Yoga for Nervous System Regulation
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.

Yoga for Nervous System Regulation
Yoga for Nervous System Regulation
Yoga for Nervous System Regulation
Yoga supports the ability to self-regulate and overall body awareness. When Trauma occurs, it is stored in the body first- talk therapy is incredibly helpful however it is only accessing a part of the lived experience. Trauma stored in the body manifests in different symptoms, and ailments. Somatic experiences like Trauma informed Yoga help integrate this experience and provides tools to self soothe and regulate. Private sessions are held in my private 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.

I am interested in helping students deepen their kinesthetic awareness,
promote ease and efficiency in the body and integrate mind/body functioning. By focusing on the connection of breath and movement, the mind/body relationship, and movement as a form of meditation, we can gain both physical, mental and emotional benefits from the practice of yoga.

I am committed to more opportunities to connect and practice in our local communities, specifically the Redlands / Highland area. My hope is that together, we co-create a safe landing space for our community. A place where we can connect, breathe, and move at a pace that honors you.
It is important to me that this is accessible to all, so these offerings are donation based with no one ever turned away because of lack of funds.
With all going on in our communities and the world at large, we need collective spaces where we can find some sort of refuge and ease.
Feel free to share with anyone who may benefit from this offering.

who i am
My Philosophy
At Embodied Breath Wellness, all my offerings are shared through a trauma informed lense, with the belief that the client has all the tools for their own healing already at their disposal.
I believe that yoga is a holistic practice that can benefit the mind, body, and spirit. I approach yoga as a tool for self-discovery, personal growth, and healing. As a Yoga facilitator I am here to illuminate the light and healing already innate in you by providing a gentle environment and support.
Your Guide
I began my own Yoga journey 12 years ago- encouraged by my therapist- as an embodied support to begin to regulate my overstimulated nervous system. As someone who struggled for years with depression and severe anxiety my body at that time did not feel like a safe space. The healing I found in Yoga has been a transformative journey that brought balance to my mind, body and spirit. I share from a space of felt and learned experience. My certifications include: RYT-500hr, and a Trauma Informed Yoga Guide under the TCYM (Trauma Conscious Yoga Method).
