“The Yothera Method for Brainspotting” with Jessica Maitri, LCSW
This experiential workshop introduces Brainspotting practitioners to practical yoga therapy tools that support bottom-up emotional regulation and somatic processing. Participants will learn how movement, breathwork, sound, and sensory-based practices help regulate the autonomic nervous system and create optimal conditions for attunement before, during, and after a
Brainspotting session. The focus is on expanding therapists’ capacity to guide clients into deeper embodied awareness, enhance neurobiological regulation, and strengthen somatic presence within the therapeutic frame.
Through a blend of teaching, live demonstrations, guided practices, and community interaction, attendees will develop applied skills for integrating yoga-therapy-informed techniques into Brainspotting sessions. These embodied tools help stabilize activation, support co-regulation, and deepen access to subcortical material through bottom-up pathways.
Drawing from the embodied principles of the Yothera Method, this workshop demonstrates how simple movement sequences, breath-based interventions, interoceptive tracking, sensory orientation, and sound-based regulation can enhance the neurophysiological foundations of Brainspotting. Therapists will leave with practical, trauma-informed skills that support clients in settling the nervous system, accessing deeper processing, and expanding their window of tolerance throughout Brainspotting work.
