Sometimes the most radical healing choice is not to push through, but to step back.

I’ll see you June 1st. 🌿

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still battling with your health—chronic pain, digestive issues, stress, or brain fog—you’re not alone. Dr. Connie has been there too. After navigating her own battle with lupus and kidney failure, she knows firsthand what it feels like to feel like your body is working against you.

No matter how many treatments you try, the root of the problem can still remain elusive. The truth is, many of us don’t realize that the nervous system holds the key to balancing gut health, immunity, hormones, and mental well-being. When the body is stuck in a constant state of stress, it can’t function properly.

That’s why Dr. Connie created the Functional Yoga Medicine Online Membership—a space where science, movement, and holistic healing come together to offer deep, lasting transformation.

What You’ll Find Inside:

Weekly Yoga & Breathwork Sessions designed to calm the nervous system and restore balance to your body.

Lessons on Gut Health, Stress, and Inflammation because understanding your body is a powerful tool on your healing journey.

A Private Community where you’ll receive support and encouragement every step of the way.

Live Q&As and Masterclasses to help you integrate holistic healing into your everyday life.

Healing isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about learning how to work with your body instead of fighting against it. Dr. Connie, through her own healing journey and decades of experience in functional medicine, physical therapy, and yoga, has uncovered what truly supports long-term wellness. This program is her life’s work—offering you a path to reconnect with your body and experience true healing.

If you’ve been searching for a way to feel like yourself again and finally find answers, this could be the missing piece.

Teacher of the Month: Sofia🌟
My yoga journey began in my early twenties as a way to improve my physical health. What I discovered was so much more—a philosophy that offered deep self-exploration, a stronger connection to my essence, and a path to balance on multiple levels. What started as a workout quickly became a way of life, a powerful tool for mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Yoga has been my anchor through life’s challenges, a guide in my personal growth, and a source of strength and curiosity. It has helped me connect with my inner wisdom, challenge myself, and stay grounded during difficult times. Most profoundly, it prepared me for two of the most transformative experiences of my life—childbirth with my two beautiful children.

After years of practice, study, and personal exploration, I decided to take the next step in 2023 by completing my Yoga Teacher Training. My goal is to share this incredible practice with others, helping them find their own path to balance, resilience, and self-discovery.

I am honored to guide others on their journey, just as yoga has guided me on mine

Student of the Month: Carlos 🌟
Practicing Since January 2019
What began as a New Year’s resolution—and a way to use a company health benefit—quickly turned into a daily ritual for Carlos. Drawn to Functional Yoga Medicine for its early morning classes and expert instruction, he found more than a studio. He found a path to transformation.
“I started yoga to help with serious back pain, and I stayed because it gave me so much more. The 6am classes work perfectly for my schedule, and Hot Core with Christina is now a favorite,” Carlos shares.
Over time, yoga became more than physical healing—it became a mental reset. “Yoga taught me to let go of expectations. You don’t have to be perfect—just show up and breathe. That’s enough.”
For Carlos, the greatest gift of the practice is freedom.
“It quiets the mind. That break from constant thought? That’s real freedom.”

The E.A.S.E. Method combines science-backed principles with mindful movement to heal the root cause of chronic health issues—nervous system dysregulation. By integrating the EASE Method with the R.E.A.L. Framework, we create a holistic path for deep healing.

R.E.A.L. – Reconnect, Embody, Align, Liberate
🔹 Reconnect – Tune into your gut, breath, and ancestral wisdom to regulate your nervous system. A nourished gut microbiome supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and optimizes health.
🔹 Embody – Move beyond intellectualizing health—feel vitality. Use conscious movement and breathwork to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and promoting recovery.
🔹 Align – Sync with natural cycles, circadian rhythms, and purpose. Functional movement optimizes mitochondrial health, enhances cellular function, and builds stress resilience.
🔹 Liberate – Break free from limiting beliefs, trauma conditioning, and subconscious programming. Through mental and emotional mastery, unlock your true health potential.

R.E.A.L. Health = Reconnect + Embody + Align + Liberate → EASE in the body, mind & soul
When combined with the E.A.S.E. Method (Enteric, Autonomic, Somatic, and Empowered Psychology), this approach unites nervous system regulation, epigenetics, and psychosocial healing.

Chronic issues like gut dysfunction, anxiety, and autoimmune conditions often stem from nervous system dysregulation. Healing starts with addressing this root cause—not just the symptoms. The E.A.S.E. Method helps rewire your body’s stress response, restoring peace, energy, and vitality.

At Functional Yoga Medicine, we bridge the gap between traditional medicine and true healing. Through yoga, breathwork, somatic therapy, and functional movement, we activate your body’s natural ability to heal.

“Traditional medicine told me I was broken. I spent years trying to ‘fix’ myself, but what I’ve realized is that the root cause of disease isn’t just in the body—it’s in the mind, spirit, and environment. I had to redefine healing and find my truth.”

This realization came through my journey with lupus, kidney failure, and a spiritual awakening. I discovered that dis-ease is not from one singular cause, but a complex web of genetics, epigenomics, and psycho-somatic behaviors:

Genetics form the health foundation.
Epigenomics reflects how external influences shape gene expression.
Psycho-somatic behaviors are formed by how we internalize experiences.
Effects are the culmination of these influences, determining our health outcomes—whether we experience well-being or chronic dysfunction.
Until we understand all these aspects—body, mind, and spirit—we remain limited by subconscious patterns.

Healing isn’t linear. It’s a constant flow of reflection, discovery, and integration. This is the foundation of the EASE Method, an integrated approach addressing:

Enteric (Gut Health) – The foundation of wellness.
Autonomic (Nervous System) – Moving from fight-or-flight to rest-and-repair.
Somatic (Body Awareness) – Listening to your body’s needs.
Empowered Psychology – Releasing limiting beliefs to heal deeply.
The EASE Method helps you reconnect with your inner healer, offering a holistic approach that goes beyond symptom management. This is why Functional Yoga Medicine is different: it’s about healing from the inside out, addressing the root cause instead of just the symptoms.

Healing isn’t about following a step-by-step plan—it’s about unlocking the wisdom within you. If you’re ready to break free from outdated health models and experience empowered healing, join us.

Living with lupus and enduring a failed kidney transplant has been one of the toughest challenges of my life. Yet, every step of this journey has pushed me closer to my mission with Functional Yoga Medicine. What I’ve learned through my health struggles is the power of self-healing. This experience has shaped my commitment to helping others find balance through holistic health practices, combining Eastern and Western medicine in a way that empowers you to create your own Self Healthcare System.

My work at Functional Yoga Medicine is a reflection of my own healing journey. It’s not just about addressing symptoms; it’s about reconnecting with your body and your innate healing system. I believe true health starts when you Get REAL—Reconnect, Embody, Align, and Liberate. This approach doesn’t just treat the body; it integrates the mind, emotions, and spirit into a cohesive healing process.

The EASE Method—a cornerstone of our practice—was born out of my own need for healing. The EASE framework supports nervous system balance through Enteric, Autonomic, Somatic, and Empowered Psychology practices. It’s designed to help you tap into your body’s natural healing abilities, reduce stress, and heal from the inside out.

Functional Yoga Medicine is different because we integrate holistic therapies that don’t treat the symptoms in isolation; we address the root causes and guide you toward true wellness through personalized care and self-awareness.

This mission isn’t just my work; it’s my life’s calling. I’ve lived it, breathed it, and now I’m here to help YOU find empowerment, healing, and balance in your own journey. At Functional Yoga Medicine, we provide the tools, knowledge, and support you need to reclaim your health, just as I’ve done.

You are capable of healing; let’s take this journey together.

Student of the Month: Lee Pulliam!

Have always wanted the strength and flexibility to go straight into a press headstand at any moment and make it look effortless. Realized CrossFit style training wasn’t going to get me there. Eventually found a YouTube couple named Bre and Flo (bnf.yoga), they opened the door to all that is yoga. Five years later I’m here, continuously practicing and full of gratitude for this studio. Hopes to teach in future when the time is right.

Through teaching, she has discovered that the more she gives, the more she receives, inspiring her to share yoga with others.

One of Marie’s greatest joys is teaching kids’ yoga, where she nurtures positive relationships—both with others and within themselves. She finds it incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and confidence.

Marie is excited to continue her journey and share the transformative power of yoga with the community. Congratulations, Marie!

Healing isn’t linear. It’s not a ‘step-by-step’ process—it’s a constant flow of discovery, reflection, and integration.
We’ve been taught to follow guidelines—whether it’s in medicine, fitness, or even yoga. But what if those guidelines are limiting us from stepping into our authentic healing path?
In Yoga Teacher Training, we explore healing beyond the asanas. We integrate the science of functional medicine and the mysticism of the soul to open up a holistic healing journey.
In my training, you won’t just learn how to teach poses—you’ll learn how to guide others to unlock the wisdom within themselves.
Sometimes, we need to question everything we’ve been taught to truly begin the healing process.

Yoga Teacher Training is the beginning of a journey that is about more than just teaching—it’s about empowering yourself to empower others.
The E.A.S.E. Method is a guide to healing from the inside out. Through this approach, you learn to reconnect with your body, mind, and soul, and start living from a place of authenticity and empowerment.
In my YTT, we combine functional medicine with spirituality to create a holistic healing environment that goes beyond the physical. It’s about creating space for the transformation that happens when we look within, not at a rigid roadmap.
Your yoga practice becomes a journey back to yourself.

02/12/2025

When we look outside ourselves for answers, we are often met with confusion, frustration, and false solutions. The truth is, healing comes from within.
The E.A.S.E. Method teaches us to look inward, to connect with the body’s wisdom, to reawaken the mind-body connection. When we combine the science of physiology with the mysticism of spirit, we open up new pathways for healing that go beyond traditional models.
True healing is embodied. It’s a return to who we truly are, not who we’ve been told to be.
Yoga, when approached with this mindset, becomes a tool for empowerment—not just for your body, but for your soul.

I’ve been where you are

Lupus changed my life. Kidney failure, dialysis, and a failed transplant pushed me to the edge. There were days of fear, uncertainty, and exhaustion—moments where I questioned whether I could keep going. But every step of the journey taught me something profound: healing is possible, even in the darkest times.

This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of holistic healing. It’s about finding meaning in suffering and turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

Through these experiences, I’ve learned that healing isn’t just physical. It’s mental, emotional, and spiritual. It’s about navigating the identity shifts that come with illness, the relationships that change, and the emotional weight that can feel impossible to carry.

I know how it feels to be overwhelmed by the medical system, to feel like you’re losing control of your body, and to wonder if you’ll ever feel whole again. But I also know this: you are stronger than you think.

This journey shaped my philosophy and birthed Functional Yoga Medicine™—a system that combines the wisdom of yoga, the science of functional medicine, the precision of physical therapy, and the empowerment of holistic living. My mission is simple:

✨ To help you not just survive, but thrive.
✨ To guide you through the grey zones of healing—the mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges.
✨ To provide practical, effective tools that empower you to reclaim your health and life.

Your challenges don’t define you—they refine you. Together, we’ll turn pain into purpose, obstacles into opportunities, and survival into thriving. 💪

From Manager to Mentor: Embracing the “Let Them” Theory

Transitioning from managing every detail of my boys’ lives to embracing the “Let Them” theory has been both humbling and enlightening. Allowing them to make their own choices—even when they clash with mine—has revealed their growth into capable, confident young men.

✨ Fashion Choices
Gone are the days of picking their outfits. Now, their unique (and sometimes puzzling) style choices remind me to value their individuality.

✨ The Long Hair Saga
Their commitment to growing out and maintaining their hair taught me to let go of superficial judgments and appreciate their self-expression.

✨ Messy Rooms
A messy room isn’t the end of the world. It’s a sign of independence and a lesson in accountability.

✨ Laundry & Dishes
Resisting the urge to manage their chores was tough, but the pride they show after completing tasks makes it worthwhile.

✨ Dietary Choices
As a dietitian, watching TikTok trends win over my advice was frustrating. But trusting them to learn from their choices has been a valuable exercise in letting go.

Letting my boys make their own decisions and face the consequences has been challenging but rewarding. It’s a daily practice in patience and trust, but seeing their confidence grow makes it all worthwhile.

Self-care is often portrayed as indulgent spa days or cozy nights with a favorite book. While those moments are valuable, true self-care goes much deeper. It’s not just about escaping stress but intentionally designing a life that supports your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Here’s a fresh perspective:

1. Self-Care as Maintenance, Not Reward
Think of self-care as daily maintenance rather than something you earn after burnout. It’s the small, consistent habits—like setting boundaries, nourishing your body, or taking mindful breaks—that keep you running smoothly.

2. Self-Care as Connection
It’s not just about solitude. Self-care includes nurturing connections with others who uplift and inspire you. Community and relationships play a crucial role in emotional health.

3. Self-Care as Growth
Sometimes, self-care is about doing the hard things—having difficult conversations, sticking to your goals, or pushing through discomfort to grow. It’s about aligning your actions with your values and aspirations.

4. Self-Care as Energy Management
Instead of just finding time, think about managing your energy. Prioritize activities that recharge you and say no to what drains you unnecessarily.

5. Self-Care as Empowerment
Ultimately, self-care is about taking ownership of your life. It’s the choices you make every day to create balance, resilience, and a sense of purpose.

Self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategy for thriving.
