Come as you are.
Leave grounded.
A small-group reset for founders and entrepreneurs.
Groundwork is a three-session, in-person series of breath work, yoga and movement that teaches you to regulate your nervous system, in a room of people running on the same adrenaline you are.
3 sessions over 3 weeks | 90 minutes | Groups of 6 to 10 | Austin, TX
THE PROBLEM
You're running on adrenaline and willpower.
Founders spend most of the day in performance mode: managing how they come across to their team, their investors and their customers. That constant state keeps the nervous system alert, and the intensity of the job leaves no built-in way to come down from it.
OUR SOLUTION
A practice that gets you out of go-mode.
Groundwork is a recurring, in-person series for founders. Each 90-minute session blends yoga, breathwork and functional movement, built to shift your physiology, not just your mindset. You learn to regulate your nervous system, then use the techniques in every room you walk into.
Learn to regulate your nervous system.
Use it to connect with yourself and to lead clearly everywhere else.
WHY IT WORKS
Every breath and movement create a physiological shift.
That shift is what makes showing up as yourself possible. Each session works one of three states.
DOWNREGULATION
Calm
Practices that help you settle, recover and release some of the tension you're carrying.
UPREGULATION
Energize
Techniques that raise alertness and energy, priming your focus and drive without the adrenaline.
FLOW & CREATIVITY
Novel movements that challenge balance and coordination, and mental exercises that get you thinking outside the box.

THE SERIES
Three sessions.
Three weeks.
One arc.
One evening a week for three weeks, in a group of six to ten. Each session leaves you with something to practice before the next.
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for founders and entrepreneurs who are ready to level-up.
Groundwork is for you if:
You're a founder or entrepreneur: solo, early-stage team, or small business owner, whatever the size of the company.
You're stretched thin and need recovery, not another high-energy competition.
You want practices you can actually carry into your week, not a one-off retreat.
Groundwork is not for you if:
You're looking for a networking mixer or a founders' sports league.
You want a workout. There is movement in every session, but the goal is regulation, not fitness.
You need clinical care right now. Groundwork is a wellness practice, not therapy or medical treatment.
Hi, I’m Isha.
WHO’S IN THE ROOM
I'm a movement and wellness coach with over ten years of experience helping people build resilience, manage stress and feel like themselves again through how they move and breathe.
For the past five years I've run corporate wellness programs at companies including PayPal, Adobe and Palo Alto Networks. Along the way I became fascinated by how the body and nervous system respond to sustained pressure, and how much becomes possible once you learn to regulate it.
Working with high performers, I kept seeing the same pattern: people pushing through exhaustion because there's no real space built for them to reset.
Groundwork is what I built to close that gap.
If that sounds like something you need, I'd love to have you in the room.
The first cohort in Austin is coming soon.
Dates go to the list first. Spots are limited to keep the group small enough that it actually works.
Joining the list isn't a payment or a commitment. It's your place in line for when dates and enrollment go live.
Founding cohort rate: $300 for the series.
-
No. Every session is built for people who move less than they'd like to, and every practice has an easier version. If you can sit on the floor and breathe, you're ready.
-
Wear clothing that you are comfortable to move in. Bring a mat if you have your favorite - we will have a few extras on hand. Bring a bottle of water.
-
Six to ten people, and the same people all three weeks. Small enough that the room actually settles.
-
Sessions will be held in Austin, TX, announced to the list with the dates.
-
Decide before enrollment opens.
Options: a written recap and the session's practice by email, or a seat in the same week of the next cohort.
-
No. Groundwork is a movement and breathwork practice. It isn't therapy or medical care, and it isn't a substitute for either. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a clinician first.
-
$300 for the three-session series. Refund and cancellation terms to be decided before enrollment opens.
