The Embody School
About
The Embody School is a woman-owned and LGBTQ+-owned yoga and wellness studio in Cambridge that teaches embodiment practices for health, resilience and healing. Its yoga classes are small, non-heated and focused on breath, alignment and body awareness, taught by experienced, trauma-informed teachers who know students by name. The approach favors slowing down and listening to the body over intensity and performance, and it welcomes beginners and people returning to yoga after years away.
Beyond yoga, the studio offers TRE, meditation and mindful art workshops, along with Somatic Experiencing, Reiki healing and trauma recovery coaching. Its mission is to provide evidence-based practices that help people manage pain, chronic stress and trauma while building self-care habits and nervous system regulation. Founder Spira first opened Spira Yoga Shala in March 2020, just before the pandemic, and closed it in 2021 before returning with The Embody School.
