“In a world that demonizes non-conformity, I found the purest spiritual connection in celebrating my otherness.”
Owning Our Otherness is a yoga, meditation, sound healing, breathwork and mindfulness community created by Jenny Wigham (she/her). My goal as an instructor/facilitator is to make the principles and practices of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, sound healing and body-connected breathwork accessible to every body type and demographic.
To debunk popular beliefs that one can’t do yoga because they aren’t flexible enough, strong enough, patient enough, rich enough, don’t have enough time or are just too awkward.
To help people build a healthy relationship to their body, to become aware of the noise the mind/ego can create, to hold a comfortable space for students to allow themselves to feel either emotions, and explore their internal enviroments towards making peace with what they discover there.
To do my part to use my proximity to priviledge and power to help create sustainable change towards equality for all living beings. And support others in their own social justice journeys. To recongize the philosophies of yoga direct us towards and support the need for social justice work.
To help us realize we're whole just as we are. It's our defense mechanisms, holding patterns, limiting beliefs, embodied traumas and buying into the false stories we allow society and ourselves to impose that need to be let go so that our true light can shine. To help us all be better at being human, by celebrating our sameness and by Own Our Otherness
I am available for hire for public classes, private lessons, retreats, corporate events and building corporate wellness programs.
I am also available for group sound baths or one-on-one sound healing sessions as well as group or one-on-one breathwork journeys.

Note I am subbing this monthly offering for Katie Schiffgen
Register here or drop-in day of.
Frequency, put simply, is the movement of energy. In this experience, we explore moving energy through the body using different modalities including — but not limited to — breathwork, movement, and sound. The types of Breathwork fusion offered are Breath of Love, Alchemy of Breath, and sometimes Kundalini focused breath. The main segment of breathwork is usually done lying down, eyes closed, with music playing. We breathe for an extended period of time (40-60 minutes). This continuous stretch of breathing causes a shift in consciousness, taking one on a deep inner journey. The experience can be different for every person every time. The breath is the guide to bringing exactly what one needs for their healing and awakening!
Breathwork creates the opportunity to utilize conscious, intentional respiration. With this practice, inhales are emphasized and the breathing is done continuously, without pause.
All levels and abilities are welcome as long as you can BREATHE!
Contraindications: If you are pregnant or have seizures (epileptic or otherwise) please DO communicate that to Jenny before class.
