Transformative Healing Through Trauma-Informed Yoga

In the heart of each of us lies a story untold, emotions unexpressed, and a self waiting to be reclaimed. Welcome to The Bodha Blueprint Workshop, where your journey of healing is honored, celebrated, and deeply nurtured.

Your Guide in This Journey

I'm River Braun, certified in Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy through The Embody Lab. With two decades of yoga experience and a deep commitment to introducing self-healing techniques to as many people as possible, I bring a unique blend of experience, empathy, and passion to our shared space. This workshop is more than a practice; it's a reclamation of the self, rooted in the power of community and understanding.

"Healing unfolds when we move beyond self-blame, acknowledging not just our brain but our nervous system's profound influence on our actions. It's about seeing our traumas within the broader tapestry of family, community, and society—realizing our responses are not failures but adaptations to complex contexts. Trauma-informed yoga invites us to gently unlock these pathways, weaving understanding and self-compassion into the fabric of our being, and empowering us to make choices from a place of awareness and connection."

  • Each session is a blend of physical movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices designed to guide you gently towards healing and self-discovery. Expect a safe, inclusive environment where all experiences are valid and welcome.

  • Not at all. In The Bodha Blueprint Workshop, we use mindful movements guided by your body. We’re not about fancy poses and perfect form. We’re about using the pose to get into the body, not the other way around.

  • That’s understandable. There is no requirement to share personal details in this space. Know that everything introduced in The Bodha Blueprint Workshops is invitational. You do not have to do anything you do not feel comfortable doing.

    While this workshop is more about an internal journey, you’ll be helping to hold space for everyone in your cohort of up to 10 other people. I find that often these same individuals maintain a strong bond and return for future workshops together.
