Shapes without internal awareness don’t create safety. They create performance…

Alignment matters — but only when it’s paired with sensation, breath, and choice✨

Yoga isn’t about how it looks.
It’s about how it lands in the nervous system🧘🏼‍♀️

Your body speaks long before words do🧘🏼‍♀️

“No” can look like tension, numbness, dissociation, holding breath, or rushing.

These aren’t problems to fix — they’re signals to listen to✨

Trauma-informed practice doesn’t override resistance. It learns its language🌸

Trauma-informed yoga isn’t about moving gently. It’s about moving with consent🩷

Choice over compliance.
Pacing over performance.
Agency over appearance.

Gentle can be supportive — but safety comes from autonomy, not softness.

When the body is allowed to choose, regulation becomes possible✨

The Window of Tolerance — Yoga Edition

Not every yoga practice is regulating
and it’s not because someone is “doing it wrong.”

It’s because the nervous system has a window of tolerance.

When we move above the window, the body shifts into fight or flight. This can look like pushing too hard, forcing depth, gripping muscles, holding the breath, or moving too fast.

When we drop below the window, the body moves into shutdown. This can look like zoning out, collapsing into poses, numbing out, or moving on autopilot.

And right in the middle is where yoga actually works.
✨ Steady breath
✨ Sensation without overwhelm
✨ Strength without strain
✨ Choice instead of force

This is the space where learning, healing, and embodiment happen.
Yoga was never meant to override the nervous system. It was meant to work with it.

Somatic yoga doesn’t push people out of their window, it helps them recognize it and slowly expand it over time.
That’s the practice.
Not deeper shapes, but deeper safety.

Many yoga teachers were trained to teach from their minds.
To memorize sequences.
To perfect cues.
To perform calm.

Yet, embodiment doesn’t come from knowing more. It comes from feeling more.

Your nervous system sets the tone of the room long before your first cue.
If you’re rushed, disconnected, or overriding your own signals, your students sense it — even if they can’t name it.

Teaching from the body looks like:
• pacing that allows integration
• cues rooted in sensation
• pauses without apology
• responding to what’s present
• regulating yourself before holding space for others

This isn’t about doing it “right.”
It’s about doing it honestly.
Embodiment isn’t a technique.
It’s a relationship, with your body first. If this resonated, you’re already doing somatic work.
And if you want to deepen it, that’s exactly what we practice inside my somatic trainings.

Somatic yoga training shifts the focus from doing to sensing🌸

You learn how movement, breath, and pacing directly influence the nervous system and emotional regulation✨

Instead of pushing students into shapes, you learn how to guide them into awareness, safety, and choice.

This approach creates deeper trust, resilience, and lasting change — on and off the mat🧘🏼‍♀️

When the nervous system feels safe, the body follows🩷

Somatic yoga isn’t about a sequence, aesthetic, or class label.

It’s the ability to sense, interpret, and respond to internal feedback🩷

That means training:
• interoception (internal sensation)
• proprioception (joint position and movement)
• nervous system regulation

The skill is noticing when tone increases, when breath changes, when effort rises — and adjusting input accordingly🌸

When somatic awareness improves, movement becomes more efficient, safer, and more sustainable🖤

That’s the work✨

My Story

The true question is, when does your story really begin? At birth? 5 years ago? Or 1.5 years ago? Anyway it goes, I am going to start with last August. I had been a nurse for 17 years in the ER mainly, I owned my own home, had 2 beautiful children and had a decent relationship with most people in my life. Yet, I was still unhappy. Even worse, I felt super guilty about being unhappy when I had everything I had ever “wanted”. I was going to Medical School, teaching yoga, received a promotion at work and was just about to run my first successful international yoga retreat.

I asked for assistance, from the Universe. LOL... really. I literally said in my head, if you are real, help me find happiness, and bing an email. It was an email from a coach for retreat leaders. I had my own opinion about coaches, but at that moment vowed to take all of the chances I could get at feeling happy. The session with my coach was very impactful and she asked if I was interested in meeting again. I said yes and we did. The conversation was about sales. When she told me her prices, I panicked. And then laughed. Her cost was the same as my yearly income. Yet, somehow I said yes. I paid her a down payment and immediately my income doubled. Don’t ask me how. I had all of my same bills and her payment. I started to search. For the money, for happiness, for more out of life. AND.... I found it. I paid her in full in less than 3 months, put the balance remaining on my Line of Credit. Yes, with debt. It scared the s**t out of me, but all I knew is that if I kept doing more of what I had been doing, I was going to get more of what I had been getting.

I chose to quit nursing at the end of December and quadrupled my income. No joke. Quadrupled. I quit Med School as well and life has not been the same. I quadrupled my income with yoga alone. Not only that, I have maintained that income and even exceeded it a few times (yes 5-6x). I made the decision to be part of a teacher training in September and loved it so much that I chose to no longer teach yoga to students, except online. So that is what I do. I teach yoga teachers and other spiritual entrepreneurs to run successful businesses, to bring in serious money, to do things differently than they ever have, BUT... that means you need to do things differently. And it’s not cheap or easy or always fun. I am looking for serious people that are serious about changing their lives.
