Program Listening to your Body to Calm your Mind
with Yoga
Listening to your body is not about doing more.
It is about slowing down enough to perceive what is already there.
This yoga program is an invitation to reconnect with the body as a source of intelligence, regulation, and inner guidance. Rather than using movement to control the mind, we use breath, sensation, and simple postures to create the conditions for the mind to settle naturally.
When the body is heard, the mind no longer needs to race.

Why Listen to Your Body
Many of us have learned to override bodily signals in order to function, perform, or keep going. Over time, this disconnection often shows up as tension, anxiety, fatigue, or a sense of being constantly “on.”
Listening to the body is a process of rebuilding trust.
It allows us to recognize limits, needs, and rhythms before they turn into overwhelm.
This practice is not about fixing the body, but about restoring dialogue. Through attention and gentle movement, the nervous system begins to regulate, and clarity arises without force.

What It Means to Calm Your Mind
A calm mind is not achieved by suppressing thoughts.
It emerges when the body feels safe enough to release holding.
In this program, yoga is approached as a somatic and contemplative practice. Movements are slow, intentional, and adaptable. Breath becomes an anchor. Sensation becomes information.
As the body settles, mental noise softens. Attention moves from reactivity to presence. Calm is not imposed, it is allowed.

How Yoga Support this Process
Each session weaves together:
• Gentle yoga postures adapted to the individual body
• Breath awareness to support regulation and presence
• Slow transitions that invite sensing rather than pushing
• Moments of stillness and meditation for integration and rest
There is no performance, no ideal shape, and no expectation to “do it right.” The invitation is to stay curious, receptive, and honest with your own experience.
This is yoga as listening, not achievement.

About
My name is Mirelli Shimizu
I am a yoga teacher with postgraduate training in Yoga from FAIPE and certifications from IEPY in Brazil and the Kaivalyadhama Institute in India, one of the oldest yoga institutes in the world and a pioneer in scientific research on the effects of yoga.
For many years, I relied on dissociation and overthinking as ways to cope with life. These strategies once helped me navigate difficult moments, but they also distanced me from my body and emotional experience, leaving me either numbed or overwhelmed.
Yoga became a pathway back to embodied presence. Through breath, movement, and attention, I learned to listen to the body as a source of regulation, clarity, and lived wisdom. In my teaching, yoga is not about performance or achievement, but about restoring dialogue between body and mind.
It will be an honor to hold space for your unique process, supporting you in reconnecting with your body as a place of stability, perception, and guidance.
