SQUISH LAB is open play space for connection, touch, stretch & community. Come alone or bring friends - we will partner/group up as it flows. Choose your own adventure - partner/group stretching games, snuggles, nurturing, & play. We are here to offer suggestions, demonstrate movements, & support your learning & healing process.
SQUISH events take place all over the city (and beyond) in the form of 2-hour workshops, slumber parties, cuddle concerts, camping trips, and weeklong retreats. Lightly supported with concepts from play school, partner yoga, and our own childlike wisdom, in a trauma informed container where everyone is safe to explore self-consent, boundary expression, communication and so much more. This space is so rich! We SQUISH somewhere almost every week, check the calendar(link) to see where we are SQUISHING next.
Emotional Liberation & Release
Do you crave being listened to with a compassionate heart - to be nurtured, counseled & cheered on?
Do you feel chronic holding & pain in your body that needs to be seen & released, but you can't seem to access it, no matter what you do?
Do you suspect there is a deep well of grief, anger, abandonment, creativity, or JOY waiting to be released and you don't know how to access it?
Do you need a huge cry, but you're feeling numb or blocked?
Do you need to be held & cuddled like a baby while you sob & release layers of shame, fear & exhaustion?
Introducing Emotional Liberation & Release Sessions, 1:1 with me
Using tools of the body & our shared intention, we will:
Cocreate safety for your nervous system through coregulation, partner breathing, shared body weight, supported stretching, sharing, space-holding, energetic exchange & cuddles. Often this is plenty to invite the deep opening & emotional release that wants to emerge. Magic! Fireworks! Epiphanies! Psychedelic experiences!
If needed or desired, we can access deeper layers of the psyche/emotional body using tools such as holotropic breathwork, kundalini kriyas, reflexology, yin postures, & trauma release exercises. These tools help activate, invite, draw out the stuck emotions, stories & entanglements.
From here, we let the emotions speak. We let the body express & release. Possibly we investigate, & ask questions. I support this release with intuitively offered physical support/holding, nurturing touch, suggested movement, breath, sound etc.
We finish the session by inviting the nervous system back into its parasympathetic, rest & digest space, through restful integration, continued connection, reflections, verbal or nonverbal communication, and supportive touch.
In the following days, we will connect via phone or text for after-care, checking-in, & continued support.
Client testimonials:
“Perhaps the most profound aspect of my experience was how Rayn's trust and energy work allowed me to unlock buried doors within myself—doors that had been guarding my inner child for so long. With her guidance, I was able to access parts of myself that I had previously kept very protected, leading to an immense sense of release and healing.”
“Rayn helped me through some tumultuous times with her compassionate listening, breathing co-regulation, and genuine connection. She nudged me towards recognizing and requesting the things that I needed from various relationships. At times when I was too stressed and triggered to function she could help me slowly release everything just by breathing with me.”
“What truly sets Rayn apart is her remarkable intuition. She has an innate ability to understand exactly where you need the most care and attention. She listens attentively to your needs and tailors the experience to meet them, ensuring that you leave feeling not only relaxed but also deeply rejuvenated on a spiritual and emotional level.”
Investigating & liberating your emotions could be the key to unlocking your body, your life,& your reality. Contact Rayn at rayn@youryogafriend.com to inquire about your 2-hour individual session(s), 3-day Healing Cave Intensive, or the 4-month Emotional Liberation Mentorship.

Emotional Hygiene
Movement & breath class for all bodies and all levels, to help connect with our emotional bodies through tools of kundalini, hatha & yin yoga, qi gong, & nervous system education.
Feeling good, feeling safe, and thriving in this life all starts with a regulated nervous system. As our reality expands, understanding and cultivating this relationship is becoming more vitally important than ever. The more our nervous system can learn to trust us, the more we can learn to trust it, and in turn, the world around us.
Because this work pushes the limits of participants’ learning & healing edge, I prioritize creating a safe, trauma-informed container where all people feel safe to explore, express, be witnessed, and be held by the community.
After over a decade of living and learning throughout Central America, it is my honor and privilege to share my favorite places with those who wish to transform. Employing my personal connections and intimate knowledge of these places and cultures, I have been bringing seekers together for socially responsible, heart-centered, transformative retreats for more than 6 years. Now I am feeling called to cocreate even more intimate, curated, custom experiences, which I know will yield even more powerful, world-changing results.
You choose the country, the dates, the people, and the budget. We work together to create the most potent and deep experience for your group.
Specializing in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Mexico & the Pacific NW.
