⚪The Yoga in Therapy Collective⚪

A Supportive membership Space for mental health therapists ready to bridge the gap between yoga training and clinical practice

You know talk therapy has its limits.

Even the best talk therapy can hit a wall.  

You’ve seen it before — clients talk, process, analyze… yet they stay stuck. Because words alone can’t shift what’s held in the body. 

 Healing happens when the body and nervous system are part of the conversation. 

That’s why you pursued yoga training — to bring a more embodied, somatic approach into your clinical work.

But here’s the challenge:

⚪ How do you integrate yoga without crossing ethical lines?

⚪ What do you do when clients hesitate or aren't comfortable?

⚪ How do you know what’s safe, effective, and appropriate in a therapy session?

Most yoga teacher trainings weren’t designed for therapists. They prepare people to lead classes, not to guide clients through yoga as part of the clinical process. It’s no wonder many therapists feel isolated, uncertain, and unsure of where to turn.

I know the feeling.

After finishing yoga teacher training, I was excited but also nervous and uncertain—  I had more questions than answers. 

When and How should I bring this into sessions? What’s ethical? What actually helps clients?  How do we tie this into a client's Treatment plan?  Where do I start?

I wanted more clarity and direction. I craved a community of therapists walking the same path.  But I knew no one else on this journey. It was isolating.  

I didn’t find those answers overnight. It took years of trial and error — exploring what worked, what didn’t, and what felt safe and effective for clients.

I poured myself into research, specialized trainings, and supervision to make sense of how yoga could ethically and meaningfully fit within therapy.

Over time, I developed a grounded, trauma-informed approach that honors both yoga philosophy and clinical practice.

I created the Yoga in Therapy Collective so you don’t have to piece it all together alone. I’ve done the back work — the research, the learning, the testing — so you can step into this integration process with more clarity, confidence, and support from the very start.

Why This Membership Is Different

Built by a Therapist for Therapists — I live in both worlds: clinical and yoga 

This dual perspective allows me to bridge the gap — translating yoga practices into clinically relevant, trauma-informed tools that support therapy rather than replace it.

You will get: 

Ongoing Support — this isn’t a one-time workshop; it’s continuous growth and mentorship.

Community — you’ll learn alongside other yoga-trained therapists who “get it.”

Centered on You, Too — because Therapist self-care and sustainability are just as important as client care.

Who the Collective Is For

This space was designed for:

Licensed Therapists, Counselors, or Social Workers with yoga training (any level, even if you’re still in training)

Clinicians who value trauma-informed, ethical practice

Therapists ready to grow with confidence and ease

If you’ve ever felt alone or stuck after yoga training, unsure of how to actually integrate it into therapy, this Collective was built with you in mind.

The Yoga in Therapy Collective is your space to:
