Somatic Movement
Explore sensation, tension, emotion, and patterns through intentional movement and body awareness.
The Modern HumanAcademy
Ancient energy practices, taught for modern life.
The body holds more than physical tension. Stress, emotion, experience, and the patterns we develop over time can shape how we feel, respond, move, and relate to ourselves. The Modern Human Academy brings together somatics, nervous-system education, movement, breath, mindfulness, and ancient mind-body practices to help you understand what is happening within you and give you practical ways to work with it.

What I teach
Practices that bring you back into your body.
Our experiences can shape how we breathe, move, hold tension, respond to stress, and experience emotion. I use movement, breath, awareness, and mind-body practices to help you notice those patterns, understand them, and begin working with them through the body.
The practice changes depending on what you need—sometimes that means slowing down and regulating, sometimes releasing tension, and sometimes creating movement, energy, and a different way of responding.

The journey
The Experiences That Shape My Teaching
My education has taken me beyond certifications and studios. I’ve traveled to study, practice, and experience mind-body traditions within the cultures and environments that shaped them. These experiences continue to influence how I teach today—bringing together traditional practices, modern understanding, and years of hands-on teaching experience.

Reflections from people who have experienced this work.

Retreat
“I met Brittany at a retreat center in the Catskills in 2022. She was an extraordinary coach: present, open, and genuinely attentive. That retreat helped inspire me to continue exploring yoga, and four years later, I’ve just become a certified Kundalini yoga teacher. Anyone who has the chance to work with Brittany is lucky.”

Coaching
“Working with Brittany Rega has truly been life-changing for me. She created such a safe, supportive space where I’ve felt completely seen and accepted, while also gently challenging me to grow. Our work together has helped me trust myself again, set boundaries without guilt, and let go of the need to always take care of everyone else. I genuinely feel like a different—and much more grounded—version of myself.”
Lisanne Sobers
Martial arts instructor
Wellness coaching
“I was seeking guidance at a time when my life and mental state were chaotic. Brittany Rega taught me ways to calm my body’s nervous system and quiet my turbulent mind. She did not judge, she accepted me for who I am, and she saw me.”
Vanessa Hanson

Retreat program
“My first impactful connection with Brittany occurred during preparation calls for a retreat center’s “Find Your True Self” program. Brittany completely shifted my perspective by teaching me how to transmute energy through body movement. Whenever I felt I had hit my physical limit, Brittany gently nudged me to go a bit further. Her guidance helped me discover that my body is incredibly resilient and adaptable. I’m immensely grateful to have worked with Brittany—an experience that has brought me closer to my true self.”
Kaylee Nunez
College student
Mentorship
“Ms. Rega is my mentor, and she has been a source of guidance and support throughout my childhood and now into my young adulthood. As a child of immigrants, I did not always have the language or resources to understand mental health and emotional regulation. She taught me practices such as body tapping and yoga, and helped me become more aware of what I was feeling in my body. Those lessons became a foundation for how I care for myself today.”

1:1 & group sessions
“Getting to work with Brittany, both in a virtual 1:1 setting and in a group, has been one of the best experiences I’ve had. I connected with her during a time when I was feeling extremely overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious in my career. Through many guided sessions together, she provided a safe space and taught me so much valuable information and so many coping tools that I truly still use to this day, especially when times get tough. I would highly recommend working with her!”

Course
“I first did a course with Brittany in 2024, when life felt overwhelming. Two years later, I still practice Dahnjon tapping at least five times a week because it has been that impactful on my nervous system and overall regulation. I was a skeptic at first. Now I’m a big believer in the practice.”
Gail Pattay

Retreat
“Brittany Rega played a very big role in helping me make a life change. Within one month after joining her at a retreat, I created my plan for my yoga business, and it’s been successful ever since!”

Coaching
“We worked on meditations, tapping exercises, yoga, and understanding food and fitness. I found my smile and my heart for the passion I always had for health and fitness. I went back to college, finished my degree in one year, and now have three jobs in fitness and a freelance photography business. Brittany has been a part of my journey every step of the way.”

Retreat & healing sessions
“I first met Brittany at a retreat center in New York, at a time when I was experiencing a lot of dysfunction within myself, physically, mentally, and energetically. Brittany welcomed me with open arms. The many workshops and healing sessions we spent together were pivotal for my overall health and the discovery of my life path. Brittany has a wonderful combination of presence, empathy, and strength. She truly has your vision and well-being in mind as she guides you. I highly recommend Brittany for all your mind, body, and soul guidance!”

1:1 Coaching Options
Option 1
Somatic Nervous System Reset
A personalized mind-body session designed to help you slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with your body.
Read moreShow less
We begin with a personal energy and well-being assessment, exploring your current physical, mental, and emotional state, where you may be holding tension, and what you’re hoping to work through.
From there, we’ll move into guided somatic practices tailored to your needs. These may include breathwork, gentle movement, qigong, body awareness, meditation, and tapping to support nervous system regulation, ease tension, and develop greater awareness of your internal state.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what your body may be communicating and practical techniques you can continue using independently.
Option 2
Somatic Nervous System Reset Container
A five-session experience for those who want to move beyond a single reset and begin developing a more consistent relationship with their body, emotions, and nervous system.
Read moreShow less
Building on an initial assessment, we’ll explore how stress, emotional experiences, and habitual responses may be influencing your well-being. Each session creates space to recognize patterns, understand your body’s responses, and practice new ways of working with what arises.
Through a combination of somatic movement, breathwork, qigong, meditation, emotional awareness, and personalized practices, we’ll focus on strengthening your capacity to respond to stress, navigate difficult emotions, and reconnect with yourself.
Between sessions, you’ll receive simple integration practices to help bring what you’re learning into everyday life.
The intention is to develop greater self-awareness, emotional steadiness, and practical tools you can continue building upon.
Option 3
Somatic Nervous System Transformation Journey
An immersive ten-session journey for those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and a more intentional relationship with their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Read moreShow less
This extended experience allows us to explore the patterns and experiences that may be contributing to ongoing stress, emotional overwhelm, physical tension, or a sense of disconnection.
We begin by understanding where you are today, then gradually explore how your nervous system responds to different experiences, how emotions may be expressed through the body, and what patterns you may be ready to change.
Each session combines mind-body education, somatic practices, guided movement, breathwork, qigong, meditation, and personal reflection. As the journey progresses, practices are adapted to your needs, with integration exercises that support awareness and change between sessions.
Rather than focusing only on temporary relief, this journey is designed to help you build a sustainable foundation of self-understanding, nervous system awareness, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself.
