Part One of The Four F’s: Understanding Your Trauma Responses Through the Body

A Somatic Therapeutic Yoga Workshop Series at Rising Lotus Healing Studio, Homer Glen

📅 Saturday, November 28  |  ⏰ 1:00 to 4:00 PM  
📍 Rising Lotus, Homer Glen  |  💵 $299

Do you ever wonder why you show up the way you do in conflict, or in your closest relationships?

Maybe you go on the defense, pull away, smooth everything over, or go blank, and you’re not sure why. Those patterns are rarely random. They’re often a sign of how you learned to survive and cope in your earliest attachment relationships, when your nervous system did whatever it needed to keep you safe.

This four-part series occurring over the next four months helps you understand each of those survival responses through the body. Each workshop focuses on one response, so you can recognize it, understand where it came from, and learn to work with it with more clarity and less self-judgment.

As we move into the holidays, family and close relationships can be especially challenging. This series is here to support you through the season, with tools to support your nervous system and shift things somatically.

In this 3-hour somatic yoga workshop, we’ll explore how flight shows up in your body and where it came from. These patterns are often a sign of how you learned to survive and cope in your earliest attachment relationships, and understanding them can bring more clarity and less self-judgment, especially in conflict and in your closest relationships.

You’ll learn:

  • What flight looks like, and how to feel it from the inside: build interoception, your ability to sense what’s happening in your body, so you can notice the early signs of flight in your body, your thoughts, and your habits before it takes over
  • Where it comes from: how this response forms, drawing on Pete Walker’s work on complex PTSD and Allan Schore’s research on attachment
  • What’s happening in your nervous system: What’s happening in your nervous system: a clear, accessible look at the stress response through neuroscience, including polyvagal theory, and how your brain and body work together to keep you safe
  • How to recognize and work with it: how to notice what triggers flight, and trauma-informed yoga practices to discharge the energy, settle your system, and feel anchored in your body
  • Meeting the part that runs: what it needs from your most grounded, adult self to feel safe enough to slow down

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your flight response, the ability to recognize it early, and a take-home tool you can use in everyday life.

As we move into the holidays, family and close relationships can be especially challenging. This workshop gives you tools to support your nervous system and shift things somatically, so you can move through the season with more steadiness.

No yoga experience is needed. All bodies and all levels are welcome. This workshop is trauma-informed, you move at your own pace, and it is educational rather than a substitute for therapy.

Finding Safety in Your Body

A somatic trauma-informed embodiment reparenting workshop

You can know you’re safe and still not feel it. Maybe your shoulders live near your ears. Maybe your jaw clenches without asking. Maybe rest feels like something you have to earn, or something that isn’t really allowed.

That’s not a flaw in you. It’s a nervous system that learned to stay ready.

Finding Safety in Your Body is an experiential afternoon of gentle movement, breath, and guided somatic practices designed to help your body remember what safety can feel like. There’s no forcing, no fixing, and nothing to perform. You’ll explore at your own pace and choose your own level of intensity, always.

We’ll move through:

  • Nurture – learning to soothe yourself by softening, receiving, and offering your body the care you may have always looked for elsewhere
  •  Protection – working with boundaries and resetting your nervous system afterward
  •  Guidance – reconnecting with your own inner wisdom

You’ll leave with:

  •  Somatic Practices you can use in your own body, on your own, any day, including simple ways to self-soothe when things feel big
  • A felt sense of grounding and what a regulated nervous system feels like. not just ideas about it
  •  Permission to move at the speed of your own safety

No yoga experience needed. All bodies and abilities welcome.

What Participants Are Saying

“I walked in terrified. I walked out feeling empowered.”

“I learned I can finally protect myself now – I can comfort myself.”

“This workshop was such a grounding and restorative experience. I loved the way it blended somatic yoga, reflection, and practical nervous-system regulation tools in a way that felt approachable and easy to incorporate into everyday life. I left feeling more connected to my body and with a better understanding of how to recognize and respond to what my nervous system needs. It was a really thoughtful and meaningful experience.”

Three hours. Brave, vulnerable people, and a room that held them.
