Somatic Yoga Therapy is a gentle approach to helping people heal from traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. The techniques in Somatic Yoga Therapy address the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual elements of healing in a way that respects a person’s need to move slowly, feel safe, and have control over their experience. This class is an excellent supplement for people using other modalities to heal from traumatic stress, including talk therapy. In Somatic Yoga Therapy, you’ll learn simple, practical techniques you can use every day to regulate your nervous system. Through this work, you’ll cultivate resilience that will support you in regulating your nervous system and feeling more integration between your heart, mind, body, and spirit.

Before beginning this 8-week course, you’ll receive a 1-Hour private session where we'll get to know each other and set intentions. Over the 8 weeks, the classes are thoughtfully planned to progress at a pace that is beneficial for the participants. The classes are 90 minutes long, meet once per week, and offered on a sliding scale.

Next session begins January 8 2025.

Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30pm

Cost: Sliding Scale from $230-$400

You'll notice the price has increased a little. This is because I've created a relationship with a local non-profit organization to provide a free spot to one of their high-needs clients. I know you must be curious, but in order to protect the confidentiality of the participant, this is all the information I can give. Thank you for supporting me in expanding the accessibility of this much-needed service.

Blog Highlight: The Window of Tolerance

When people experience traumatic or chronic stress due to adverse events, childhood experiences, unmet attachment needs, or institutionalized racism and sexism, it can be incredibly difficult to maintain a sense of personal safety, control, and calm. Past experiences often prime people’s nervous systems to react disproportionately to the situation at hand because after trauma, essentially, the “on” switch for the stress response becomes very sensitive.
