From Survival to Safety: Nervous System Rgulation through Yoga
I’m excited to be offering a new 4-week yoga series focused on understanding and working with the body’s survival responses of Fight, Flight, Freeze/Collapse, and Fawn. Each session will include somatic exercises designed to help students learn how to bring their nervous system into a more balanced state of being.
Each week will focus on one survival response, offering tools and somatic techniques tailored to that specific state. These practices are designed to support greater balance, deepen nervous system awareness, and help participants access a more regulated, ventral vagal state. Through a combination of yoga, somatic practices, journaling and breathwork, individuals will learn practical strategies for upregulating or downregulating their nervous system depending on the focus that week. The series will guide participants in better understanding and working with the body’s survival responses of Fight, Flight, Freeze/Collapse, and Fawn.
Who Is This Class For:
This series is open to all levels of yoga experience and welcomes anyone interested in trauma-informed healing. This group is appropriate for clients who may benefit from trauma-informed, gentle movement; additional regulation skills to complement individual therapy; and psychoeducation delivered through experiential practices. It is also well-suited for individuals who would appreciate a supportive, guided environment focused on safety, embodiment, and nervous system awareness. Clients working on stress regulation, trauma recovery, or embodied coping skills may find this series particularly beneficial.
