YOGA FOR HEALING TRAUMA
Healing is a complex and tricky process.
However, science is finally catching up to the understanding of trauma, and how it can get stored in our bodies. Trauma, quite literally, rewires our nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve.
​
The ancient yogis knew this all along and so together we will be exploring these evidence-based techniques and ancient yoga-based practices and how they are applicable to your life here and now, immediately becoming relevant to you.

* I’m not a medical doctor and I am not claiming any kind of cure. This program is simply an offering to share tools and ways of connecting and regulating, practices and modalities I have learned and used in my own healing journey. Please consult your physician or psychotherapist before beginning this practice.
Trauma compromises our ability to engage with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection.

What My Students Say...
Jenna
“I’ve been taking Katarina’s classes for about 3 years. She is a kind and gentle soul that radiates beauty and truth in all her classes. She is incredibly intentional and knowledgeable about yoga and spirituality. She is always learning and sharing that knowledge with her students. Whether it’s her vinyasa or yin classes, she will guide you to what you need, you just need to go inward. I have learned so much and have grown so much as a yogi and a person from her classes. I’m so thankful to have her as a teacher in my life.”
