Course Overview

Find balance through breath and awareness.

In this member bonus video, you’ll explore how trauma can fragment the connection between body, mind, and spirit—and how awareness, breath, and movement can help you return to a state of unity. Through guided reflection and somatic practices, you’ll learn to identify internal and external “resources” that support safety, presence, and integration, both on and off the mat.

Drawing from over five decades of experience, Betsy Polatin, MFA, SEP, brings a compassionate, body-centered approach to healing and embodiment. A somatic educator, breathing and movement specialist, and author, Betsy has studied with B.K.S. Iyengar and Swami Satchidananda, blending classical yoga wisdom with modern trauma-resolution and polyvagal-informed techniques.

She has taught thousands of students worldwide and collaborated with renowned experts including Gabor Maté and Peter A. Levine. Betsy is the author of The Actor’s Secret and a contributing writer toSomatic-Oriented Therapies: Embodiment, Trauma, Polyvagal Perspectives (2025).
