Yoga Therapy in Oakland, CA

Somatic, Trauma-Informed Yoga to Support Healing, Regulation & Embodied Connection

somatic awareness and self-regulation

When your nervous system feels overwhelmed, your emotions feel too big, or your body holds stories you haven’t had space to process, talk therapy alone can sometimes feel incomplete.

Yoga therapy offers a way to reconnect with yourself through gentle movement, breathwork, mindfulness, and embodied awareness—supporting both emotional healing and physical regulation.

If you’re a trauma survivor, highly sensitive person (HSP), or a mission-driven professional longing to feel more grounded, present, and connected, yoga therapy offers a compassionate path back to yourself.

You’re looking for support that speaks to both your body and your emotions

Many people seek yoga therapy when they’re feeling:

  • Disconnected from their body or intuition

  • Stuck in patterns of stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

  • Chronically tense, shut down, or dysregulated

  • Burnt out from caregiving, work, or emotional labor

  • Ready for embodied healing, but unsure where to begin

You shouldn’t have to navigate these experiences alone.
Your body deserves a space that feels safe, attuned, and grounded.

Why trauma-informed yoga therapy works

Unlike traditional yoga classes, yoga therapy is:

  • Personalized

  • Based on nervous system science

  • Centered on emotional safety and consent
