Helping you heal by finding body empowerment ✨️
Welcome to my channel 😊
I am Audriana, a physical therapist, 200-hr certified yoga teacher, and trauma-informed yoga teacher.
I have a passion for using movement to help people who have experienced trauma, who live with chronic pain, or anyone who feels disconnected from their body because of their physical or mental health. This channel consists of gentle, choice-based movement that prioritizes safety and nervous system care, and nervous system regulation practices to help you reconnect with yourself. I hope this channel brings you tools to find joy in movement and your body.
I recommend you consult a healthcare provider before attempting any new exercise routine. If you engage in the videos on this channel, you agree that you do so at your own risk, and are voluntarily participating in these activities.
I upload a new video every Sunday, I invite you to subscribe to get your weekly dose of empowered movement and education.

Exciting update! I'm expecting a little one in November 😊🥰. You can expect weekly videos until then, with my body changing throughout as the baby grows 😄. I'm planning a year maternity so starting in November you can expect monthly videos instead of weekly. More videos may be added in between depending on how me and the little one are feeling. 🩷

Living and loving the slow island life lately.
What's inspiring you these days?
For me, it's been time in nature, good food, and snuggles with my kitty. These all feel so healing for my body and soul. 🩷

The fourth practice of my yoga for mental health focused month was all about relaxing the mind. This practice combines breathing, gentle yoga shapes and concepts of acceptance and commitment therapy to stay present. It's a great practice for anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, or racing thoughts.

If you missed Sunday's video I started out my mental health month videos with a gentle trauma informed yoga for anxiety practice. This practice combines gentle movement, breathing, and tuning into the present moment to reduce feelings of anxiety. I hope it brings you comfort.

For the month of May each of my weekly videos will focus on movement practices for mental heath.
As the weather gets warmer, the sun comes out more often, and the flowers begin to bloom, it can be easy to forget there are still people struggling with their mental health.
My goal with each practice this month is to bring comfort to your body and mind, even if only for a brief period. We all deserve to have moments in our day of joy, happiness, and relief.

This week's yoga practice combines meditation, positive fertility affirmations and gentle yoga shapes with the purpose of reducing stress and tension in the body and promoting empowerment. Yoga may not change egg or sperm quality, but it can improve how both your mind and body feel which can help the fertility journey. ✨️
