Sarit Z Rogers ERYT, SEP ~ Embodied Somatics

About Sarit

I am a body-based Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Somatic Touch Practitioner, NeuroAffective Touch Practitioner, RYT-500 hour trauma-informed yoga teacher, Reiki 3 Practitioner, accomplished photographer, group facilitator, and writer. I provide multi-faceted support for individuals and groups supporting their development of accessible tools for self-regulation, self-care, and healthy boundaries. I strive to bring accessible SE™ and trauma-informed yoga services to marginalized communities and use the deep and vast ethical wisdom and mindful practices of yoga to support SE™.

I have completed several Somatic Experiencing® master classes with Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Abi Blakeslee, Dave Berger, and Ian Macnaughton. including Eye of the Needle, Depression, Aggression, Life Force, Archetypes and Developmental Trauma, Chronic Pain and Syndromes and Historic and Ancestral Trauma. I completed NeuroAffective Touch with Dr. Aline LaPierre and Somatic Touch with Kathy Kain. 

My beloved grandmother, Roslyn, went to Cuernavaca in the early ’80s for a Spanish immersion program which would help her reach her kindergarten students in Pacoima, CA. She planted within me the seed of service, reminding me of my cultural call to Tikkun Olam, to repair the world, or more clearly, to be in alignment with social action and a call for justice. My maternal grandfather, my Zeide who was a rabbi, taught me that we are meant to teach, and he encouraged me to share the knowledge I carry and acquire with any and all I come in contact with. He always turned my questions into opportunities for reflection.

My work is Somatically inclined and healing centered. Working with others is an opportunity to share this transformative practice and provide opportunities for self reflection, self study (svadhyaya), and to nurture curiosity.

My own experience with  trauma has been a fertile ground for me to experience the benefits of yoga, meditation, and eventually the deep healing of Somatic Experiencing®. Working on healing my nervous system in this potent, titrated way continues to facilitate healing and continues to change my relationship to my own trauma. I have learned that Healing is Possible and am always reminded that Healing is an ongoing process. No matter how much we may seek it, there is no silver bullet. 

I integrate Somatic Experiencing® techniques into my yoga teaching and yoga into individual Somatic Experiencing® sessions. I support and encourage each person toward embodying a more resilient nervous system with more capacity to hold what arises.

Yoga, meditation and SE™ have led me to a deeper relationship with myself, giving me courage and gifting me with a well of curiosity. It was in my writing where I  found the courage to speak the truth; it was on my mat where I learned how to safely climb back into my body; it was in relationship with my soma where I found embodiment, and where I found my wings and learned how to fly.

I strive toward inspiring flexibility in our hearts and in our thinking more than having flexibility in the body.

I look forward to sharing these healing practices with you! 

In gratitude,

Sarit
