"The nervous system alerts to novelty and defaults to the known. We get good at whatever we make our regular practice, so we must practice intelligently."- Kim Schwartz
About Rai Somatic Therapeutics
E.Rai started learning and practicing yoga in 2008, as a life-affirming practice that aided in overcoming autoimmune thyroiditis, chronic endocrine issues, and stabilizing the nervous system for long-term maintenance and care. Their passion for yoga propelled them to complete Trauma Informed yoga therapy certifications through Sundara Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy. Over the course of their journey, they completed a total of five yoga certification programs, accumulating over 700 hours of certification as a certified RYT.
In 2018, they launched integrative somatic sessions in outpatient programs for adults in Albuquerque, NM. In 2019, they continued to expand into working within Intensive Inpatient adult behavioral health hospitals specializing in crisis care in Albuquerque. From 2019 to 2023, the project expanded into working with detox patients and those in Intensive Outpatient Programs. In 2023, Rai began offering somatic integrative therapeutic sessions to children and adolescents within acute care inpatient behavioral hospitals and partial hospitalization outpatient programs.
In 2025, they began studying Polyvagal Theory more comprehensively with Steven Porges alongside nine experts in the field of neuroscience, healthcare, and therapeutics at the Polyvagal Institute. In 2026, E.Rai has official certification in PVT through the Polyvagal Institute.
With over 16 years of teaching experience, Rai is dedicated to creating dynamic, informative sessions devoted to bringing relief, compassion, and education to all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Somatic Education?
Somatic therapeutics focuses on many different practices that aid in connecting the body and mind to promote healing, relief and regulation.
What is Polyvagal theory?
Polyvagal Theory explains how the autonomic nervous system perceives safety and threat, shaping our emotional and physiological responses.
Foundational concepts within PVI are:
Neuroception: The nervous system's unconscious process of evaluating risk and safety in the environment.
Hierarchy: A three-tiered system of survival and connection responses within the autonomic nervous system
Co-regulation: The biological need to feel calmed and grounded through interaction with safe people
PVI helps explain perceptions of threat not as a choice, but as an automatic physiological state of dysregulation. Working with the nervous system involves using somatic tools: like breathwork, expressing safe social cues, and grounding exercises; to signal safety to the body and return to a balanced homeostatic state of harmony
Who can benefit from this?
Everyone with a nervous system! It is wonderful for parents, individuals who live busy lives, healthcare workers, Individuals recovering from addiction and trauma. Somatic bottom-up directed sessions work synergistically with those working to stabilize behavioral health conditions(who are currently within a specialized mental health outpatient program or working with a mental health provider).
Everyone can greatly benefit from integrative somatic approaches and nervous system education within their daily lives.
