Trauma Informed Yoga Workshop

In this workshop together we will explore how trauma manifests in the mind, body, and spirit, and understand how the powerful practice of yoga can support those who are survivors of trauma. This space is open not only for yoga teachers and practitioners, but also those who work with or care for others who have experienced trauma. Being trauma informed means offering choices! Feel free to come as you are and learn more about ways to foster a trauma informed space while understanding how to better heal yourself.
