Free Resource for Therapists
Kosha Intervention Library
257 somatic, creative, and contemplative practices mapped to your nervous system state and kosha layer. A clinician-curated, growing resource for therapists and healers.
The Kosha-in-Environment Approach
The Kosha-in-Environment model integrates yoga therapy's five layers of being (koshas) with polyvagal theory and somatic awareness to create a comprehensive framework for understanding and supporting nervous system health.
Each practice in this library is mapped to both a nervous system state and a kosha layer, so you can find the right intervention for exactly where you (or your client) are in any given moment.
This is the same framework taught in the Yoga for Mental Health CE course and practiced at the Body Compassion Project retreat.
You can simply imagine the postures for similar neurological benefits. Choice is always centered.

1. Choose your nervous system state
Your system is conserving energy to protect you. These practices offer soft, low-demand steps that gently re-engage your body or environment.
2. Choose a kosha layer
The physical layer. Practices that work with sensation, movement, posture, and the body as it is.

How to Use the Library
A simple clinical workflow for selecting the right intervention.
Identify the Kosha Layer
Determine which layer of experience is most relevant for your client right now. Are they stuck in the body? Disconnected from breath? Overwhelmed in the mind?
Assess Nervous System State
Notice whether your client is in low energy (freeze/collapse), high activation (fight/flight), mixed, or connected. This guides intervention selection.
Select the Intervention
Choose a practice from the library that matches the kosha layer and nervous system state. Each intervention includes guidance on adaptation and research references.
Practice and Integrate
Guide the intervention with your client, then process the experience together. Remember: imagining the movement offers similar neurological benefits. Choice is always centered.
See It in Action
Kanjana uses this framework in her group practice at Healing Hearts Wellness. When you train with Wanderhome, you learn to offer similar programming for the populations you work with.
Therapeutic Yoga Groups
Trauma-sensitive yoga groups for college counseling centers, community mental health, and private practice settings. Research-backed and adaptable to any population.
Nervous System Mapping
A clinical assessment tool that helps clients identify their nervous system patterns and build a personalized regulation toolkit using the kosha framework.
Somatic Group Programming
Breathwork, creative expression, and body-based groups designed for therapists who want to add somatic interventions to their existing group offerings.
Grounded in Research
The practices in this library draw from polyvagal theory (Porges), interoceptive research (Khalsa, Mehling), somatic psychology (Payne, Levine), self-compassion science (Neff), cognitive defusion (Hayes), and yoga therapy research including Kanjana's own published work examining the efficacy of therapeutic yoga groups in college counseling settings.
Every practice is designed with choice, consent, and neurodivergent-friendly principles at the center. You can always imagine the movement instead of performing it for similar neurological benefits.
Clinical Note: The Kosha Intervention Library is designed for licensed mental health professionals and trained yoga therapists. These practices are clinical tools, not therapy substitutes. Always use within your scope of practice and with appropriate clinical judgment. This library is hand-curated by a clinician.
