Trauma-Informed Yoga & Embodied Healing
Culturally responsive, trauma-informed Yin Yoga designed for survivors of interpersonal trauma — offered in English, Spanish, or bilingually.
What Is Trauma-Informed Yin Yoga?
Trauma-informed yoga is a gentle, body-based practice focused on reconnecting with the self in a safe and empowering environment. I utilize Yin Yoga, a slow-paced style that incorporates long-held floor poses. This practice is specifically chosen for its ability to:
Regulate the Nervous System
Focusing on stillness and breath to move from "fight or flight" to a state of rest.
Cultivate Interoception
Gently building an awareness of internal sensations.
Support Emotional Release
Providing a safe container to process the "felt sense" of trauma stored in the body.
Specialized Experience with Survivors
With years of experience leading yoga groups at the agency level, I specialize in facilitating healing for survivors of:
- •Domestic and Interpersonal Violence
- •Sexual Violence
- •Systemic and Intergenerational Trauma
My approach is rooted in my clinical background as a systemic counselor, ensuring that every session is facilitated with the highest level of psychological safety and cultural humility.
Agency Partnerships & Group Services
I partner with nonprofits and community organizations to bring embodied healing directly to their clients. I offer two primary formats:
Ongoing Weekly Services
Consistent, once-a-week sessions to support long-term recovery and community building.
Pre-Discussed Curriculum
A structured series of sessions (e.g., 6–12 weeks) focused on specific themes such as Reclaiming the Body or Finding Stillness.
Please note: I do not offer individual yoga sessions. All services are currently group-based and in-person.
Logistics & Requirements
To maintain a high standard of care and a truly trauma-sensitive environment, partnering agencies are responsible for providing:
Materials
Yoga mats, blocks, straps, and blankets for all participants.
The Space
A private, quiet room free of mirrors and external distractions to ensure participants feel safe and unobserved during their practice.
Location
I serve organizations throughout Dallas and surrounding areas.
Bilingual Facilitation
As a bilingual practitioner with extensive experience leading Spanish-speaking groups, I provide a rare and vital resource for the Dallas Latinx/e community.
English, Spanish, or Bilingual: Sessions can be conducted entirely in Spanish, English, or a fluid mix of both to meet the linguistic needs of your clients.
Rates & Contact
Partnership rates are determined based on the length of the contract and the specific needs of the organization.
