A Beginner-Friendly, Trauma-Informed Class
Discover the foundational elements of Kundalini Yoga to revitalize your nervous system, awaken inner energy, and cultivate deep peace.
This class is designed especially for beginners, highly sensitive people, empaths, and anyone feeling overstimulated, burned out, or disconnected from their body.
What Is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga goes beyond movement — it is a full-spectrum mind-body practice integrating posture, breath, sound, and awareness.
Through intentional sequencing of:
- Spinal warm-ups
- Kriyas (sets of postures)
- Breathwork
- Mudras and mantra
- Deep nervous system rest
You’ll be guided to calm stress responses, support emotional regulation, and reconnect with your natural vitality.

- Reduce stress & anxiety by supporting nervous system regulation
- Restore energy naturally without pushing or forcing
- Support spinal health through gentle, guided movement
- Improve strength & flexibility in a grounded, accessible way
- Deepen mind–body awareness and self-trust
- Trauma-informed & inclusive — Kara creates a safe, choice-based space for exploration and healing
What to Expect
- A calm, nurturing environment ideal for empaths & HSPs
- Clear, beginner-friendly guidance with modifications offered
- Optional mantra, breathwork, and mudras (always choice-based)
- A judgment-free space to explore at your own pace

What Is Trauma-Informed Yoga?
Trauma-informed yoga prioritizes safety, autonomy, and present-moment awareness. You are always in control of your experience, with no pressure to perform, push, or participate beyond what feels supportive.

This month at Spiritual Steep, we’re diving into “Silly Enlightenment” from local York artist, holistic psychotherapist, and author, Tom Newnam. Silly Enlightenment is a rare kind of book – one that makes you chuckle out loud while gently shifting how you see the world. Lighthearted, wise, and unexpectedly moving, it offers humor as an antidote to modern chaos and insight as a balm for the soul.
You don’t have to read the book to join (in person OR Online)— just bring your curiosity.
