Trauma-Informed Yoga
Slow, optional, and nobody touches you.
A somatic practice used alongside therapy for people whose bodies have not felt like safe places to be. Pasadena and telehealth across California.

Not a workout. Not a vibe.
Trauma-informed yoga is a stripped-down somatic practice built around choice rather than shapes. There is no mirror, no adjusting, no cueing you into a pose you did not agree to. The aim is not a better downward dog. It is being in your body for a few minutes without leaving it.
I use it as a complement to therapy, not a replacement for it, and only with people for whom it fits. Plenty of clients never do a minute of it and are perfectly fine.
How It Runs
The Ground Rules
- Everything is an invitation. You can decline any part of it without explaining yourself.
- No hands-on adjustments. Nobody touches you.
- Eyes open is always fine. Closing them is optional, not the goal.
- Choice is the point. Noticing you have one is often the whole session.
- No flexibility, fitness or prior experience required.
