SCOTT NELSON

Yoga Therapy Specialist
Scott first experienced yoga in the spring of 2012, at the start of his recovery from trauma, addiction and suicide. Seeing the immediate results, he completed his initial 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2014 and possesses over a decade's worth of private mentorship and professional training that has bolstered his knowledge base in yoga therapy from classical, modern, and trauma-informed perspectives. Yoga’s physiological and psychological benefits to performance and recovery are well documented and Scott has built his career honing his skills helping amateur and semi-pro athletes alike achieve peak performance. Additionally, Scott specializes as a trauma-informed yoga and somatic therapist, working with first responders, active military personnel, and veterans to help them more effectively manage stress and heal trauma so that they can live a whole life. Scott's mission is to bridge Eastern wisdom with Western science. Through his teaching, he offers a highly practical, yet effective approach to yoga. His ultimate goal is to guide his clients in the development of a personal yoga practice that’s customized to their unique goals while fostering positive transformation on and off the mat.
