Nervous System Reset and Yoga with Lori

05/07/2026

After 12 years in talk therapy, Maya finally cried with her whole body.

Not the polite kind. The kind where her shoulders shook and her diaphragm released and something deep in her belly let go of a story she'd been carrying since she was 6.

She wasn't in a clinical office. She was in her living room, on a Sunday morning, in a recorded somatic practice with one of our faculty.

This is what we hear over and over from Embody Lab members:

"I understood my trauma intellectually for years. I just couldn't feel my way out of it. Until I found the body."

Talk therapy is necessary. But it's not always sufficient.

The body has been waiting for an invitation.

Yes!

There are 3 nervous system states. Most of us only recognize one: fight or flight.

But Dr. Stephen Porges' polyvagal theory revealed something profound:

VENTRAL VAGAL - safe & social. Curious. Connected. Open. The state where healing happens.

SYMPATHETIC - fight or flight. Mobilized. Activated. Often labeled "anxiety."

DORSAL VAGAL - shutdown. Numb. Disconnected. Often missed because it can look like "calm."

Healing isn't about staying ventral all the time (that's not human).

It's about flexibility, the ability to move between states without getting stuck.

Which state do you live in most? No judgment, just curiosity.

Nervous System Reset and Yoga with Lori

After stepping into my first Ashtanga class in 2008, I experienced an immediate mind–body–spirit connection that changed my entire nervous system and life. What began as a practice became a disciplined, daily path of healing, grounding, and transformation.

Welcome to my business page, I am so glad you are here. It's been a minute so allow me to introduce myself again...

Hi, I am Lori and I am obsessed with healing the nervous system through somatic practices such as yoga and movement. I completed my 500-hour training at 3B Yoga in Provo, Utah (2012) and received restorative yoga certification through Sage Hills Healing Center (2014). I’ve been teaching and assisting since 2011 across studios throughout the West, continuing my studies through Ashtanga Yoga Confluences, workshops, in-depth study of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, and an in-depth study of trauma and the autonomic nervous system.

I now offer private sessions and services from the comfort of your home, or from my at-home space in Salem, Utah, specializing in Ashtanga Vinyasa, restorative, gentle, and yin yoga. I also integrate Reiki, sound therapy, meditation, and nervous system regulation techniques to create a safe, intimate space for deep healing and embodiment.

My approach is interactive, personalized, and grounded in traditional yoga philosophy, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care — helping you move from survival mode into regulation, steadiness, strength, and inner calm.

Kindly,
Lori

Come practice with me. Now is the time for yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️. When the seasons change and we can no longer go outside as much we tend to get all bound up, stiff, and extra tired. We need movement more during the fall and winter months. Let me know how I can help you.
