From an aerial view- awareness, empathy, compassion & education are essential to empowering self & community. From the ground up, this begins with each of us. Let's honor where we come from, and where we are going... together. In learning more about ourselves, we can better understand how much we have in common with each other and better align with our true nature.
The impact of these practices is personal and support vitality & balanced being. Start where you are, learn the language of your body/mind, and grow from there.
"My wish is that these practices will empower each of us to welcome change, embody strength, explore curiosities, shift in/out of balance with grace, and share what know with those we love and those who challenge us." Tammy {Tamo} Mitchell
Peaceful greetings! As you might have noticed there have been some changes happening with how I "share what I know." For over 18 years I had a nice balance in offering group classes, workshops, retreats, trainings & individual clients on the yearly calendar... and over the past few years that balance has shifted.
Currently I'm focusing on personalized yoga & healing practices with individuals and small groups. I have come to a place in profound gratitude and awe that I can be a guide to others in their practices of movement, awareness, healing, peace, and compassionate understanding. This is the greatest gift.
Public group classes are on pause until further notice. If you'd like to be notified of pop up classes & public immersive/trainings, please text Tamo 3092319642.
Seasons of change + absolute gratitude for:
-the years of shared practice, discipline & training with my beloved teachers & the community.
-the honor to train several of the local teachers that hold space for regular weekly classes in the Peoria area.
-the patience, heart & community support to heal personal injuries while still holding space for others.
-the potential to reach more people by continuing to mentor & teach yoga and healing arts to local community and educators... share what you know!
-the immense support of the community and the beautiful practice space we have in downtown Peoria. WE ARE SO FORTUNATE.
Please take good care of your self and each other... what the world needs NOW is strong peaceful warriors, & I believe we can make our community & this world a better place - TOGETHER! MAY WE GATHER IN STRENGTH & SUPPORT OF ONE ANOTHER. Much Love + TAMO
A note from Tammy Mitchell, Lead Educator/Director, E-RYT® 500, YACEP®, RTT-Thai Healing Arts & Reiki Practitioner
I'm super passionate about learning, teaching & helping through the lens of movement, meditation, collective community & art. My work in healing arts took root in 2005 with immersive studies in Yoga, Reiki & Thai Healing Arts. 2006-2018 I focused immersive studies personalized-therapeutic yoga, taught yoga at local schools, mental/physical health institutions, park districts, co-founded a yoga studio, and continued immersive studies in healing arts. During my time as owner/director at Heading OM Yoga in West Peoria, we united with local & traveling teachers to offer weekly classes, workshops, & training to benefit students and teachers on their path. 2018-present I teach weekly classes & immersive studies, and work with individual clients to help them improve their quality of life through yoga & healing arts at OM on the River Yoga Center.
In my classes you'll experience embodied movement & meditative practices rooted in functional yoga postures, somatic movement, subtle energetic awareness, therapeutic application of yoga, philosophy/dharma & healing arts. Practice themes are seasonally inspired and specialized in foundational hatha yoga, restorative & yin yoga.
I practice and teach awareness, peace, compassion & self-care. I believe awareness, empathy, compassion & education are the keys to empowering individuals to be leaders, and find their voice in promoting a unified vision for our community.
OUR PRACTICE SPACE is beautiful. OUR COMMUNITY is kind. You BELONG here.
The GUEST TEACHERS you see on the schedule are near and dear to my heart and our community. Our roots run deep and our community is vast! Looking forward to seeing you at OM.
