SADDHANA SUPPORT COLLECTIVE
Yoga Membership
ASANA X SPIRITUALITY X JOY
Sadhana
means devoted practice, a quest.
“Sadhana is not just a theoretical study of Yoga. It is a spiritual endeavor.”
– B.K.S. Iyengar
IS IT TIME TO DEEPEN, RE-JUICE, RE-COMMIT TO YOUR YOGA PRACTICE?
Sadhana Support Collective is an online yoga membership for the sincere seeker.
Alignment based, classical, functional asana can empower your life with stability, compassion, and balance at the root level. Combined with affirming philosophy, spirituality, and community connection, your yoga practice can be a refuge – a source of inner strength and guidance.
The Sadhana Support Collective is designed to create easy, consistent access to nourishing yoga practice that meets you where you’re at, and responds to what you need moment by moment.
It’s part yoga school, part online studio, part sangha, part sanctuary for big-hearted weirdos.
It’s experiental and affirming. There’s a variety of ways to help you get on your mat to experience the goodness for yourself, and ways to integrate yoga into your life ‘off the mat.’
It’s a self paced program rich with both functional and mystical depth that can change your life.
Combining sadhana with “support collective” underscores the liberatory, relational understanding that when we engage in our own inner embodiment practices within supportive community, individual and collective healing both are catalyzed, nourished.
These are challenging times. May we be resourced and resilient!
Sadhana Support Collective helps you experience the profound gifts of committed, compassionate yoga practice. You are so worthy of care and support, as you lean into the courageous path of discovering YOUR yoga.
Sadhana Support Collective
If you love embodiment, functional asana, spirituality, queer joy, and need some TLC, this is for YOU!
Have you found that despite loving yoga, you haven’t been able to keep it up as deeply as you want? Do you feel discouraged, like you don’t have capacity, time, or energy? Maybe you’ve been turned off by the racist, classist, cis-het fitness norms in mainstream yoga. Or you keep getting hurt, or aren’t sure how to progress into subtle, more advanced work. Do crave yoga space that doesn’t make you feel (once again) like an outsider?
Sadhana Support Collective warmly welcomes all, while centering queer and trans wellness.

Learn to love your body and be in your body. Know deeply how a tangible source of happiness and peace is inside—and therefore within reach, without any reliance on external conditions or consumption.
Learn about your body, mind, and nervous system to empower feeling better through functional anatomy and asana. Progress in your asana practice through stability, alignment, and skillful depth.
Less pain, more mobility and strength. Inner space, self compassion, awareness. Finally center your own care, learn how to *actually rest,* and know that you are worthy of such nourishment.
Increase your ability to take clear loving action, so you can stop feeling stuck in habitual reaction, pushed around by the world. Learn to trust your path, and let go and move on when needed.
“Avery’s yoga classes leave me feeling grounded, inspired, and at peace in my body.
I’ve been dealing with long covid for about a year, and yoga with Avery has been one of the most important parts of my healing process.
I really don’t know where I’d be without their library of incredible video classes. I feel connected to queer and trans community even when I watch the recordings. Avery’s teachings have helped me be at peace in my body even when I’m in pain and love myself through every part of my healing journey. Thank you for everything you do. So much love!”

We live in an era of super cheap yoga apps, AI and free videos galore. Much of this is tied to big companies selling products or harvesting data in the gross, appropriative multi-billion dollar yoga industry.
Experience the difference…
I offer deeply informed, functional, personalized, accessible, dynamic, real-deal yoga that meets you where you’re at. I provide an alternative to mainstream yoga culture, so that you can deepen in this joyful, fun, healing practice and benefit from its profound potential. With over 2 decades of dedicated study, I have a wealth of practical wisdom and rare teachings that I am so excited to share with you.

FAQ
My timezone/schedule/life means I can’t attend the live sessions. Will this mean I miss out on the good stuff?
I don’t have time to add in much more—so I’m worried I’ll be too busy to show up for all the things and get behind and not make use of the content enough.
In Sadhana Support we are actively creating a culture around releasing FOMO, shame, and perfectionism.
You can tap in when you like . . . sometimes more, sometimes less. Yes, you’ll benefit more when you practice more consistently. But the whole idea of practice is that we ebb and flow. We fall off and get back on. No one is expected to do ALL the things. Like any membership, you aren’t expected to use everything—after all, you aren’t meant to watch ALL the Netflix content or use ALL the gym facilities—you go and use what you like, when you like, as works for you. That’s the beauty of a lifelong yoga practice—it grows with you. And Sadhana Support is designed to help you deepen this long-term relationship.
I’m shy. Do we have to be on camera in the live classes?
I have an injury/chronic condition. Can I still do the classes?
They teach through a comprehensive framework of functional anatomy and a trauma-informed lens. They welcome requests, questions, and check-ins!
Avery can also help you find the best type of class to join. Classes range from very relaxing and restorative to rigorous and challenging!
You’ll be in good hands.
Have a different question? You can get in touch here.
It’s time to stop hoping you’ll randomly start practicing yoga consistently…
…and start taking small, loving steps, that affirm you ARE on an embodied spiritual path, ready to lean into healing and sustainable change.
