Heal from Trauma. Reclaim Your Peace. Rewrite Your Story.
You can love your children and your life deeply… and still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or on edge.
This isn’t because you’re broken — it’s because your nervous system has been wired for survival for far too long.
At Holistic Evolution Shala, I help hard-working moms who’ve experienced childhood trauma or CPTSD move from emotional exhaustion and disconnection to calm, connected, and confident living — through a trauma-informed blend of yoga, DBT skills, and supportive mentorship.

If you’ve tried therapy, self-help books, or coping strategies but still find yourself triggered in your relationships, you’re not alone. Healing after trauma isn’t just about talking through the past — it’s about rewiring how your body and mind experience the present.
That’s why I combine the wisdom of yoga with the practical tools of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Together, they create a grounded daily practice you can actually use when life feels overwhelming.
Imagine feeling:
-
Calm instead of reactive in hard conversations
-
Confident setting boundaries without fear of conflict
-
Connected to your kids and partner in a way that feels safe and nurturing
-
Clear about your needs and how to express them
Healing is possible — not through hustling harder, but through steady, compassionate practice.

Meet Mandi — Author, Guide, Survivor
I’m Mandi Gardner, a mom, wife, author of RISING: A Woman’s Journey of Healing Through Rituals, and founder of Holistic Evolution Shala.
For years, I carried the weight of childhood trauma — cycles of emotional disconnection, unhealthy relationships, and even a 20-year battle with alcoholism. Despite loving my family, I often felt distant and overwhelmed.
Everything shifted when I committed to my healing through Ashtanga yoga, DBT skills, and daily rituals. These tools not only helped me find peace, but they also gave me the courage to build a life of connection, sobriety, and joy.
Now, I share them with other women who are ready to stop surviving and start truly living.
Want to go deeper into my story? Explore my book RISING.You Don’t Have to Heal Alone
Healing after trauma is not a solo journey. You deserve guidance, community, and practices that support your whole being.
Whether you begin with my free guide, join a workshop, or step into the mentorship, know this: you are not broken, and peace is possible.

"This program was thoughtfully designed for you to learn, grow and apply yoga techniques and DBT skills. The DBT skills were a game changer for me, they empowered me to make changes in my personal life. Mandi gives real life experiences and examples that directly taught me. Hearing from the group gave me confidence I wasn't alone. This course truly helped me create more self-control and better relationships. It offered so many answers and validations I had been seeking to find and learn. I'm forever grateful for Mandi. Mandi gives you everything you could need and more: step-by-step guides, practice worksheets, and videos. She really does prepare you and give you the tools needed to succeed. She offered personal support along the way, and you can feel she really does mean it. This course is a true revolution for healing relationships, trauma and overall happiness and well-being in life. It truly does give you a whole new life, I'm not just saying it. If you follow the course and do the yoga, your life will change right in front of your eyes. It's not a quick easy fix but it's permanent changes and skills you can use forever."
Testimonial
YOGA INSTRUCTOR
 "In addition to the life changing content, Mandi has a way of creating a safe and inclusive environment where everyone can express themselves as much or as little as they feel inspired to. She shares personal experiences that I really resonated with and that helped me understand the content even more. The yoga was challenging for me as someone with limited strength and flexibility, but just taking the time to be in my body, whether I was able to do all of the poses or not, was incredibly helpful to me. After just a few short weeks, I can see why Mandi has chosen to incorporate yoga into the course. A powerful combination indeed."
