What is Trauma informed Yoga?
Trauma informed Yoga is a client centered modality of Yoga in which the guide has gained through knowledge, understanding, and respect the impact of trauma to the body, nervous system, and mind. This modality supports embodiment through asana, breathwork, and meditation guided by a teacher who makes a conscious decision to take this vantage while providing a grounding support system.
Renown Somatic and Trauma expert Dr. Peter Levine shares that when trauma occurs it is not only stored in the mind but also in the body. Emphasizing that profound healing and recovery occurs when the body is invited to integrate these experiences through Somatic based practices such as Yoga.

Yoga for Nervous System Regulation
Yoga is a powerful practice that supports the ability to self-regulate and invites body awareness. When Trauma occurs, it is stored in the body and/or nervous system. Talk therapy is incredibly helpful however it is only accessing one part of the lived experience and may not always make space for the felt sensations and experience of the body.
Trauma stored in the body can manifest in different symptoms, and ailments. Somatic experiences like Trauma informed Yoga support an invitation to integrate these experiences, move through them and invite completion.
Private sessions are held in my home studio in the city of Highland.
Polyvagal Theory
Yoga for Nervous System Regulation
The work and research of
Dr. Stephen Porges informs us of the Vagus nerve's (the key component of our nervous system) connection to trauma. When our nervous system is in a constant state of stress, anxiety and burn out it effects the way we relate to the world and others.
Grounding practices such as Yoga have been shown to improve vagal tone which is supportive of mental and physical health. Through different Yogic practices we work towards supporting the nervous system, strengthening vagal tone. Allowing us to remain open and receptive to the world and those around us in a supportive way. But more importantly creating safety in the body to find a safe landing space within.
Breathwork for Self-Discovery
Events and Workshops in an Embodied Community
Breathwork (Pranayama) are various ancient breathing exercises that involve regulating the breath. Here you are safely guided into a deeper state of consciousness, connecting to your own inner guide to show us what needs to be seen and felt in order to integrate. Connecting to a more supportive, compassionate and embodied self.

Blanca Wright |RYT-500 Trauma Informed
My name is Blanca; I am your Yoga facilitator at Embodied Breath Wellness. I am a 500hr registered Yoga teacher and a certified trauma informed guide. I believe so deeply in the healing and regenerative power of Yoga. As someone who struggled for years with anxiety and depression, I came to Yoga when my mind, body and spirit needed it the most. Through the practice of Yoga, I slowly began to reclaim my body, soothe my nervous system, calm my mind and found a safe landing space within.
I approach yoga as a tool for self-discovery, personal growth, and incremental, profound healing. As I move through life, I have learned that different practices hold us on our healing journey. Yoga is a profound practice that invites integration of the entire SOMA- mind, body and spirit.
