Trauma Aware Yoga Workshop Series

- Empowered and inclusive language
- Art of assisting and holding safe space
- Invitation of postures
- Breath and trauma
- Sensitivity to Triggers (Trauma Informed Mindfulness)
Join us for this fascinating workshop to learn more about the Neuroscience behind Trauma and how Yoga can help. The topic is especially relevant in our current era of the COVID Pandemic, where everyone is experiencing some form of collective and individual traumas. You’ll learn various yogic methods that can be helpful for personal coping and supporting others.

Often instructors encourage us to grab a block, bolster, blanket, or strap for our yoga practice. Many of us have wondered what to do with them, which ones to use, and when to use them. In this workshop, we will creatively explore how to use props in a playful, safe, practical, and insightful way. Please come with a few postures in mind that you’d like to explore using a prop to assist you.
Bring your own yoga props if you have them (blocks, bolster, blanket and strap). If you don’t have props that’s okay – we will have extras available that you are welcome to use. We also have props available for sale if you’d like to buy some while you’re there for the workshop.
