Group Support
Mindful Movement for Recovery: Yoga & Somatic Healing Group
Recovery is about more than changing behaviors, it is also about rebuilding a compassionate and trusting relationship with your body.
Mindful Movement for Recovery is an in-person Saturday morning group designed for individuals in eating disorder recovery who are interested in exploring movement from a place of curiosity, self-care, and connection rather than control, compensation, or performance.
Led by Emily Wong, MFT, this group integrates gentle yoga, mindfulness practices, and somatic healing techniques to help participants reconnect with their bodies in a safe and supportive environment. Through guided movement, breathwork, grounding exercises, and group reflection, participants will have the opportunity to cultivate body awareness, reduce stress, and develop greater trust in their body’s signals and needs.
- Location: Marina office
- Fee: $65 per session, a commitment of 4 sessions/month.
- This is a closed group, max of 8 participants
Group participants will have opportunities to:
- Explore movement as a form of self-care rather than calorie burning or body manipulation
- Develop greater awareness of physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system responses
- Practice mindfulness and grounding skills
- Strengthen body trust and body respect
- Learn somatic tools for managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
- Connect with others in recovery in a supportive, nonjudgmental space
*No prior yoga experience is necessary. All bodies, abilities, and recovery journeys are welcome.
