As a Certified Trauma Yoga Therapist, I use yoga practices tailored to trauma survivors, including movement, meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, somatic exercise, and sound healing. My trauma-informed approach assumes all clients may have experienced trauma, promoting healing rather than triggering. Although not a licensed counselor, I help clients explore body sensations and emotional dysregulation, creating a safe space for holistic healing.

Benefits of yoga therapy for trauma include: 

Fewer PTSD symptoms or trauma responses 

Reduced stress, anxiety, and depression 

Improved mood and sleep quality 

Stronger emotional regulation 

Enhanced concentration and attention 

Increased bodily and mental awareness

Yoga helps individuals engage with counseling and psychotherapy, process trauma, and return to baseline physiological states after distressing triggers. It also provides insight into their bodies and actions. 

Mind–body interventions aim to integrate psychological and emotional processes, treating mental health issues. Techniques such as yoga, mindfulness, and breathing positively influence the autonomic nervous system, aiding emotion regulation. Advances in neuroscience link vagal tone to mental distress, with poly-vagal theory explaining how mind-body techniques regulate internal states affected by trauma.
