One-On-One Trauma-Informed Yoga Sessions For Healing
personalized, attuned support for your healing journey
Yoga for Healing
Healing doesn’t just happen in the mind—it happens in the body too. Stress, overwhelm, and trauma live in our breath, our muscles, our posture, and in the ways our nervous system learns to keep us safe.
That’s why one-on-one trauma-informed yoga offers something unique:
a compassionate space to reconnect with your body, nourish your nervous system, and rediscover a sense of safety and empowerment—at your own pace.
These sessions are not about flexibility or getting the “right” pose.
They’re about nervous system care, choice, and presence.
One-on-One Yoga Sessions for Healing
Personalized, attuned support for your healing journey.
One-on-one therapeutic yoga sessions offer a gentle, personalized space to explore breath, grounding, mindful movement, and somatic awareness with the full presence of a trauma-informed yoga teacher. Together, we follow your pace, your body’s cues, and what feels supportive for your nervous system that day.
These sessions are not about doing more — they’re about having room to settle, notice, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and doable.
You might choose a 1:1 session if you’re wanting to:
Receive individualized nervous system support
Rebuild trust, comfort, and safety in your body
Practice embodied boundaries and self-attunement
Move through stress or overwhelm in a grounded, compassionate way
Grow your capacity for presence, rest, and regulation
Have a dedicated space that’s just for you and your healing
Private Yoga for Groups
For a shared space to ground, connect, and breathe together.
We offer private group yoga sessions designed specifically for your group’s needs and intentions. These gatherings create a gentle, supportive environment where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience the steadiness of practicing in community.
Classes can be grounding, restorative, energizing, or centered around themes such as stress relief, burnout support, vicarious trauma, nervous system care, connection, or collective well-being. Each session is shaped by choice, presence, and accessibility so every person can participate at their own pace.
Private group sessions are a meaningful fit for:
Workplaces supporting staff wellness
Helping and healing professional teams
Educator or school-based groups
Nonprofits or community organizations
Support groups, circles, or healing communities
Retreats, trainings, or team gatherings
Whether your group wants a one-time class, a recurring offering, or a special event, we create a space that nurtures grounding, connection, and shared care.
These trauma-informed group offerings are ideal for workplaces, nonprofits, schools, helping professionals, and community organizations seeking supportive, nervous-system–guided yoga experiences.
Bring Yoga to Your Community
For trauma-informed movement that nurtures connection and nervous system care, wherever you are.
We bring trauma-informed yoga for organizations directly to your workplace, organization, school, retreat, or community space. These sessions offer grounding, supportive movement practices that help groups settle, connect, and care for themselves and one another — especially in moments of stress, overwhelm, or collective strain.
Each offering is designed around your group’s needs and capacity. Whether you’re wanting a gentle, grounding practice or something more energizing and resilience-focused, we create a space where people can move at their own pace and feel supported just as they are.
We can create offerings focused on:
Nervous system nourishment and resilience
Embodied presence for helping and healing professionals
Trauma-informed practices for staff and teams
Stress, burnout, and vicarious trauma support
Community grounding rituals or opening/closing circles
Accessible movement and breathwork for all bodies and abilities
Organizations across St. Louis partner with Empowered Spaces to offer accessible yoga for burnout support, nervous system regulation, and staff well-being.
What Makes Yoga at Empowered Spaces Different
We focus on embodiment, empowerment, connection, and choice.
Yoga here is:
Somatic
We help you listen to your body, follow your impulses, and grow your capacity for connection and relationship.
Trauma-Informed
We honor the realities of stress, overwhelm, and oppression — and create practices grounded in safety and consent.
Accessible for All Bodies
We offer variations, props, chairs, and support for every mobility level.
Anti-Oppressive + Justice-Rooted
Your identity, lived experience, and cultural context matter. Our teaching holds all of that with care.
Nervous-System Guided
We practice noticing, pacing, sequencing, and attunement — inviting your nervous system to soften, settle, and reconnect.
Relational + Compassion-Focused
We lead with presence. With warmth. With genuine care.
Yoga here is grounded in somatic practice, nervous-system support, and accessible movement — offering some of the most inclusive trauma-informed yoga in St. Louis.
This is yoga that meets life as it is — messy, beautiful, overwhelming, hopeful — and supports you in moving through it with more grounding and agency.
You can expect:
A warm, welcoming, consent-centered environment
Accessible movement with many options
Invitations rather than directives
Support with breath and grounding
Opportunities to pause, rest, or choose variations at any time
No pressure to perform or “do it right”
Space to reconnect with your body at your own pace
You never have to keep up.
You never have to push through.
You get to honor what your body needs.
