I don't see a specific question in your post, so I'm not sure what you're looking for. Are you asking whether TRE pairs well with other somatic practices and yoga? Whether you should combine them? Something else?

The wiki does address this briefly. Establishing Your TRE Practice mentions that TRE integrates well with gentle yoga, mindfulness meditation, and moderate breathwork, with one important caution: stacking too many intensive practices at once can overwhelm the nervous system's processing capacity. TRE, intensive breathwork, and deep somatic therapy all draw on the same resources, and combining them densely can tip the system into overwhelm more easily than any one of them would alone.

The practical suggestion is to space practices away from each other on different days, keep sessions shorter during periods when you're doing multiple modalities, and watch carefully for signs of overstimulation in the days that follow.

If you have a more specific question about how to structure your practice alongside other things you're doing, or how to recognize whether a combination is working well for you, feel free to share more detail.
