If you feel stuck in stress, disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed by emotion—your nervous system is trying to tell you something.
The good news? You can learn to listen.
Healing with Somatic Yoga is your step-by-step guide to reconnecting with your body’s innate wisdom—through breath, movement, sound, and sensation. In this transformative 6-week journey, yoga teacher and somatic coach Brett Larkin helps you unwind stored trauma, regulate your nervous system, and build a felt sense of safety from the inside out.
Whether you’re seeking emotional release, trauma recovery, or nervous system repair after burnout or chronic stress, this book is your invitation to heal—gently, playfully, and powerfully.
Inside, you’ll • A simple weekly roadmap to explore somatic movement, breathwork, and nervous system tools • How to discharge stored stress through shaking, sound, and sensation • Why fascia, vagal tone, and subtle movement hold the key to lasting healing • Journal prompts, micro-practices, and rituals to integrate somatic tools into your daily life
This isn’t about pushing through pain or “fixing” yourself.
It’s about remembering that your body is not the problem—it’s the pathway.
I've been on a mission to feel better for quite some time and have come to develop my own signature restorative reading, writing and yoga practice that calms my nervous system and invites me into deeper wellbeing and growth. Brett's teachings have been an instrumental part of that journey, but this book has brought my own understanding, practice and public work to new levels. Things that weren't quite working, settling or landing are now making sense and making a difference. Leaning into somatic practices and more importantly, taking them OFF the mat, has been a game-changer. Once again, Brett has lit a spark in me and this book can in you, too. You'll feel seen, heard, understood and loved inside the pages.
