Kundalini Spiritual Warrior focused on addiction recovery through a trauma informed lens.

As a Spiritual Warrior (300 hr Kundalini, 200 hr Vinyassa, 125 hr Trauma Informed Recovery Coach, 30 hr Y12SR, Reiki Level II), Gwen expertly guides individuals through life's challenges combining evidence-based recovery techniques with the healing power of yoga. Using the containers of Ayurveda, Lunar Archetypes, the Wisdom of the Enneagram and the Power of Kundalini yoga- thank you Jeannie O'Neill- we recover and reclaim our true identity. Sa Ta Na Ma (the foundational mantra representing the cycle of life) Gwen uses her own life experience as a postpartum doula and end-of-life doula to support one's transformation/rebirth in a life beyond addiction. Through the radical idea-thank you Guru Tommy Rosen-that "addiction is not a moral failure but a spiritual condition that calls for a spiritual solution" together we step onto the mat to cultivate a new awareness using breath, movement, meditation and mantra. Yoga (union) for emotional regulation, somatic healing and integration of mind, body and spirit.
