About us
This group offers a monthly space to explore gentle, science-informed mind-body practices that support stress, anxiety, and nervous system overwhelm. Each session blends Somatic Experiencing®, somatic yoga principles, and applied neuroscience to help you reconnect with your body, steady your mind, and understand your stress responses with more clarity and compassion. The purpose is to provide a calm and supportive environment where you can slow down, regulate, and learn tools that genuinely make a difference in day-to-day life.
Anyone who experiences stress, anxiety, tension, feeling "stuck" in their body, or simply wants a more grounded relationship with themselves is welcome. You don't need any experience with yoga or somatic work — the sessions are gentle, trauma-informed, and accessible to all bodies and all levels of emotional readiness.
These sessions offer a quiet moment of nervous system support in a world that often feels too fast, too demanding, or overwhelming. You'll learn mind-body tools drawn from neuroscience, trauma physiology, and somatic therapy — practices you can take with you into daily life.
