Staying grounded is a skill. It can be taught.

Clinically informed yoga and nervous system regulation for workplaces and wellness professionals. Practical somatic movement and accessible yoga practices people can actually use during the workday. Led by a licensed clinician, public health advocate, and yoga educator. Life is full of challenges you never expect, which is why learning to regulate your nervous system matters so much. It’s how you stay grounded in the chaos instead of being swept up by it.

Why emotional regulation is a public health issue

My combination of clinical experience and public health education has changed the way I think about how most of us were never really taught to manage our emotions, and what it actually feels like to be calm.

How we take care of ourselves doesn’t just affect us. It affects how we show up for our families, how we show up at work, and how we function in our communities. Over time, it also has implications for our larger healthcare system. I bring that perspective into everything I do, as a behavioral health advisor, yoga instructor, and educator.

Individuals
A regulated nervous system thinks more clearly, sleeps better, and is less likely to reach for substances or other ways of numbing their feelings when things get hard.
Families
Parents who can steady themselves help their kids learn to do the same. Regulation is contagious. So is overwhelm.
Workplaces
Burnout shows up as employee turnover, sick days, conflict, and mistakes long before anyone names it. Prevention costs far less than replacing good people.
Communities
In places with limited access to behavioral health care, simple and accessible tools that people can use on their own help close part of the gap in access to services.

For staff, sessions address the burnout and secondary stress that come with this work.

Continuing education for yoga teachers

For RYTs seeking Yoga Alliance CE hours

As a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, I offer courses that help teachers work more skillfully with students carrying stress, trauma, or addiction. Coming soon: Grounded: Yin-Based Practices for Emotional Regulation in Recovery.

Why a clinician, and not just a coach

There are many good yoga teachers and wellness coaches. What shapes my work is years spent sitting with people through crisis, recovery, and the difficult work of creating lasting behavior change.

I also know how easily the demands of everyday life, including work, kids, relationships, health, and the constant pressure to keep up, can leave us overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves. Yoga offers a way to come back into our bodies, slow down, breathe, and give the nervous system a chance to settle. I learned that the hard way, and it’s a big part of why I teach it now. You don’t have to be in crisis to need that.

Master of Public HealthMPH

From Eastern Washington University. My public health education has taught me the importance of not only helping people once they’re in crisis, but creating programs, environments, and resources that support well-being before they are in crisis. It also gives me the tools to design programs that reach beyond one person or one class and evaluate whether they’re actually making a difference.

Licensed Addiction CounselorLAC

I’m licensed by the State of Montana and completed my graduate studies in Addiction Counseling at Montana State University. My experience includes working as a clinician, behavioral health advisor, and crisis counselor, as well as developing behavioral health programming for local and national nonprofit organizations.

Yoga credentials and training

E-RYT 200 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), with specialized training in Yin Yoga; Yoga for Trauma, Depression & Anxiety; and Corporate Yoga.

Community work

Volunteer with The Compassion Project, Suffer Out Loud, and Shatterproof, and communications consultant for national health organizations.

Workshops and classes are educational and are not therapy or treatment. If someone needs more support, I help connect them to their EAP, a provider, or crisis resources, so they get the right care.

It took me too many years to learn the tools I now teach. I wish someone had shown me sooner that sometimes the simplest things, like slowing down, breathing, and coming back into your physical body, even for just a few minutes, can make the biggest difference.

About Adrienne

I’ve spent most of my adult life in Bozeman, raising three kids and countless animals, and building a career in behavioral health. For years I have worked with people navigating some of the hardest parts of their lives: crisis, addiction, recovery, parenting, and the long, complicated process of trying to make things better.

But knowing a lot about mental health doesn’t make you immune to overwhelm. There were many years when I was juggling kids, work, anxiety, and all the things, mostly by just barely getting through each day without stopping to think about what I actually needed.

Over time, I learned that putting my own needs last wasn’t sustainable. Slowing down, breathing, moving, and paying attention to both my mind and body weren’t indulgences. They were some of the simplest ways to take care of myself and expand my capacity to handle the everyday stress of being human.

That experience shapes this work as much as my professional training does. We can’t eliminate uncertainty or discomfort from our lives, but we can learn how to move through them without always needing to escape.
