for $5 drop ins

As the womanhood journey moves into the peri-menopause and menopause phase of the wheel, hormones begin to fluctuate for up to 10 years.

You may be noticing that the training your body once responded to is no longer “working.”

You may notice changes in your body, especially around your abdomen.

This hormonally driven change also includes body composition shifts, rise of cortisol, and a degree of insulin resistance.

What can you do to navigate this change? Work out smarter and shorter! Short intensity interval training, such as Tabata, improves insulin sensitivity, lowers fasting blood sugar levels, reduces hormonal and cortisol induced belly fat, increases endurance and strength, increases lean muscle, and reduces stress.

The goal of Tabata is to dial down the volume of work and dial up the intensity.

Doing a Tabata workout just 1 time a week can result in all the above-mentioned benefits!

What to expect?

• High intensity work for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, and repeat this interval 8 times. After this first set, we rest for a full 3-4 minutes and do it all over again…two more times!

The goal is to get your heart rate approximately 85% of your max. In less than 30 minutes, you get an amazing Tabata workout!

Pair this class with my Strong Woman series to learn how to use your core correctly, incorporate heavy lifting, and notice results within a month’s time.

Be prepared to sweat!

Bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothing.

Barefoot/Grippy socks preferred.

Non-mobile babies welcomed.

Please be advised this class is for mothers at least 12 weeks postpartum who have taken my other series to prepare the core and body for this type of intensity.

Sound Baths

at EmBodied

First and Last Mondays of the month 

LAST MONDAY: 9/29 at 6:30pm

6:30-7:30pm $30 / soundbath

Space is limited please register in advanced.

A SOUND BATH IS A DEEPLY-IMMERSIVE, FULL-BODY LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT INTENTIONALLY USES SOUND TO INVITE GENTLE YET POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCESSES TO NURTURE THE MIND AND BODY.

Emotional

• Improved mood and emotional intelligence

• Increased optimism, relaxation, and awareness

• Reduced worry, anxiety, and impulsivity

• Enhanced self-esteem and self-acceptance

• Improved resilience against pain and adversity

Physical

• Improved immune system and energy level

• Improved breaking and heart rate

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced inflammatory disorders and asthma

Mental

• Increased mental strength, focus, and productivity

• Increased memory retention and recall

• Improved cognitive skills and creative thinking

This experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits from meditation or a moment of relaxation.  A sound bath is an opportunity to explore what a meditative state is and how it feels.  For this reason, it can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators as well.  The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. 

Sound can bring balance, relaxation and a sense of wholeness to the body.  The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves.  These waves are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.  Sound can also slow down the heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. 

A sound bath provides the participants with a meditative experience without having to know how to meditate. The sounds and methods are used help to influence our brainwaves so they are able to shift from more active states into more introspective, relaxed states. This is called 'entrainment' and the result is that our active mind often overloaded these days with technology and information can begin to unwind; it temporarily presses pause on our current life and also events in the world that contribute to our stress levels. And the vibrations affect our physical body as well, literally moving through our body. This complete immersion in sound can provide us with much-needed perspective and give our body and mind an opportunity to process

Researchers have also found that sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Binaural beats, tones played simultaneously that are close in pitch but not identical, can be found in a sound bath session. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states. 

Studies have shown meditation can lead to all kinds of benefits, such as increasing immune systemfunction, decreasing depression, and improving your ability to regulate your emotions, to name a few. Meditation has also been found to have positive effects on productivity by increasing focus and attention and improving your ability to multitask.

Sound Baths

at EmBodied

First and Last Mondays of the month 

FIRST MONDAY: 9/8 at 6:30pm

6:30-7:30pm $30 / soundbath

Space is limited please register in advanced.

A SOUND BATH IS A DEEPLY-IMMERSIVE, FULL-BODY LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT INTENTIONALLY USES SOUND TO INVITE GENTLE YET POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCESSES TO NURTURE THE MIND AND BODY.

Emotional

• Improved mood and emotional intelligence

• Increased optimism, relaxation, and awareness

• Reduced worry, anxiety, and impulsivity

• Enhanced self-esteem and self-acceptance

• Improved resilience against pain and adversity

Physical

• Improved immune system and energy level

• Improved breaking and heart rate

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced inflammatory disorders and asthma

Mental

• Increased mental strength, focus, and productivity

• Increased memory retention and recall

• Improved cognitive skills and creative thinking

This experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits from meditation or a moment of relaxation.  A sound bath is an opportunity to explore what a meditative state is and how it feels.  For this reason, it can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators as well.  The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. 

Sound can bring balance, relaxation and a sense of wholeness to the body.  The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves.  These waves are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.  Sound can also slow down the heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. 

A sound bath provides the participants with a meditative experience without having to know how to meditate. The sounds and methods are used help to influence our brainwaves so they are able to shift from more active states into more introspective, relaxed states. This is called 'entrainment' and the result is that our active mind often overloaded these days with technology and information can begin to unwind; it temporarily presses pause on our current life and also events in the world that contribute to our stress levels. And the vibrations affect our physical body as well, literally moving through our body. This complete immersion in sound can provide us with much-needed perspective and give our body and mind an opportunity to process

Researchers have also found that sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Binaural beats, tones played simultaneously that are close in pitch but not identical, can be found in a sound bath session. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states. 

Studies have shown meditation can lead to all kinds of benefits, such as increasing immune systemfunction, decreasing depression, and improving your ability to regulate your emotions, to name a few. Meditation has also been found to have positive effects on productivity by increasing focus and attention and improving your ability to multitask.

We will begin our class with breath and core activation. After your core is properly activated and engaged, we will move on to abdominal strengthening and strength circuits utilizing hand weights, bands, and barre balls that will target your lower body and upper body.

We will top off class with a cardio circuit EMOM to build endurance.

Be prepared to breathe, work, sweat, and leave feeling energized and strong!

Prenatal Seasonal Flow: Autumn Preparation September - October 2025

This nurturing prenatal yoga series is designed around autumn's transformative energy, integrating mindfulness practice, breath work, and gentle movements specifically tailored for expecting mothers.

As nature prepares for its seasonal transition, mamas are encouraged to connect deeply with their baby, create space within the body and pelvis, and build strength in preparation for birth.

This class is taught by pelvic floor physical therapist Emily Bessemer, who brings over 10 years of experience in women's health to her practice. Having worked with women of all ages and stages to connect with their pelvic floors, Emily is excited to expand her expertise to include prenatal yoga through EmBodied Physical Therapy, her private practice. Expect this series to be interactive, supportive, and enjoyable as we move through autumn's grounding energy, warming our bodies while continuing to nurture the precious life within.

Through gentle movements that honor the season's reflective nature, we'll focus on creating stability and openness as daylight shifts and nature begins its inward turn.

This practice embraces autumn's wisdom of preparation and gathering, perfect for mamas preparing for their own profound transformation.

Prenatal Yoga is an amazing complement to birth classes and comprehensive birth preparation for the pelvic floor and beyond.

Through gentle movements, mindful core activation, and mobility work for the soft tissues around the hips and pelvis, this practice supports ease and readiness for birth while honoring the sacred journey of pregnancy.

Writing a Birth Plan:

Family Advocacy During Birth & Beyond

with Krista O'Dea

Wednesday 10/12 at 1:00pm

We will begin this workshop with a meditation to set your intentions and gain clarity on how you want your dream birth and postpartum to unfold.

This process helps you align with your desires and determine what is most important to you – your non-negotiables. We will write two birth plans.

One plan will be just for you: incorporating everything you wish for your ultimate birth and postpartum experience.

The second plan will be specifically for your support team: succinct and to the point focusing on your values instead of specific checklists so your team will know exactly how to best nurture and support you when needed.

In this class we will discuss ways to speak to staff, how to respectfully ask for what you want, and other tips to ensure your birth is family centered.

Did you know that dad’s and partners hold the charge at birth? All interventions can be approved or denied through Dad. While you travel into deep altered states to birth your baby, your partner is your best advocate for your non-negotiables. After all, who is ultimately responsible for this new baby once home? Dad’s are an integral part of the birthing process and should be supported in their role.

Bring a pen and journal or your laptop/tablet – however you enjoy transcribing your thoughts.

Sound Baths

at EmBodied

First and Last Mondays of the month 

LAST MONDAY: 10/27 at 6:30pm

6:30-7:30pm $30 / soundbath

Space is limited please register in advanced.

A SOUND BATH IS A DEEPLY-IMMERSIVE, FULL-BODY LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT INTENTIONALLY USES SOUND TO INVITE GENTLE YET POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCESSES TO NURTURE THE MIND AND BODY.

Emotional

• Improved mood and emotional intelligence

• Increased optimism, relaxation, and awareness

• Reduced worry, anxiety, and impulsivity

• Enhanced self-esteem and self-acceptance

• Improved resilience against pain and adversity

Physical

• Improved immune system and energy level

• Improved breaking and heart rate

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced inflammatory disorders and asthma

Mental

• Increased mental strength, focus, and productivity

• Increased memory retention and recall

• Improved cognitive skills and creative thinking

This experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits from meditation or a moment of relaxation.  A sound bath is an opportunity to explore what a meditative state is and how it feels.  For this reason, it can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators as well.  The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. 

Sound can bring balance, relaxation and a sense of wholeness to the body.  The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves.  These waves are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.  Sound can also slow down the heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. 

A sound bath provides the participants with a meditative experience without having to know how to meditate. The sounds and methods are used help to influence our brainwaves so they are able to shift from more active states into more introspective, relaxed states. This is called 'entrainment' and the result is that our active mind often overloaded these days with technology and information can begin to unwind; it temporarily presses pause on our current life and also events in the world that contribute to our stress levels. And the vibrations affect our physical body as well, literally moving through our body. This complete immersion in sound can provide us with much-needed perspective and give our body and mind an opportunity to process

Researchers have also found that sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Binaural beats, tones played simultaneously that are close in pitch but not identical, can be found in a sound bath session. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states. 

Studies have shown meditation can lead to all kinds of benefits, such as increasing immune systemfunction, decreasing depression, and improving your ability to regulate your emotions, to name a few. Meditation has also been found to have positive effects on productivity by increasing focus and attention and improving your ability to multitask.

Strong Woman Abs & Upper Body Building:

Foundational Strength & Hormonal Health in ALL Phases of a Woman’s Life

with Krista O'Dea

A Four-Week Series Starting Tuesday 10/7 at 10:30am

10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28

$75 series, $25 drop-in

Learn how to safely strengthen your body throughout your womanhood journey.

Whether you have no interest in becoming pregnant, are in the pre-conception stage, are currently pregnant or postpartum, was never pregnant, are postpartum 10+ years, or are entering your wise woman era, this class is for you!

This whole-body corrective exercise based, bootcamp-style program will focus on optimizing the muscles of the inner core (diaphragm, transverse abdominals, and pelvic floor) and mastering muscle activation in basic primal movement patterns such as squats, lunges, bending, twisting, pulling, and pushing.

These types of movements are executed every single day, whether picking up a child, getting out of bed, carrying groceries, opening a car door, mopping the floor, playing your favorite sport, or taking your favorite gym class.

Krista will teach you how to optimally activate your inner core unit through conscious breathing techniques and targeted abdominal exercises. This will strengthen the foundational muscles that provide posture, stability, and balance while building deep, holistic strength in your entire body.

Say goodbye to chronic conditions such as lower back pain, sacro-iliac joint dysfunction, urinary/bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, and sciatic pain.

We will begin our class with breath and core activation. After your core is properly activated and engaged, we will move on to abdominal strengthening and strength circuits utilizing hand weights, bands, and barre balls that will target your lower body and upper body.

We will top off class with a cardio circuit EMOM to build endurance.

Be prepared to breathe, work, sweat, and leave feeling energized and strong!

Please bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothing.

Barefoot/Grippy socks preferred.

Non-mobile babies welcomed!

Please be advised this class is for mothers at least 10 weeks postpartum. Please see Postpartum Reconnect & Restore if you are less than 10 weeks postpartum.

Prenatal Seasonal Flow: Winter's Sacred Preparation

This deeply nurturing prenatal yoga series is designed around winter's inward-turning energy, integrating mindfulness practice, breath work, and gentle movements specifically tailored for expecting mothers.

As nature settles into its most contemplative season, mamas are encouraged to connect profoundly with their baby, create sacred space within the body and pelvis, and cultivate inner strength in preparation for birth.

This class is taught by pelvic floor physical therapist Emily Bessemer, who brings over 10 years of experience in women's health to her practice. Having worked with women of all ages and stages to connect with their pelvic floors, Emily is excited to expand her expertise to include prenatal yoga through EmBodied Physical Therapy, her private practice. Expect this series to be interactive, deeply supportive, and warmly nurturing as we move through winter's gathering darkness, creating internal warmth while honoring the precious life growing within.

Through gentle movements that embrace the season's reflective wisdom, we'll focus on building resilience and openness as daylight diminishes and nature models the art of going inward.

This practice honors winter's profound energy of gestation and deep preparation, perfect for mamas approaching their own transformative journey into motherhood.

Prenatal Yoga is an amazing complement to birth classes and comprehensive birth preparation for the pelvic floor and beyond. Through gentle movements, mindful core activation, and mobility work for the soft tissues around the hips and pelvis, this practice supports ease and readiness for birth while honoring the sacred depths of pregnancy's final preparations.

Sound Baths

at EmBodied

First and Last Mondays of the month 

FIRST MONDAY: 11/3 at 6:30pm

6:30-7:30pm $30 / soundbath

Space is limited please register in advanced.

A SOUND BATH IS A DEEPLY-IMMERSIVE, FULL-BODY LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT INTENTIONALLY USES SOUND TO INVITE GENTLE YET POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCESSES TO NURTURE THE MIND AND BODY.

Emotional

• Improved mood and emotional intelligence

• Increased optimism, relaxation, and awareness

• Reduced worry, anxiety, and impulsivity

• Enhanced self-esteem and self-acceptance

• Improved resilience against pain and adversity

Physical

• Improved immune system and energy level

• Improved breaking and heart rate

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced inflammatory disorders and asthma

Mental

• Increased mental strength, focus, and productivity

• Increased memory retention and recall

• Improved cognitive skills and creative thinking

This experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits from meditation or a moment of relaxation.  A sound bath is an opportunity to explore what a meditative state is and how it feels.  For this reason, it can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators as well.  The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. 

Sound can bring balance, relaxation and a sense of wholeness to the body.  The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves.  These waves are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.  Sound can also slow down the heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. 

A sound bath provides the participants with a meditative experience without having to know how to meditate. The sounds and methods are used help to influence our brainwaves so they are able to shift from more active states into more introspective, relaxed states. This is called 'entrainment' and the result is that our active mind often overloaded these days with technology and information can begin to unwind; it temporarily presses pause on our current life and also events in the world that contribute to our stress levels. And the vibrations affect our physical body as well, literally moving through our body. This complete immersion in sound can provide us with much-needed perspective and give our body and mind an opportunity to process

Researchers have also found that sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Binaural beats, tones played simultaneously that are close in pitch but not identical, can be found in a sound bath session. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states. 

Studies have shown meditation can lead to all kinds of benefits, such as increasing immune systemfunction, decreasing depression, and improving your ability to regulate your emotions, to name a few. Meditation has also been found to have positive effects on productivity by increasing focus and attention and improving your ability to multitask.
