What is Yoga + IFS?

Embodied Self: Yoga + IFS is a powerful, integrative experience that combines Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work with mindful movement, breath, and hands-on yoga. This approach bridges the gap between mind and body, helping you feel the healing, not just think about it.

As we explore parts of you that hold pain, protection, or wisdom, we invite the body to be a co-facilitator in the process. You may be guided into specific poses, stretches, or movements that support the energy of a part or emotion, allowing you to process and release what’s been held, physically and emotionally.

Why do it together?

Pairing IFS with yoga offers a deeper pathway to healing. When the body moves and opens while the inner system is being explored, powerful shifts can occur.

Benefits of this work include:

  • Releasing stuck emotions or trauma through somatic awareness

  • Increased trust between your mind, body, and Self

  • Integration of insights through movement, not just words

  • Healing that addresses both psychological and physical patterns

  • Support for grief, trauma, anxiety, and inner conflict in a safe, embodied way

  • A deeper sense of presence, empowerment, and self-compassion

This experience allows you to feel seen, supported, and held, both from within and in the container we create together.

Session Overview

Every session begins with a conversation or meditation to explore what’s present, what part of you is showing up, what’s feeling tender, stuck, or activated. From there, I guide you through movement that helps you connect to that part in the body, whether through grounding, stretching, softening, or opening.

We may include:

  • Parts dialogue from the IFS model

  • Gentle or dynamic yoga postures related to the part’s energy

  • Manual adjustments (with your consent)

  • Breathwork and visualization to regulate the nervous system

  • Time for integration through journaling or rest

This is a co-created space where your experience leads. No flexibility, experience, or emotional readiness is required, just curiosity and a willingness to listen inward.

Sessions are available in person only.

Who is this for?

This offering is for anyone seeking a deeper, more embodied path to healing and self-discovery. It’s especially supportive for:

  • People navigating grief, trauma, or loss needing a space where the body can help process what words alone cannot

  • Those healing from stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, looking for grounding and regulation

  • Clients in recovery (from addiction, eating disorders, chronic illness) who want to rebuild trust with the body and inner world

  • Anyone stuck in therapy “in their head”, wanting to connect emotionally and physically to their healing

  • People who resonate with both movement and introspection, and are drawn to deeper integration

  • Those looking to reconnect with their embodied Self with presence, compassion, and courage
