Yoga Therapy and Somatic Work

As a Certified Yoga Therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists, I offer yoga therapy in individual, group, and workshop formats. Yoga therapy may be offered as a stand-alone practice or as a complement to psychotherapy, depending on a client’s needs and goals.

Yoga therapy uses movement, breath, meditation, guided imagery, and somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, physical stability, and emotional integration. Rather than focusing on performance or flexibility, the emphasis is on safety, pacing, internal awareness, and choice. Practices are adapted to meet each person where they are and may include gentle movement, restorative postures, yoga nidra, and supported work using the yoga wall and other props.

My work is informed by trauma therapy and by an understanding of how stress and trauma affect the body. I am currently completing the three-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner training, with anticipated graduation in 2026, and I integrate somatic practices beyond yoga to support regulation and healing. My advanced training includes specialized coursework in concussions and PTSD, as well as advanced somatic resolution skills for perinatal trauma.

Yoga therapy is offered in a variety of formats, including:

• Individual one-on-one sessions
• Small therapeutic groups or series
• Workshops focused on regulation, restoration, and embodied awareness

Workshops and group offerings often incorporate yoga nidra, restorative and yin-based practices, and supported movement using the yoga wall. These formats allow participants to explore embodied regulation in a contained, supportive environment while learning tools they can continue to use outside of sessions.

Yoga therapy may be a good fit if you are interested in:

• Reducing stress, anxiety, or chronic tension
• Reconnecting with your body after trauma, injury, or burnout
• Supporting perinatal or postpartum recovery
• Learning practical nervous system regulation tools
• Exploring healing through a body-centered, non-verbal approach

Many clients choose yoga therapy alongside psychotherapy, while others engage in yoga therapy as a stand-alone practice. These sessions are experiential and educational in nature and are not psychotherapy or billed to insurance. They offer a restorative and supportive space to build awareness, regulation, and self-support without the structure or documentation of clinical treatment.

As a Certified Yoga Therapist, C-IAYT, through the International Association of Yoga Therapists, I offer group and individual yoga therapy as a blended and stand alone approach for clients. Yoga therapy is a type of therapy that uses yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery to improve mental and physical health. The holistic focus of yoga therapy encourages the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Modern yoga therapy covers a broad range of therapeutic modalities, incorporating elements from both physical therapy and psychotherapy. As a yoga therapist, I offer group practices that run as a series or yoga therapy for clients wanting to do individual sessions one on one. In addition, I am currently completing a three-year Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) training program, with graduation anticipated in 2026. I integrate somatic practices beyond yoga to support clients in their healing journeys. My advanced training includes specialized coursework in Concussions and PTSD with Dave Berger, SEP, as well as Advanced Somatic Resolution Skills for Perinatal Trauma with Abi Blakeslee and Kate White, SEPs.

Private Yoga And Somatic Therapy

For clients engaged in psychotherapy, somatic and yoga-informed practices may be incorporated into individual therapy sessions when clinically appropriate and aligned with the client’s goals. These practices are integrated within the therapeutic process and are not offered as separate private yoga sessions.
