Please join us for an hour long practice of yoga for trauma. Through yoga asana, we explore movement that feels good, okay, or “less bad” in our bodies. Through breathing techniques and meditation, we maintain a healthy nervous system. This class is designed to help relieve the effects of trauma, stress, depression and anxiety. Many of these practices help restore a sense of agency and being “safe enough” in our bodies. You can choose your own adventure and take the practice at your own pace. We aim to leave the space feeling more centered, relaxed, and present. Rest and breaks are encouraged, and you can always leave the space if you need to.
The Practice Coalition centers those who have experienced intimate partner and/or sexual violence. This is a space for trauma survivors who are curious about yoga as a healing practice. Those who have experienced any form of trauma, or no trauma at all, are welcome. There are no hands-on assists in this class. Beginners are welcome. All genders are welcome.
