Neurogenic Yoga
A revolutionary technique in trauma healing, tension release, and stress reduction.
The Practice
What is Neurogenic Yoga™?
Neurogenic Yoga™ is a groundbreaking body-based practice designed to build nervous system resilience and support deep healing through gentle movement, breath practices, and the body's natural shaking response. This involuntary tremoring, much like the instinctual shaking seen in animals after a stressful event, is the nervous system's way of discharging held tension, resetting itself, and returning to a state of responsive balance.
While the body is naturally wired to release tension through shaking, societal conditioning often suppresses this instinct from an early age. Neurogenic Yoga™ gently reawakens this innate mechanism, allowing the body to unwind held stress, build greater capacity for regulation, and move through life with more ease and resilience.
The Science
How the Practice Builds Resilience
During a Neurogenic Yoga™ practice, we safely self-induce neurogenic tremoring through gentle movement, breath, and body-driven awareness. Often, vibration begins in the legs and spreads throughout the body, releasing tension held in the muscles and connective tissue, and signaling to the nervous system that it is safe to reset and return to homeostasis.
Whether you're carrying the weight of chronic stress, recovering from difficult life experiences, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and at ease in your body, this practice meets you exactly where you are and supports your nervous system in doing what it was designed to do: heal, regulate, and thrive.
Psoas Release
A resilient nervous system isn't one that just, “stays calm”. It's one that can respond, recover, and adapt.
Discover the deep core muscle that plays a vital role in your body's stress response and capacity for resilience.
Running from the lumbar spine to the femur through the very core of the body, these deep muscles play a key role in the body's stress response and can remain contracted long after a stressful experience has passed. Neurogenic Yoga™ gently works with the psoas through neurogenic tremoring, inviting these muscles to soften, release, and reset. As tension unwinds, many people experience a ripple effect of relief throughout the body, along with a profound sense of openness, calm, and safety within the nervous system.
Who Is Neurogenic Yoga™ For?
If you've ever felt your knees shake before speaking in public, trembled after a stressful event, or noticed your body quiver with intense emotion. You've already experienced your nervous system's natural reset mechanism.
This shaking response is innate, intelligent, and available to all of us. Because of this, everyone can benefit from Neurogenic Yoga™.
