The end of summer is bittersweet—
But we don’t have to end it bitter. This is an opportunity to come together in celebration of the abundance of summer, with some closure in mind. No experience needed, this is a gathering for anyone interested in marking an end, and setting intention for another season’s beginning.
Hi, I’m Merrick! I am a certified Yoga Therapist, an artist by practice, and a poet and writer when I can find the words. I am many things and so are you, which is part of what makes this practice of being so important!
As a queer and neurodivergent person, I naturally see the world through a creative and curious lens. I'm interested in demystifying Yoga and the body by transforming it into an experience that feels less intimidating, more playful and maybe even sacred— a ritual you can return to over and over again throughout your life.
We recognize that we work and play throughout the unceded territories of the Indigenous Peoples of Alaska.
We acknowledge Anchorage was built upon Dgheyay Kaq’, ancestral territories of the Dena’ina Alaska Native Peoples. We honor their past, present, and future generations by acknowledging the persistence of Indigenous worldviews throughout Alaska, promoting land back, language back, and Indigenous-led causes. We are grateful to those who have held relationship with these lands, waters, plants and creatures for millennia and to whom these spaces, places, and times will forever be homelands.
Inherent Embodiment is committed to the moral obligation to acknowledge, understand, and dismantle colonial practices and systems of oppression, to the benefit of all Alaskans.
