⚪The Yoga in Therapy Collective⚪
A Supportive membership space for mental health therapists ready to integrate yoga practices into clinical work with confidence, intention, and clinical integrity.
You already know talk therapy has its limits.
Even the most skilled, thoughtful talk therapy can reach a point where insight alone isn’t enough.
You’ve seen it in session—clients talk, process, analyze… yet something still feels stuck.
Because words don’t always reach what’s held in the body or shaped by the nervous system.
Healing deepens when the body and nervous system are part of the therapeutic conversation.
That’s what led you toward yoga-informed and somatic practices—to support regulation, embodiment, and change beyond words alone.
But knowing that doesn’t automatically make integration clear.
Therapists are left with important questions:
⚪ How do I integrate yoga practices without crossing ethical or clinical boundaries?
⚪ What do I do when clients hesitate, feel unsure, or aren’t ready for movement?
⚪ How do I decide what’s appropriate in this moment, with this client?
Most yoga trainings weren’t designed for the therapy room. They focus on leading classes—not on clinical decision-making, nervous system regulation, or working within a treatment plan.
So many therapists end up feeling uncertain, isolated, and unsure of where to turn.
I know that feeling well.
After completing yoga teacher training, I was excited—but also filled with questions.
When is the right time to bring this into session? What’s ethical? What actually supports clients? How does this fit into treatment goals?
I wanted clarity. I wanted guidance. And I wanted connection with other therapists navigating the same questions.
But for a long time, that community didn’t exist.
Over years of study, supervision, research, and real clinical experience, I learned what supports regulation—and what doesn’t. What fits ethically—and what needs more care. How to integrate yoga practices in ways that are trauma-informed, intentional, and responsive to the nervous system.
The Yoga in Therapy Collective was created so you don’t have to figure this out alone.
It’s a supportive space where therapists learn how to integrate yoga practices into clinical work with clarity, confidence, and integrity—without guessing, forcing, or overstepping.
What’s Inside the Yoga in Therapy Collective
Monthly Yoga in Therapy Essentials trainings
One to Two pre-recorded trainings monthly (up to 20 minutes) focused on one practical skill, clinical framework, or professional guideline at a time—designed to strengthen your ability to integrate yoga into therapy with clarity and confidence.
Essentials cover topics such as ethical integration, trauma-informed yoga, nervous system regulation, documentation, consent, and choosing practices based on client readiness.
Monthly Live Case Consultations & Q&A Live Meetings on Zoom
Ongoing opportunities to bring real clinical questions, get feedback, and learn alongside other therapists navigating embodied work in therapy. Bring real client scenarios and leave with guidance so you can move forward with confidence and clinical integrity.
On Demand Video Library Tutorials of Therapy-appropriate practices
A growing library of gentle movement, breath, meditation and mindfulness practices—designed specifically for use in clinical sessions. Each tutorial includes the intention of the practice, when to use the practice, how to introduce it, and how to integrate it into therapy in a way that feels ethical and responsive.
Because your nervous system matters too, The Collective includes Self-Care practices to help you regulate, restore, and stay connected to your own body while doing this work.
Why This Membership Is Different
Built by a Therapist, for Therapists
I live in both worlds—clinical practice and yoga.
That dual perspective allows me to translate yoga practices into clinically relevant, trauma-informed tools that support therapy rather than replace it.
What You’ll Get:
Ongoing Support
This isn’t a one-time workshop. It’s continuous learning, guidance, and mentorship as your confidence and skills grow.
Community
Learn alongside other like minded therapists who understand both the clinical responsibility and the desire to work more somatically—no explaining or justifying needed.
Centered on You, Too
Therapist sustainability matters. The Collective supports your nervous system and self-care alongside your clinical work, so integration feels sustainable—not draining.
