Healing is a process of re-prioritizing, remembering and reconnecting with our Self. Therapeutic yoga for emotional healing and trauma recovery helps us find the sacred space within, to rest, to heal and to grow. Rooted in the therapeutic principles and practices of yoga and informed by modern science, this class offers compassionate and empowering support on the path of healing and growth.

Kerri's approach blends education and practice, weaving together:

• Somatic movement, yoga asana and pranayama (poses and breathwork)

• Trauma-informed principles of safety, choice, empowerment and self-compassion

• Basic principles of nervous system function and Polyvagal Theory

• The framework of the eight limbs of yoga

Traumatic experiences, chronic stress and complex trauma - both personal and inherited - leave lasting imprints on the body, emotions, and nervous system, often resulting in patterns of physical and/or emotional dysregulation that disrupt our sense of well-being. These patterns can show up in a myriad of ways including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, digestive issues, disordered eating, addiction, workaholism, sleep disturbances, feeling disconnected from your body or emotions, difficult or abusive relationships, low self-worth, difficulty setting boundaries, etc.

While a consistent practice can take many forms, at its heart lies the intentional act of creating and entering a sacred space where we can attune to our inner landscape and gradually rewire our nervous system. With regular practice, we release the deeply held patterns of stress and dysregulation that restrict our life force, and create new pathways of coherence, integration and vitality. Within this sacred space, you are always free to choose how to engage, whether through movement, stillness, breath, contemplation, or rest. You are invited to listen inward and respond in ways that feel supportive, nourishing and honor your inner wisdom.
