Nityda Coleman, LCSW, E-RYT, is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice, specializing in trauma work with teens and providing parent support and guidance. Nityda began teaching yoga in 2006 and has never looked back. Nityda is passionate about integrating yoga into her psychotherapy practice, having found this to be exceptionally healing for trauma survivors, the primary population she serves. As trauma is stored visually and viscerally, in the body’s cells, the gentle, awakening movements of yoga allow the residual tension left by trauma to be released.

Nityda leads trainings around the U.S., teaching yoga and mental health professionals how to teach trauma-conscious yoga in a variety of settings.
