Somatic Interventions For Vicarious Trauma:End the day with soothing movements and postures to help regulate an over-stimulated nervous system, help to tame a ruminating mind, and release stagnant energy that often builds up from chronic stress or exposure to stress. This class will include a combination of evidence-based Yoga, Tai chi, and mindfulness practices for stress-reduction promoting healing and resilience. Leave feeling more centered, clear, and better prepared to maintain personal health while meeting the demands of trauma-informed professionalism. (No experience necessary.) Meet your Instructors:
