Stable Body. Clear Mind. Connected Self.
Embodied Self-Method
Experiential Private Yoga Therapy
A body-based, trauma-sensitive process for finding steadiness, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection within yourself.
You might be here because...
You are holding a lot.
You might be used to pushing through, staying productive, taking care of what needs to be done—and often, taking care of everyone else too.
Rest can feel unaccessible, uncomfortable or even undeserved.
You might feel a persistent low-level hum of anxiety, and a sense of always being “on.” Perhpas your mind can't ever quite settle.
You may have felt more and more disconnected—from your body, from yourself, from what you actually need. Perhpas you feel tired much of the time.
This isn’t a personal failure. It is your nervous system doing its best to protect you in in a society that is focused on disconnection, striving and individualism.
So what you are experiencing is a very natural response to the pace and expectations of modern life—and, for many, the accumulated impact of stress or trauma, whether subtle or more pronounced.
What is the Embodied Self-Method?
The Emodied Self-Method is guided, experiential yoga therapy. Each session will be a practice of supporting your body, mind, and spirit.
The sessions are customized to you, using a unique combination of yoga therapy frameworks along with a modern understanding of the nervous system.
This isn’t just about movement. And it’s not just about working with the mind.
The Embodied Self Method works in three phases:
-
Stability
Regulate your nervous system and feel safe in your body -
Clarity
Understand your mind and shift patterns that keep you stuck -
Connection
Reconnect with your deeper self and something beyond the mind
Each session is a microcosm of this whole process.
How the process unfolds
Each session is something we move through together.
It’s not something you’re sent off to figure out on your own.
It’s experiential.
Every session includes:
-
Movement (asana) — simple, intentional, and adapted to your body
-
Somatic awareness — noticing sensation, tension, and patterns of holding
-
Breathwork (pranayama) — to support regulation and shift states
-
Meditation or awareness-based practice — to build clarity, space, and connection
You’re not just learning techniques. You’re practicing noticing and shifting your state—right there in the session.
This work is for you if…
-
You feel disconnected from your body or unsure how to trust it
-
You’re stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, or overwhelm
-
You’ve tried yoga or therapy, but it hasn’t fully clicked
-
You’re hard on yourself and don’t know how to shift that
-
You want something deeper than surface-level coping strategies
You don’t need to be “good at yoga" or have an experience with it.
You don’t need to fix anything.
You just need a willingness to allow the practices to do their work.
This work is grounded in yoga therapy, somatics, and nervous system science—drawing on practices that have helped people find steadiness and clarity over time, adapted in ways that feel practical and relevant now.
The phases in detail
Steady Body
(Annamaya & Pranamaya Kosha — body and breath)
We begin with the physical body and the breath. This is where regulation happens.
In practice, this looks like:
-
simple, repetitive movement coordinated with breath
-
grounding and orienting practices
-
noticing patterns of tension (jaw, shoulders, belly)
-
sensitizing to internal sensations
-
using breath and pranayama (breathwork) to support a more regulated nervous system
The goal isn’t to relax on command.
It’s to build a body that feels steady enough to be in and can move between system states efficiently.
Clear Mind
(Manomaya & Vijnanamaya Kosha — mind and discernment)
With the body and breath as anchors, we begin to work with the mind.
Not by trying to stop thoughts, but by changing your relationship to them.
In practice, this may include:
-
noticing thought patterns as they arise
-
simple breath-focused or mantra-based meditation
-
sound (bija or other chanting) to stabilize attention
-
creating space between you and your thoughts
This is where the mind begins to settle—not by force, but by support.
Connected Self
(Anandamaya Kosha — ease, connection, awareness)
As the body steadies and the mind begins to settle, something else becomes more noticeable.
Not something new but something that was harder to recognize before.
In the tradition of yoga and Advaita Vedanta (nonduality), there is a simple but powerful idea:
You are not only your body.
You are not only your thoughts.
At your core, there is an aspect of you that is already aware, steady, and whole.
This isn’t something you have to create or become. It becomes clearer when the noise begins to quiet and is available in the present through awareness.
In this work, we don’t try to force that recognition. We support the conditions that make it more accessible.
In practice, this may look like:
-
simple awareness-based meditation
-
resting attention on breath, body, or awareness itself
-
brief moments of stillness where nothing needs to be changed
Sometimes this is described as “polishing the mirror”—not adding anything new, but clearing what obscures what’s already there.
There’s no expectation that this becomes a big or dramatic experience.
More often, it shows up quietly:
a sense of ease
a little more space
a feeling of being less caught in everything
Over time, this internal awareness can become a more familiar and safe place to return to, an ability which is at the heart of the Embodied Self-Method.
What this is not
This isn’t one more thing to manage or keep up with.
There’s no homework, no performance, and nothing you need to get “right.”
This is also not:
-
Talk therapy — we’re not analyzing or diagnosing
-
A typical private yoga class — sessions aren’t random or fitness-focused
-
A quick fix — change happens through experience, not force
