12: Teaching from Your Nervous System - How Self & Co-Regulation Shape a Yoga Class

When we talk about trauma-informed yoga, two words carry immense weight: self-regulation and co-regulation.
They might sound technical, but they’re anything but. These are deeply human skills, the invisible threads that help us stay steady in our own nervous system, and allow us to meet others with presence, safety, and compassion.
In this episode, I explore:
✨ What self-regulation really is (and how to practice it as a teacher or practitioner)
✨ The role of co-regulation and how our nervous systems impact one another
✨ Why creating safety matters more than perfect cues or sequencing
✨ Common classroom experiences where regulation skills make all the difference
✨ Simple grounding & centering techniques I use before every class to show up centered and steady
Because here’s the truth: when students walk into class, they don’t just bring their bodies. They bring their stories, their stress, their emotions, and their nervous systems. And as teachers (or even as fellow practitioners), how we regulate ourselves and how we show up for others shapes the entire experience.
This is why self-regulation and co-regulation are at the heart of trauma-informed yoga.
If this resonates and you feel called to this work, I invite you take the first gentle steps:
