Reclaim Your Body

Arrive, orient, and settle into a supportive space. Meet your cohort, learn what to expect, and take your first gentle steps toward being in your body without pressure. This week builds safety and clarity with a supportive, spacious introduction.

Explore a variety of simple tools that offer your system glimmers of relief right away. Identify what brings your system ease, comfort, and steadiness. Create a resource bank you can return to so you have something reliable to lean on throughout our time together.

Connect with the realm of sensation and rebuild the neural pathways that help you feel present and real. Instead of analyzing your experience, you’ll learn how to inhabit it. This week establishes interoception so you can sense yourself, trust your signals, and feel more at home inside.

Practice making small, low-stakes, embodied choices that rebuild agency and self-trust. Notice how each decision reshapes your experience. Over time, these micro-choices help you shift from automatic reactions or shutdown toward intentional action and a growing sense of possibility.

Discover how predictable rhythms calm the nervous system and create ease. Learn to use repetition and steady patterns as a form of regulation, giving your body something reliable to organize around especially when life feels unpredictable or overwhelming.

Gently explore the physiology of collapse and shutdown without trying to fix it. Learn practices that melt stuck survival energy and help your system re-enter movement, curiosity, and connection. This week supports your capacity to move again - internally and emotionally.

Experience trauma-sensitive breathing practices that support regulation without forcing intensity. Learn which breath patterns soothe, which activate, and how to work with breath in ways your body actually welcomes. Replace pressure with choice, clarity, and safety around your breath.

Interrupt survival momentum and build the capacity to pause, orient, and choose differently. Learn tools that help you shift from old patterns into new possibilities. This week strengthens the part of you that can return to steadiness, even when life feels fast.

Explore how your body navigates endings, beginnings, and the spaces in between. Instead of bracing or collapsing, learn to soften into transitions with more flexibility and breath. This week supports fluidity, curiosity, and the ability to stay with yourself as things change.

Integrate what you’ve learned, acknowledge new patterns, and recognize what now feels possible. Identify practices that support you moving forward, so the changes you’ve experienced continue to grow. Celebrate your progress and honor the relationship you’ve built with your body.

Reclaim Your Body is for anyone who wants to feel more grounded, confident, and resourced in their daily life. You don’t need to have a trauma diagnosis to benefit. Many participants join because:

• their body feels confusing, reactive, or hard to be in

• they’ve tried talk therapy, mindset work, or meditation but still feel stuck

• they want support to regulate stress and feel more like themselves

• they long for a kinder relationship with their body

This course welcomes all genders, identities, body types, and experience levels. If you’re curious about healing through choice, awareness, and gentleness (not pressure or performance) you belong here.

No. This is not a therapy group, and you will never be asked to share trauma content.

This space focuses on:

• the present moment

• what you notice in your body

• how practices impact you

• building capacity and choice

Sharing is always optional and is invited in a structured way in response to the course material. No disclosure of personal trauma history is required.

Everyone’s nervous system is unique, so of course outcomes vary. However, past participants have reported:

• Less anxiety and overwhelm

• Fewer panic responses

• Improved sleep, digestion, and energy

• Feeling more confident setting boundaries

• A kinder inner voice and more self-trust

• A sense that life feels more workable and less like “too much”

This course isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping your system remember how to settle, respond, and expand. When your body feels less like a hellscape and more relatively safe haven, change becomes possible.

Each class meets for 90 minutes per week.
Between sessions, you’ll receive simple home practices (5–10 minutes a day) designed to support integration, not overwhelm you.

This course is intentionally paced so that it feels doable, not demanding.

Online cohort: Yes. If you miss a class, you’ll receive a private recording.

In-person cohort: Classes are not recorded, but you will receive access to guided practices, lesson audio, and weekly materials inside the online portal. You’ll miss the group interaction, but you won’t fall behind.

The course includes group attunement and plenty of supportive contact. That said, group work is different from individualized care. Many participants find it helpful to work with a therapist or somatic practitioner alongside the course. You’re welcome to book 1:1 sessions with Kelsey or request referrals at any time.

Yes. You can choose the tuition option that works best for your nervous system and your budget:

✨ Early Bird Tuition — a reduced rate for those who register before January 1 (or until spots are filled).
Perfect if you already know you want to join and want to save $300 while securing your spot early.

🌿 Standard Tuition — the regular course price once Early Bird pricing ends.

🌀 Interest-free payment plan — a simple monthly option that allows you to spread out tuition without added fees.

Beyond the Early Bird discount and the payment plan, there are no additional discounts for this cohort.

Because space is limited and each participant’s seat impacts group size, tuition becomes non-refundable after January 15, 2026 (five days before class begins).

If you need to withdraw before January 15, please reach out. We will review your situation and explore available options.

Payment Plan Policy
If you enroll using a payment plan, you are responsible for completing all scheduled payments. A payment plan is not a subscription you can cancel, it’s simply a way to spread out your tuition over time.

Many past participants felt the same and ended up loving this approach.

This isn’t about poses, flexibility, or doing things “right.” Everything is choice-based, invitational, and adaptable. You decide what you do, how you do it, and whether you participate at any moment. Resistance, rest, curiosity, and rebellion are all welcome.

In-person cohort: The Berkeley Yoga Center classroom is located on the second floor and currently requires stairs. It is not wheelchair accessible. If you’re unsure whether the space will work for your body, please reach out with questions.

All cohorts: Before class begins, you’ll have the opportunity to share your access needs so we can co-create community agreements that honor the bodies in the room and center those with the greatest needs. All practices are optional, and every body’s pace is respected.

This isn’t a performance, a workout, or a place to get it “right.” It’s a weekly practice of returning to your body with compassion, curiosity, and choice. Through continued consistent practice, you’ll rewire your brain to feel safer and more empowered in your body.

Grounding & Arrival
A guided settling practice and brief reflection to help your nervous system shift out of the day and into the present.
