learn and practice with me at these upcoming workshops & classes

January 23-25, 2026 - Kindred Flow Yoga - Wyoming, OH

Phrases like 'somatic healing,' 'vagus nerve,' and 'the body keeps the score' are buzzing right now - but what does this actually mean for you and for the space you hold with others? Join us for a weekend immersion of exploring somatics, trauma, and the nervous system through the lens of yoga and facilitation.

This 15 hour experience is intended for yoga teachers and other guides of movement or bodywork, and is available for Yoga Alliance CEs. Please note, this is about offering you foundational principles, tools, practices, and considerations in the realm of somatics, polyvagal theory, and trauma awareness that you can apply to what you are already trained and certified in. This is not a course about certifying you in somatic trauma work - we will be discussing scope of practice and additional resources for other in-depth certifications.

We will cover:

Polyvagal theory, nervous system states, regulation and dysregulation, and how we can support our own nervous systems and the systems of the folks in our spaces

Somatic awareness and frameworks, practices, and gentle invitations to turn toward the body

Definitions of trauma, how trauma may be showing up in the room, and scope of practice for your aligned work

Practical considerations and applications for creating a supportive environment

Creating a short practice that embodies what you have learned

Join the waitlist for the next round coming soon!

Immerse yourself in a 5-week series intentionally designed to safely explore your emotions, gain practical tools for nervous system regulation, emotional understanding, and somatic processing, and feel deeply supported in nurturing community. Through somatic exploration and experiencing, we invite you into greater connection, peace, and presence with yourself ~ feeling more integrated, whole, and embodied.

This is for female-identifying individuals who are curious to learn more about themselves and their bodies, who desire to learn ways for navigating a range of emotions, who seek to feel more present with life, and who yearn for community along the journey.

Through self reflection, group discussion, and somatic and ritual practices, we will explore themes like safety & presence, anger & fight, pleasure & desire, grief & disappointment, and joy & play.
