Mind Body Yoga

Yoga for gentle, regulation-focused practice designed to support emotional balance, resilience, and reconnection—rooted in the true meaning of yoga as expressed in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, where yoga is defined as “Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah”—the calming and steadying of the fluctuations of the mind. This approach honors yoga as a path of inner stillness, self-awareness, and integration.

Rooted in both classical yoga philosophy and contemporary nervous system science, these sessions weave together breathwork, slow and intentional movement, grounding practices, and guided awareness to gently calm survival responses and restore a felt sense of safety within the body. The aim is not performance, but regulation; not intensity, but steadiness.

There is no pressure to push, perform, or “get it right.” Instead, we move at the pace of your nervous system—prioritizing choice, consent, and internal awareness. Each practice is invitational and adaptable, making it accessible for all bodies and supportive for those navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, trauma, or major life transitions.

Sessions may include:
• Regulating breath practices to support vagal tone
• Slow, mindful movement to release stored tension
• Orienting and grounding exercises
• Gentle somatic inquiry and reflection
• Integration practices to bridge insight with embodied experience

Whether offered individually or in group settings, this nervous system informed yoga complements psychotherapy by shifting healing from purely cognitive understanding into lived, embodied experience. The intention is simple: to create a safe, supportive space where your body can soften, your nervous system can settle, and you can reconnect with yourself from a place of steadiness, clarity, and care.
