“For six years, Justine has been my yoga teacher, and her classes are where I feel fully supported. She gently encourages me to move in new ways, her seasonal workshops keep me grounded, and she brings warmth, humor, and humanity to every practice. With Justine, it’s more than a class, it’s a community.”

—Margaret M.
"The Holding Practice offers a truly welcoming space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find steadiness. Merrick’s trauma-informed approach weaves together movement and breath in a way that feels both grounding and deeply human. It’s an invitation to come as you are and build a more trusting relationship with yourself."
