Private and Small Group Sessions
Imagine private sessions with in-depth instruction focused on your unique needs. Great for individuals with injuries or health conditions, for friends or teammates who want to learn and have fun together, and for those who can’t join the weekly Bluestem classes. We can focus on myofascial release, or we can combine MFR with yoga, meditation, and/or sound baths. Let us know what you’re looking for!

The Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls are made of a special rubber that grips at your skin, grabs at multiple layers of soft tissue, and rubs out adhesions and tension, providing a deep tissue massage. The tote sets include two massage balls and a mesh drawstring snug-grip tote bag. Colors vary.
The smaller pair can be picked up locally at Bluestem. ($16, choose your color, skip the shipping charge!)
About Sandy
Sandy Beverly is an RYT200 yoga teacher, trail runner, cyclist, and owner of Bluestem Yoga. With great curiosity and respect for the human body, she has completed over 110 hours of continuing ed in anatomy and SMFR (self myofascial release, including "rolling" with therapy tools). She loves the “S” (Self) in SMFR because she wants to empower people to listen to and care for themselves, so they can reduce pain, increase mobility, and improve overall well-being. Her “healthy practices” classes teach self-massage, simple movement, and easy breathwork--for yogis and non-yogis. As a studio owner, Sandy strives to make Bluestem a safe space for exploration and evolution, and her favorite classes involve laughing.
