Hi, I’m Wendy Athina Schottle, a Certified Yoga Therapist, Somatic Yoga Therapist, and Ayurveda Yoga Specialist.

For a long time, my body felt like it was constantly bracing and in pain. It was tight, tired, sore, and never fully at ease. I tried all the things we’re told to try: massage, chiropractic care, physical therapy. They helped for a short while but the tension and pain always came back.

What I didn’t understand then was that my body wasn’t broken. It was holding onto stress.

Finding Somatic Yoga changed everything for me. For the first time, I wasn’t just treating symptoms. I was working directly with my nervous system, gently unwinding long held stress patterns and reconnecting my brain and body in a way that felt safe, empowering, and sustainable.

Through these practices, I began to feel relief that actually lasted. My tension softened and I am now pain free. I have more mobility and better overall physical functioning. I am now able to lift weights, swim, dance, walk, and do physical activity that brings me joy! And most importantly, I feel more at home in my body.

Somatic Yoga didn’t just help me feel better. It gave me my life back. It has been an honor for me to share this knowledge and practice to people with chronic stress, pain, and trauma for the last 14 years! My students and my direct experience have been my greatest teachers. I know firsthand the value of what I teach and that we all have the innate ability to heal when we reclaim our mind body connection.

I offer individual sessions and specialty classes for chronic stress, pain, trauma, and injury resolution. I teach people how to listen to their bodies, regulate their nervous system, and cultivate embodied presence.
