Yoga for Healing, Grounding, and Coming Home to Yourself

It doesn’t matter how old you are, how inflexible you may feel, or how humble your physical practice looks. If you can breathe, you can practice.

To me, yoga is self-mastery—a way of returning home to yourself. There is nothing to gain and nothing to achieve, only letting go.

Through breath, movement, and awareness, yoga creates a safe pathway back into the body and gently cleanses the lens of perception so that we can encounter life just as it is, and ourselves just as we are—more present, more embodied, and more at peace.

About the Practice

I combine the structure of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and the fluidity of free movement with a trauma-informed approach that is sustainable, grounding and nourishing.

I invite students to let go of the form and instead focus on cultivating present moment awareness.

You’ll be guided to move with breath, build inner steadiness, and release old patterns held in the body. These classes support you to feel more embodied and connected — not just on the mat, but in your life.

Benefits of Trauma-Informed Yoga

• Gently reconnect with your body in a safe, supported space

• Cultivate nervous system regulation through breath and mindful movement

• Build emotional resilience and capacity, release stored tension

• Develop inner awareness and self-compassion

• Explore somatic healing alongside or beyond talk therapy

• Create a sustainable, supportive practice you can carry with you

  • "Naomi has the most calm, safe presence. Her classes leave me feeling so relaxed, strong, respected, empowered and able to just be me! All levels of experience, energy level and emotional state are welcomed and embraced. Naomi has an incredible wealth of knowledge and huge capacity in her own practice, she is an inspiration but she has never made me feel lesser or small, i believe this is what makes her group classes so accessible and comfortable for beginners. There is no ego, no dogma, just pure loving kindness! Thank you for the time, care and commitment you share with us all Naomi!”

The peace, relaxation and ability to unwind physically and mentally with Naomi has at times been both a rock and a sanctuary during some difficult times in my life and I am so very grateful for this. Naomi has a very calm, easy going nature and with her guidance I have learned how to ‘let go’ the incessant chatter and demands of the daily grind. Thanks Naomi!”
