About Maria

Soma Yoga • Gentle Yoga • Breathwork • Guided Meditation

Next Workshop: Saturday, September 26 • 10:00 AM - Noon CST • Live on Zoom

Join me for a nourishing morning of embodied practice designed to help you slow down, come home to your body, and reconnect with yourself.

In this monthly workshop we’ll weave together Soma Yoga, gentle yoga, breathwork, and guided meditation to release held tension, quiet the mind, regulate the nervous system, and create more space for ease, presence, and connection.

This is not about pushing, performing, or perfecting a pose. It is an opportunity to listen inwardly and allow the body to guide the practice. We’ll move slowly and mindfully, explore the breath, notice where we may be holding or bracing, and practice meeting ourselves with Loving Presence.

The workshop is appropriate for all bodies and all levels of experience. You do not need to be flexible or have any previous yoga or meditation experience. Come exactly as you are.

Monthly Schedule:
Our Embodiment Workshop is normally held on the last Saturday of every month at 10:00 AM. Exceptions may occur due to my travel schedule. Check her for upcoming date.

Healing Presence Heals.

A 12-Week Commitment to Yourself, Your Healing, and Your Freedom

Investment: 3 monthly payments of $977

This work requires commitment, emotionally, spiritually, practically, and financially. If private work is not the right investment for you at this time, the Heal What Hurts monthly group offers an accessible way to learn and practice this work in community.

The journey to emotional healing is a commitment. A commitment to yourself. To the process. To becoming willing to turn toward the places that react rather than continuing to organize your life around avoiding them.

Over twelve weeks, we will meet privately once a week and enter into a deep process of embodiment, inquiry, prayer, and Loving Presence.

The patterns that keep us stuck are rarely just thoughts. They can be carried in the body for years, sometimes decades, shaping our relationships, our sense of worth, our health and well-being, and our ability to experience peace, intimacy, purpose, and joy.

We can understand our patterns intellectually and still continue to live them.

Healing asks us to go deeper.

Together, we will begin identifying the stories, protective patterns, emotional triggers, and places of contraction that continue to shape your experience. Rather than trying to think your way out of them, we will learn to meet what is held in the body with Loving Presence.

This is the heart of the work: bringing light and presence into the places we have spent a lifetime trying not to feel.

I draw upon more than thirty years of experience working with the body, consciousness, spiritual practice, yoga, meditation, prayer, intuition, and transformation. Our work is deeply individualized. We follow what is arising in your life and, more importantly, what it reveals about the deeper patterns asking to be seen and released.

This is not psychic prediction or fortune-telling, nor is it a quick fix. It is an invitation into a sustained healing process.

Over the course of our twelve weeks together, you will practice becoming increasingly able to recognize when an old pattern has taken hold, separate the facts of the present moment from the stories of the past, locate the contraction in the body, and remain lovingly present with yourself rather than lashing out, numbing out, or checking out.

As the old contractions begin to soften, something else becomes possible.

• You become less governed by your triggers.

• Less dependent upon the approval and validation of others.

• Less compelled to recreate familiar patterns simply because they are familiar.

• And increasingly solid within yourself.

The goal is not to become someone who never hurts. It is to become someone who knows how to meet what hurts without abandoning yourself. That is emotional sovereignty. That is true freedom.

Your 12-Week Commitment

Your private journey includes:

• One 55-minute private session with me each week for 12 weeks
• Individualized embodiment practices to work with between sessions
• Access to the Heal What Hurts Self-Study Meditation Library
• A sustained private container in which we can follow patterns over time rather than attempting to address a lifetime of conditioning in a single hour

You do not need to fix yourself. But you do have to become willing to meet yourself with love.

Loving Presence Heals.

Release Stress and Tension from Body & Mind

Wednesday, September 16 | 7 PM | Live on Zoom | Donation-Based here / Venmo @Maria-Toso-1

Join me for guided meditation focused on releasing stress and tension from the body and quieting the mind.

Donation-Based

This meditation is offered on a donation basis. Come as you are. If you are not able to meet the minimum donation you can join for free. Meditating matters and makes it all better.

Your Loving Presence Heals.

Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8700407382

We often carry much more in the body than we realize. Stress can show up as tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, a restless mind, difficulty sleeping, or simply the feeling that we can’t quite settle. In this meditation, we’ll slow down and bring our attention inward, noticing where tension is being held and help the body to soften and let go.

Benefits of Meditation Include:

• Less stress and tension

• Better sleep

• Greater focus and mental clarity

• More emotional balance

• A greater sense of calm and well-being

The meditation can be done seated or lying down. It is equally appropriate if you are completely new to meditation or have been practicing for years.

All you need is a quiet place where you can be comfortable and undisturbed for the hour.

Less stress, more grounded & peaceful

Support your team's well-being with live virtual sessions designed to reduce stress, improve focus, and cultivate greater resilience. Each session integrates mindfulness meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), guided meditation, gentle somatic movement, and practical nervous system regulation techniques to help participants release stress and tension held in the body, reconnect with themselves, and return to work feeling more grounded, present, focused, and energized.

Drawing from Maria Toso's Heal What Hurts® methodology, participants learn to recognize and gently release contracted energy held in the body, creating greater ease, presence, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.

Sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of your organization and may focus on stress reduction, emotional resilience, mental clarity, relaxation, nervous system regulation, cultivating healthier responses to workplace stress, and improving overall well-being. No prior experience with yoga or meditation is required, and all practices are accessible to participants of varying abilities.

Each live session is approximately 60 minutes in length and is conducted via Zoom. Sessions include approximately 50 minutes of guided practices, followed by an optional 10-minute period for questions, reflections, and discussion.

Each Session May Include

• Mindfulness meditation

• Pranayama (breathing exercises)

• Guided meditation

• Gentle somatic movement

• Nervous system regulation practices

• Releasing stress, tension, and contracted energy held in the body

• Cultivating calm, focus, resilience, and emotional well-being

A private Vimeo recording of each session will be available within 24 hours and will remain available for streaming or download for one week, allowing participants who miss the live session, or those who wish to revisit the practices, to do so at their convenience.

What Participants Need

Participants are encouraged to join from a quiet, private space where they can comfortably sit or lie down without interruption. A yoga mat, blanket, or comfortable chair is recommended, although no special equipment is required.
