About Your Somatic Yoga Therapist

Rebecca Trussell, MS, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, YACEP

I have been naturally drawn to a movement and yoga practice all my life, although I had never heard of moving meditation. As a young adult, I used my morning runs to quiet my mind and to practice being present. I was diagnosed with scoliosis in my 20s and discontinued running due to pain. I turned to yoga to find the quietness I missed from running. My yoga practice began simply—with incorporating sun salutations into my morning routine. After practicing independently and noting the physical benefits, I wanted to learn more.

I hold a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, and am currently working toward certification in Somatic Experiencing®. I am a Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists, an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher and Continuing Education Provider through Yoga Alliance, and have completed multiple 200- and 300-hour yoga teacher trainings. I am a graduate of the Living School at the Center for Action and Contemplation where I studied meditation and contemplative living.

I provide somatic yoga therapy and trauma processing through the lens of Somatic Experiencing®. I also provide coaching for yoga instructors, teacher training, general classes, and reiki—virtually and in the Atlanta, GA, area.
