Wolf Yoga

Welcome. I’m Jordan, a survivor of complex developmental trauma, including childhood neglect, sexual abuse, and domestic violence. These early wounds left me with chronic nervous system dysregulation, PTSD, emotional numbing, and ongoing physiological distress. Conventional treatments fell short of my needs, so I embarked on a personal journey into the study of Consciousness and Human Potential, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Shamanism. This journey inspired me to create Wolf Yoga, a nonprofit and online resource dedicated to healing trauma through an integrative, consciousness-based approach.

Why Wolf Yoga?

Because trauma is not only psychological; it is profoundly biological and spiritual. Trauma fractures the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Without restoring this connection, symptoms persist and healing remains incomplete.

Current research and clinical data reveal a national trauma crisis characterized by:

  • Dysregulation of the HPA axis, our central stress response system

  • Sympathetic nervous system overdrive coupled with dorsal vagal shutdown

  • Structural brain changes impacting memory and executive function

  • Chronic inflammation and metabolic disruptions

  • Increased risks of suicide, addiction, and interpersonal violence

These manifestations show that trauma is a systemic condition, one that cannot be addressed effectively by treating symptoms alone.

A Holistic Solution

Both modern science and ancient Vedic wisdom recognize consciousness as the foundational organizing field of health, healing, and possibility. Consciousness-based modalities, such as Transcendental Meditation (TM), Ayurveda, and yoga, have been empirically validated to restore balance and resilience.

Scientific studies demonstrate that TM:

  • Deactivates the amygdala, reducing fear and emotional reactivity

  • Enhances prefrontal cortex activity, improving regulation and decision-making

  • Increases heart rate variability (HRV), reflecting autonomic flexibility

  • Boosts alpha brainwave coherence, linked to relaxation and creativity

  • Lowers cortisol and inflammatory markers, calming the stress response

These effects translate into measurable reductions in trauma symptoms, enhanced cognitive clarity, and emotional balance.

The Wolf Yoga Framework

Wolf Yoga offers a trauma-responsive, integrative model that blends modern research with ancient healing traditions:

  • Transcendental Meditation: Restores deep neurophysiological rest and autonomic balance.

  • Ayurvedic Regulation: Aligns digestion, circadian rhythms, and endocrine function with natural laws.

  • Yoga: Builds interoceptive awareness, strengthens vagal tone, and empowers somatic agency.

  • Shamanic Integration: Addresses spiritual and nonverbal dimensions of trauma for holistic healing.

  • Subtle Body Therapies: Modalities like Thai Bodywork and Reiki clear stored trauma at the energetic level.

Each component targets specific physiological, psychological, or spiritual layers disrupted by trauma, guiding survivors toward wholeness.

A Community of Healing

Wolf Yoga is more than a set of techniques, it is a community and a movement grounded in love, freedom, and unity. Our website serves as an educational resource and a safe space for survivors, healers, and seekers to explore consciousness-based healing with compassion.

Your trauma is not your identity, nor is it your destiny. Through restoring the sacred connection between mind, body, and spirit, true healing is possible.

Thank you for being here. Your healing matters.

Namaste,
