Awaken is a 16 week Somatic Yoga Therapy program that heals your body of anxiety, trauma & depression

Why is this needed?

Let’s face it: our world is moving faster than ever, and so are we. Our physical bodies were never meant to move at this relentless pace, and yet here we are, constantly rushing from one thing to the next. As a human species, we are being wired to speed up when our nervous systems are crying out to slow down. As a result, our nervous systems are being overstimulated, leaving us less equipped to handle life as we once could. When our survival response is activated, it becomes harder to manage the demands of everyday life. This can lead to increased feelings of burnout, overwhelm, and disconnection, often spilling over into our relationships and creating additional strain.

How Are You Compensating?

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably tried quick fixes—grabbing another coffee, endlessly scrolling social media, or zoning out in front of a screen. Maybe you’ve even turned to talk therapy, hit a plateau, or relied on medication. But here’s the truth: these approaches often miss the root cause—a dysregulated nervous system stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode.

Consider this: When was the last time you treated yourself to bodywork, like massage or acupuncture? How often do you take time out of your day to meditate, breathe deeply, or simply experience joy?

If you’re like most people, the answer is probably "not often." And it’s no wonder—the U.S. spends an astonishing $282 billion annually on mental health, yet the rates of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress continue to rise.

The truth is, many of us don’t feel like we even have the time to pause. But this constant state of "go" is precisely what keeps our nervous systems locked in survival mode, perpetuating feelings of unease, exhaustion, and disconnection.

Enter Somatic Yoga Therapy

Somatic Yoga Therapy is an integrative approach that combines the wisdom of yoga with somatic healing techniques to heal the mind, body, and nervous system. Unlike the western world’s view of yoga, which primarily on flexibility or fitness, Somatic Yoga Therapy prioritizes nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and emotional healing.

This approach recognizes that trauma, stress, and anxiety live in the body—not just the mind. By using gentle, intentional movement, breathwork, and meditation, mindfulness, & guided imagery, Somatic Yoga Therapy helps release tension stored in the body and rewires the nervous system for a greater sense of ease.

The Science Behind Somatic Yoga Therapy

The body holds on to stress and trauma at a cellular level. Over time, this stored tension can lead to chronic pain, digestive issues, insomnia, emotional dysregulation, and even mental health challenges like anxiety and depression.

Somatic Yoga Therapy helps you activate your parasympathetic nervous system with targeted techniques- like intentional yoga postures, breathwork, kriya, and meditation, allowing your body to effortlessly release the unconscious patterns that trigger your nervous system into fight, flight, or freeze. Say goodbye to stress and overwhelm—this practice helps you return to a state of calm, balance, and ease.

Do you ever find yourself feeling upset, insecure, or frazzled without knowing why? Often, these feelings are triggered beneath the surface of your awareness. Somatic Yoga Therapy is designed to help you dive deeper into understanding yourself, cultivating a natural sense of safety and resilience. As you move through life’s challenges with greater ease, you’ll notice a powerful shift—less tension, less struggle, and more space for positive emotions like self-compassion, gratitude, and joy. It’s about feeling grounded, empowered, and truly alive every single day. Ready to experience that shift? Let Somatic Yoga Therapy guide you there.

Somatic Yoga Therapy includes techniques like:

• Dynamic Yoga Postures: Movements combined with intentional breath to release tension in key areas like the hips, shoulders, and spine.

• Somatic Release Techniques: Intentional breathwork combined with kriya (pairing the breath with body movements and meditation to move imprints of unresolved issues stuck within your tissues).

• Breathwork: Exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), breath of fire or diaphragmatic breathing to regulate the heart rate and calm the mind.

• Mindfulness: Moving the body with intention and learning to tune into the body’s sensations helps to facilitate greater awareness and healing within the body.

• Morning Ritual: A cornerstone of Somatic Yoga Therapy is a daily morning ritual that combines movement, breathwork, kriya, and/or meditation. It sets the tone for the healing process, enlivening the life force and directing it in an intentional way toward healing and uplifting emotions.

What is included?

Experience 16 weeks of profound nervous system healing and regulation designed to release the unconscious programming and belief systems that keep your body stuck in a survival response. Through a combination of yogic practices, meditation, breathwork, and kriya, you’ll heal from past trauma, anxiety, and depression, allowing your nervous system to reset and regain balance. This group healing journey offers a deep, transformative experience that supports lasting healing, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of peace and vitality.

Weeks 1-4

Grounding & Stabilizing the Nervous System

The first four weeks of your journey focus on grounding and stabilizing your nervous system, laying the foundation for deep healing. Through targeted practices such as breathwork, yoga, and somatic techniques, you’ll learn to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your body. These early weeks are about creating a sense of safety and presence, allowing you to build resilience from within. As you deepen your practice, you’ll notice a shift—greater calm, reduced stress, and an increasing ability to respond to life’s challenges with ease. This foundational phase sets you up for lasting transformation and peace.

Weeks 5-8

Taking Back Your Power

In weeks 5-8, we focus on reclaiming your personal power by activating and healing the solar plexus, or 3rd chakra. This phase is all about releasing the fear, shame, blame, guilt, and unprocessed trauma that are deeply held within the body's tissues, often keeping us stuck in survival mode. Through targeted yoga postures, breathwork, kriya, and meditation focused on the navel center, we’ll work to release these stuck emotions and break free from old patterns that no longer serve you. As your solar plexus is activated, you’ll feel more confident, empowered, and aligned with your authentic self, allowing you to step into life with a renewed sense of clarity, courage, and inner strength.

Weeks 9-12

Healing Your Heart

In weeks 9-12, we focus on healing and activating the heart chakra, inviting in heart-centered practices that promote emotional release and deep healing. This phase is dedicated to addressing old childhood wounds and past emotional traumas that may be stored within the walls of your heart. Through yoga postures, breathwork, and kriya specifically designed to open and heal the heart space, you’ll gently clear emotional blockages and invite love and compassion to flow more freely.

Heart chakra kriyas are powerful sequences of movements, breath, and sound designed to activate and heal the heart center. These practices work by stimulating the energetic pathways of the heart chakra, allowing old wounds to surface and be released. By engaging in heart-centered kriyas, you activate emotional release while promoting harmony and coherence within the body.

Creating heart coherence in the body is essential because it aligns the heart and mind, allowing for a profound sense of balance and peace. Energetically, heart coherence represents the synchronization of the body’s energy system, where the heart’s electromagnetic field connects harmoniously with the brain’s frequencies, creating a state of emotional resilience and inner peace. As taught in Kia Miller’s Radiant Body Yoga, this practice helps to open the heart, fostering a sense of self-love, compassion, and connection with others, while promoting emotional stability and alignment.

By the end of this phase, you’ll feel a greater sense of emotional freedom, self-love, and alignment—your heart fully open and ready to experience life from a space of compassion, joy, and ease.

Weeks 13-16

Conscious Living

Now that we’ve done the deep healing, it’s time to explore the next chapter: how do you live and sustain a heart-centered life, grounded in compassion, empathy, and gratitude? In weeks 13-16, we focus on stabilizing the energy at the heart to create a clear sense of direction and purpose moving forward. This phase is about developing a deep knowing of what’s next for you—who you are, beyond the ungrounded thoughts of anxiety and fear.

Through continued yoga practices, meditation, and heart-centered rituals, you’ll deepen your connection with yourself, building a life aligned with your highest truth. As you stabilize the energy in your heart, you’ll begin to see more clearly, gaining a new perspective on who you truly are. This phase invites you to explore yourself with curiosity, discovering your authentic self through the lens of a radiant heart. With a renewed sense of clarity, you’ll move forward with confidence, living from a place of heart coherence, emotional intelligence, and lasting peace. It’s time to live consciously, with purpose and joy, rooted in your heart’s deepest wisdom.
