THERAPEUTIC YOGA
FOR TRAUMA RECOVERY

6 weeks in person course

Therapeutic yoga helps you to become increasingly flexible—not just in the physical body but in your nervous system. In this 6 weeks course, you learn how to regulate the functioning of your nervous system and vagus nerve with techniques such as altering the rhythm of your breath, practicing mindful body awareness, releasing tension in your Fascia and exploring yoga postures that help you create greater sense of connection and awareness of your true needs.

THE COURSE

A 6-Week Somatic Exploration to Help you Bring your Nervous System into The State of More Balance, Restore Connection, and Cultivate Inner Safety.

In this gentle and empowering 6-week course, we explore trauma recovery through the lens of Polyvagal Theory — a groundbreaking understanding of how our nervous system responds to safety, danger, and connection.

By learning how your autonomic nervous system shapes your daily experience, you’ll develop tools to regulate from within, access a greater sense of safety, and move toward healing with compassion and self-trust.

This is not just a course — it’s an invitation to reconnect with your body, reclaim your resilience, and create pathways for lasting emotional and relational healing.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Nervous system literacy: Understand your body’s automatic responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, shutdown) and how they’ve served you.
Tracking safety cues: Identify what helps you feel grounded and safe — internally and externally.
Somatic and breath-based regulation tools: Learn body-centered practices to shift states gently and sustainably.
Mapping your personal nervous system: Recognize your own triggers and glimmers (moments of safety, joy, and connection).
Rebuilding connection: Explore how co-regulation, boundaries, and attunement support recovery.
Integration and self-compassion: Develop practices to stay present with yourself in challenging moments without judgment.

WHAT IS POLYVAGAL THEORY

Polyvagal Theory is a science-based framework developed by Dr. Stephen Porges that explains how our autonomic nervous system responds to safety, danger, and life threat — shaping how we feel, behave, and connect with others.

At its core, Polyvagal Theory describes how our nervous system constantly scans for cues of safety or threat (a process called neuroception), and how it reacts below our conscious awareness to protect us — sometimes in ways that can feel confusing or overwhelming, especially after trauma.
