Coming Home to Yourself
When we experience trauma or prolonged stress, our bodies can feel like unfamiliar, even unsafe places. Trauma-informed yoga gently guides you back into a sense of belonging within yourself, offering a path toward feeling safe, whole, and grounded again. In my classes, I am here to hold space for you as you reconnect with your body at your own pace, with compassion and without judgment.
A Safe, Supportive Space to Heal
This practice is designed for anyone who feels anxious, tense, or disconnected from their body. Whether you’re living with PTSD, managing physical challenges, or simply seeking a space to let go of stress, trauma-informed yoga offers a gentle, mindful approach. In this space, you are encouraged to listen deeply to your body, honoring its signals and moving in ways that feel comforting and reassuring.
Yin Yoga, Gentle Flows, and Somatic Awareness
Through the deep stillness of Yin Yoga, gentle, flowing movements, and somatic practices, I invite you to explore sensations with kindness and curiosity. Yin Yoga’s long, restful holds allow your body to gradually soften, while gentle flows create a sense of fluidity and freedom in movement. Somatic practices encourage awareness of the present moment, helping you tune into your body with compassion and ease.
Reclaiming Safety and Peace Within
In this space, there’s no expectation to be or do anything other than what feels right for you. Trauma-informed yoga is not about achieving perfect poses or pushing past your limits. It’s about reclaiming a sense of safety, trust, and comfort within yourself, however that may look. With each breath, each pose, and each moment of mindfulness, you are gradually rebuilding a loving connection to your body—a place that can feel safe, supported, and truly yours.
If you’re ready to take this journey toward healing and self-acceptance, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover the peace that already lies within you.
“Activation/Deactivation is the core cycle through which our nervous system regulates our inner life. When this cycle is disrupted, the nervous system engages more energy in self-protection, so called “fight & flight”. Without deactivation it will start to attack the immune system, and we will struggle with health issues.“
