Alicia Taraji

Alicia Taraji specializes in trauma recovery through embodied practices, understanding that trauma lives in the body and requires holistic, somatic approaches to heal. She integrates Somatic Experience, Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), NeuroMeditation (NMI-2), breathwork to energize, balance, and relax, self-care education, and art therapy to support individuals in reclaiming safety, connection, and resilience.

Deeply committed to honoring the roots of yoga while making it accessible to all, Alicia holds certifications as an RYT-500, E-RYT-200, and YACEP teacher. She trained in Yoga and Meditation with Shambhavananda Yoga and is a certified breathing instructor through YOGABODY and the Arhanta Ashram.

Alicia is part of the Trauma Center–Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) program at the Center for Trauma & Embodiment at JRI, bringing this evidence-based approach to her work with survivors of complex trauma. She also holds certifications in Traumatic Stress Studies and Art Therapy Facilitation from the Trauma Research Foundation, grounding her practice in research-backed, creative, and client-centered modalities.

Alicia is a Somatic Experience practitioner with Somatic Experiencing International. She is dedicated to continuously studying how traumatic experiences affect physical, emotional, and social processes, and how people can access their innate capacity to heal through the body's natural healing mechanisms.

She has experience working with women and non-binary people who have survived violence, women deprived of their liberty, offering individual sessions, group classes, and online programs.
