Yoga Therapy
for Self-Healing
and Embodied Connection
Because Living a More Peaceful Life is Your Birthright.
If you’re navigating the impacts of trauma or mental health challenges, you might feel disconnected, fragmented, or stuck in pain. These are natural responses to life’s most difficult experiences—but they don’t define you, and they don’t have to be permanent.
Yoga therapy offers a way back to yourself—a return to the whole, complete person you’ve always been, even when life’s challenges made it hard to see. Grounded in the principles of pūrṇa (inherent completeness) and ahiṃsā (non-harming), and Advaita Vedānta (divine connection), yoga therapy creates space for self-compassion, honoring every part of your journey without judgment.
This approach meets you exactly where you are and supports the path you’re ready to take. It uses yoga’s vast and adaptable tools to foster whole-person healing—body, mind, and spirit. Together, we’ll work to help you feel more at ease and capable of living a life that feels aligned, whole, and connected.

Living life to the fullest is hard when you are weighed down by the past and stuck in survival mode.
Many clients cite the following common refrains: 'I just can't handle stress like I used to.' 'I'm tired all of the time.' 'I cannot give myself grace.' 'I don't feel safe or calm anywhere.'
I'm here to help.
Lauren Albarella, Certified Yoga Therapist, Cincinnati, OH
Navigating the relentless currents of stress and exhaustion on the trauma recovery journey is overwhelming. Maybe you feel like you can't ever really rest or relax. Maybe you feel a perpetual level of fear and hesitation you can't shake. It isn't your fault. Trauma's impact on the entire human system is significant and wide-ranging.
In our sessions together, we’ll use the tools of yoga—movement, breathwork, mindfulness, and meditation—to gently peel back the layers of stress, overwhelm, or past experiences that may be clouding your sense of self. This is a supportive and deeply personal process tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re navigating trauma, chronic pain, mental health challenges, or simply feeling stuck.
My approach is rooted in the perspective of non-duality (Advaita)—the understanding that we are all interconnected and that beneath life’s struggles lies a steady, unchanging part of you that is whole and at peace. Together, we’ll work to help you reconnect with that sense of completeness, bringing more balance, ease, and clarity to your life.

Looking for an accessible and not intimidating group experience?
My primary work is 1:1 yoga therapy, but I also teach group classes at Kindred Flow Yoga in Cincinnati. If you are local, please check out the studio schedule HERE.
All my classes are trauma-informed, using the tenets of Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga. I teach a slower vinyasa-style class on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00, a mindfulness-based gentle flow on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 10:45, and a very slow, relaxing (get ready for bed) class on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
So, if you are looking for relief through yoga but are not ready or interested in 1:1, please check out my classes.
I am also thrilled to be part of a healing collective, Nourish at be. along with the yoga studio here in Cincinnati, which includes some amazing women. Check that out HERE.

Why Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy (YT) using the healing power of an ancient practice to build resilience in the body. When we have resiliency, we can tap into our innate ability to heal. Therefore, YT can be used to help manage a lot of different conditions.
How is this possible?
There are very few healing modalities that consider all layers of being human and are so highly customized. If you incorporate these practices into your life you will gain resilience. YT rebuilds resiliency layer by layer within the human experience. You will be given practices that help to balance your entire being. This is beyond the physical poses most of us know from our yoga classes.
This is why it works.
In YT we use a much broader range of practices–thousands of years old and supported by modern science–to facilitate healing. These tools are curated for YOU as an individual, working step-by-step through each layer of being.
The Layers of Being (Human)
How is your physical/energetic and mental state of being?
-
Can you move without pain?
-
Do you have joint mobility and freedom?
-
Is your muscular strength even and balanced?
-
Do you have steady energy throughout the day?
-
Do you breathe and move with ease?
-
Are you thinking clearly?
-
Do you feel calm and emotionally balanced?
-
Can you be in the present moment?
Get more 'yeses' for your health!
Answering yes to all of these questions may seem like a tall order, and it is. But we can use yogic tools to address imbalances in each of these areas, to get more 'yeses' than 'no's', creating better full body balance and ease suffering.
