Event Details
More Than a Yoga Class
Soft Power is a trauma-informed, nervous-system-centered yoga experience that blends slow, intentional movement with somatic awareness and psychotherapeutic insight.
This is not performance-based yoga. It is not about flexibility, intensity, or aesthetic form.
It is a structured, supportive space to slow down, reconnect to your body, and build regulation from the inside out.
In a culture that rewards productivity and constant output, this work matters because safety and healing begin in the body. Many people intellectually understand their patterns yet still feel dysregulated, tense, or disconnected. Soft Power addresses that gap.
Through accessible movement, breathwork, and guided awareness, participants practice returning to themselves in a way that is steady, grounded, and sustainable.
Who This Is For
This offering is designed for individuals who are:
- Engaged in therapy, integration work, or personal growth
- Navigating stress, burnout, trauma history, or nervous system dysregulation
- Moving through post-psychedelic integration
- Seeking a more embodied approach to healing
No advanced yoga experience is required. Only a willingness to move gently and turn inward.
When Insight Isn’t Enough
Many people:
- Understand their patterns intellectually but struggle to feel safe in their bodies
- Experience chronic stress or hypervigilance
- Feel disconnected from sensation or overwhelmed by it
- Have difficulty sustaining meaningful change
Soft Power works directly with the nervous system — the part of you that reacts before your mind can reason. Through slow, intentional movement and choice-based guidance, you begin to notice subtle cues of activation and shutdown in real time. Rather than overriding or pushing through them, you practice meeting those sensations with steadiness and agency.
What You’ll Leave With
Participants commonly leave with:
- Practical regulation tools they can use immediately
- Increased body awareness
- A clearer understanding of their stress responses
- Greater grounding, choice, and self-trust
Most importantly, you will experience what it feels like to return to yourself in a way that is supportive and sustainable.
Structure
45 minutes of trauma-informed yoga
