Yoga Therapy in Oakland, CA
Somatic, Trauma-Informed Yoga to Support Healing, Regulation & Embodied Connection
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.
A trauma-informed yoga therapy practice rooted in compassion
With nearly 20 years of experience supporting trauma survivors, sensitive nervous systems, and high-achieving professionals, I bring together somatic therapy, yoga therapy, nervous system science, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help you reconnect with yourself in a gentle and sustainable way.
Sessions may include:
Breathwork tailored to your nervous system
Gentle therapeutic yoga postures
Trauma-informed movement
Somatic tracking and body awareness practices
Mindfulness and grounding tools
Restorative poses to soften overwhelm
Practices that help you build safety, regulation, and connection
Everything is adapted to your body, your pace, and your comfort.
There is no pressure to perform, stretch deeply, or “do it right.”
It’s about learning to listen to your body—not override it.
What becomes possible through yoga therapy
As your body becomes a safer place to live, your emotional landscape shifts too.
Clients often experience:
Reduced anxiety, stress, and chronic tension
More capacity to regulate emotions
A deeper sense of presence and grounding
Healing from trauma held in the body
Stronger boundaries and body-based intuition
Relief from burnout and overwhelm
Greater access to calm, clarity, and steadiness
Yoga therapy helps you return to yourself—gently, intentionally, and in a way that honors your lived experience.
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
Accessible to all bodies
Focused on healing, not performance
Rooted in therapeutic support—not fitness culture
It’s designed for people who feel deeply, carry a lot, and need a gentler, more attuned path back to their bodies.
