Feeling Safe In Your Body With Chronic Pain

With Tonya Rothe

Living with chronic pain or fatigue can change your relationship with your body. It can leave you feeling disconnected, guarded, frustrated, or afraid of doing something that might make things worse. This course offers a slower, softer way to reconnect without pushing, performing, stretching, or forcing yourself into a state you cannot access. Through breath, sensory awareness, rest, and gentle inner movement, you’ll explore what feels safe enough to notice, stay with, and slowly trust. This course is about building a kinder relationship with your body in small, compassionate ways, especially on the days when pain or fatigue has left you feeling far away from yourself.

Learn to rebuild trust with your body when chronic pain, fatigue, or fear has made it hard to feel safe inside yourself.

Kitsap County, WA, USA

Tonya is a neurodivergent yoga and meditation teacher with more than 25 years of yoga practice. Her work focuses on making yoga, meditation, breathwork, and rest more accessible for neurodivergent adults and highly sensitive people, especially those navigating burnout, chronic stress, difficulty resting, or traditional practices that haven’t worked well for them. She is a 500-hour registered yoga teacher with additional training in meditation, mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, holistic nutrition, Brain Longevity, and trauma-informed and accessible approaches to yoga. She also holds a master’s degree in Humanities. Tonya teaches yoga as much more than physical poses. Her approach draws from movement, breath, meditation, rest, and yoga philosophy, with an emphasis on understanding your own needs rather than trying to practice in one prescribed way. Her classes and courses offer practical ways to work with your body, mind, energy, and attention in everyday life.
