Jenn Wooten (she/her)

E-RYT and C-IAYT
Hello and welcome! I am a certified yoga therapist, trauma-informed yoga teacher and teacher trainer, and the founder of Viasomatic. I've spent 30 years studying holistic, mind-body, and somatic practices for trauma healing and nervous system resilience. 

As a child I was captivated by the natural sciences and the human body. I spent many of my formative adolescent years after school in a rehab center with my sister, after she suffered a traumatic brain injury, observing movement specialists who helped people rebuild their lives after traumatic experiences.

E-RYT and C-IAYT
I'm Sam Pullen, a Louisiana native who now calls Austin home. I'm a 500-hour RYT Yoga Teacher and a certified Yoga Therapist specializing in helping individuals and groups navigate the challenges of stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My heart is deeply connected to the world of yoga and I'm on a mission to share its incredible benefits with all who cross my path. My main goal is to provide a safe, nurturing space where you can explore asanas, discover the power of breathwork, find stillness in meditation, and even embrace the soothing tones of sound therapy and guided meditation. I'm here to guide you as we explore what works best for your own nervous system regulation. [... more]

Why We Do What We Do...

It is continuously a process, but learning how to reconnect with my nervous system in moments of distress has allowed stress to move through me instead of remaining stuck in my shoulders, hips, or back of the heart. Engaging with my body through the lens of yoga therapy and working with Jenn from Viasomatic has completely shifted my awareness of how I respond to stress, triggers and process complex emotions.

AILISHA M

Doing this work literally saved my life! I became equipped with tools to bring myself back to center when things feel out of control and my whole life transformed. Scary episodes began to disappear altogether as I developed an inner knowing that whatever happens, I know how to handle it.

RITA A
I started working with Viasomatic with the hope that I could have less anxiety and feel better. I have a history of complex trauma and that has impacted my life in many ways. Working with Viasomatic has given me the tools help me regulate my nervous system and move into a more comfortable place in my body. This has been life-changing for me!
SARAH S
I started yoga therapy to address chronic anxiety and rumination that has been with me since I was a child. After my first session, I felt an influx of relief, which manifested as tender and comprehensive self-compassion. Further sessions continued to expand my capacity for embodiment and self-love, two things that my traumatic experiences had taken from me a long time ago. Since finishing my work in yoga therapy I’ve been able to savor true presence in my life, which has revolutionized my experience as a mother in particular.
LAUREN F
My experience with Jenn has been tremendously positive. I have learned a lot on how to regulate my nervous system with her Viasomatic therapy. The impact of the tools that I received from her sessions has changed the awareness of my body as a whole. I feel more in charge when any challenges arrive and how I react to it.
FABIANA R
My goals going in were primarily to work through trauma and generally feel balanced so that I am able to regulate my body. I felt seen, safe, and comfortable. Jenn's ability to pull things out of me that I was oblivious to was amazing. She brought feelings and experiences that I was holding in my body to the surface, and then helped me work through them physically.
I have never experienced anything like that before.
ALEJANDRA W
Being in this training as a yoga teacher and a new mother has granted me so much emotional freedom. It was truly a blessing for the stage I am currently in life. I am able to now take a step back and reassess a triggering situation without an immediate reaction. I am better able to facilitate movement and self-regulation tools for my students and can recognize when someone comes into class dysregulated and how to navigate it.
MELISSA, REGISTERED YOGA TEACHER
This program should be mandatory for life. It's a framework for understanding and appreciating not only my nervous system, but also those around me. This single thing was huge. It made me much less reactive to others and helped me be much more compassionate in situations that I would have previously been dismissive or defensive about.
