You cannot heal in a state of survival.

Before processing trauma, the body must learn that the danger has passed. We have to establish safety and stabilization. There’s many ways to do this, but one of them is through the Eight Limbs of Yoga.

The first two limbs of yoga can provide a framework on how to do this. Often, we have to build self-awareness first and exploring yamas and niyamas is an excellent way to this.

As a trauma specialist and yoga teacher, I do use the first two limbs of yoga in this way. I might not always use Sanskrit words, but the concepts and framework are easy to apply and use.

Follow along for more holistic, trauma-informed content or share with someone who this may resonate with.

Make sure to pre-book for the Somatic Yoga Flow at Essence.

This class is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your body, and gently reset your nervous system through mindful, intentional movement. Expect grounding flows, breathwork, and space to move in a way that feels supportive rather than performative.

Whether you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected, or simply craving a softer approach to movement, this class is an invitation to come back home to yourself.

Come as you are. No pressure to push, perform, or be perfect. It’s about creating space to breathe, move, and regulate.

Spots are limited, so be sure to pre-book your place

If you’re hypermobile, chronically stressed, or living in a body that feels reactive…deep stretching isn’t always the answer.

Sometimes your body needs containment.

Somatic flow focuses on controlled, supported, strength-informed movement that helps your joints and nervous system feel stable.

It’s not about going further. It’s about feeling safer. And safety builds resilience. Join me on May 30th at 10am for a somatic flow yoga class that will help you feel more connected, relaxed, and aware.

Somatic yoga flow is a little different from what many people picture when they think about yoga.

Instead of focusing on deep stretches or complex poses, somatic movement invites you to slow down and pay attention to what’s happening inside your body.

The movements are often small, repetitive, and intentional. This helps your brain and nervous system recognize patterns of tension and gradually release them. Over time, the body can relearn how to move with less bracing and more ease.

A somatic flow practice can support:
• nervous system regulation
• reduced chronic tension
• improved mobility through control
• deeper mind–body awareness
• a sense of grounding and calm

It’s less about how it looks and more about how it feels.

✨ This is the intention behind Essence’s Somatic Flow classes. Essence will be hosting its first somatic yoga class on Saturday May 30th at 10am. Link in bio to register!

If I had one minute with you in session, I wouldn’t start with strategies.

I’d start here.

Because most people I work with don’t need more advice, they need a different understanding of themselves. Especially if you’re navigating ADHD, autism, or complex trauma, a lot of what you’ve been told probably hasn’t worked the way it was “supposed” to.

Not because you missed something and not because you didn’t try hard enough. But because those approaches weren’t built with your brain or your nervous system in mind.

Real change doesn’t start with forcing yourself to do better. It starts with understanding what’s actually happening underneath the patterns. From there, everything shifts.

If this felt like something you needed to hear,
save it for later (you’ll probably need the reminder).
