Mindfulness & Yoga Therapy | Embodiment Practices | Aidan Johnson, LMFT
​Reconnect with Your Body, Calm Your Mind
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to feel disconnected from ourselves. Stress, anxiety, and trauma can leave us feeling out of touch with our bodies and overwhelmed by our thoughts. But there's hope. Through mindfulness, yoga, and embodiment practices, we can find our way back to balance, peace, and presence.
The Power of Mindful Embodiment
Mindful embodiment is more than just a buzzword—it's a transformative approach to healing that combines:
- Mindfulness: Cultivating present-moment awareness
- Yoga: Uniting body, breath, and mind
- Somatic techniques: Accessing the wisdom of your body
Together, these practices create a powerful toolkit for managing stress, processing emotions, and fostering deep self-awareness.
How Mindful Embodiment Can Help You
- Reduce anxiety and stress
- Improve emotional regulation
- Enhance body awareness and self-connection
- Process trauma stored in the body
- Cultivate resilience and inner strength
- Improve sleep and overall well-being
What to Expect in Our Sessions
In our work together, we'll tailor mindful embodiment practices to your unique needs. This may include:
- Guided meditations: Learn to quiet your mind and tune into the present moment
- Gentle yoga sequences: Connect with your body through mindful movement
- Breathing exercises: Harness the power of your breath to calm your nervous system
- Body scans: Develop greater awareness of physical sensations and emotions
- Somatic experiencing: Release stored tension and trauma through body-based techniques
No prior experience with mindfulness or yoga is necessary. All practices are adaptable to your comfort level and physical abilities.
