Yoga & Somatic Experiencing with Ocean Gettys LCSW

In this workshop, we will explore the intersections between yoga and Somatic Experiencing through the lens of nervous system repair.

We will practice asana and mindful social engagement utilizing SE skills and themes in service to healing our connection with our bodies, hearts, planet, and each other.

This three hour window will allow for deeper regulation, connection, and integration. We will explore several themes collaboratively through mindful sharing & reflection in circle format throughout the workshop, with partner and small group connection as well . We’ll review trauma from a nervous system lens, as well as common dysregulation patterns. This workshop aims to provide tools for self regulation & coregulation, while applying foundational SE principles in yoga application.

This offering is distinct from the Friday weekly class and previous 2-hour workshops in that there will be more opportunity for:

• Q&A w/ teaching portions

• Journaling reflection

• Blend of large group, partner, and small group discussion

• Longer individual practice portion

• Multiple co-regulatory practices

• Opening and closing sharing to promote integration and community connectedness

• Slower pace overall, more time for each section of workshop

You are an integral part of our human community, and your presence is welcomed and celebrated in this space. 

Ocean is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who also offers individual somatic based therapy sessions in private practice. For more information on Ocean’s work as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner please visit Psychology Today.
