Curious about self-defense? Looking for accessible, trauma informed information?

Fire + Root Collective has got you; accessible, trauma informed self-defense and yoga; for Women and gender queer folks.

Wherever you fall on the experience scale you will be supported by our extensive background in Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Yoga and Mindfulness. Each class will begin by connecting with our minds and bodies through journaling, meditation and gentle movement while discussing the ways our body responds to stress. We then learn foundations of self defense such as, punches, kicks, fight stance and incorporate those movements into ground defense as well as additional tools for a wide variety of situations. We end each class guiding our bodies back into a restful state (and a little dance party.) Fire + Root classes provide an authentic, safe, supportive and empowering environment for you to thrive and feel confident with your extensive knowledge of self regulation and self defense tools to add into your already amazing tool box.

Please plan to wear clothes that you can move in, bring a yoga mat (if you have access to one,) and grab some water!
