Together, we can truly create change and provide healing in the Yoga/movement space: mind, body and spirit.
This course will discuss the latest scientific research on trauma and how we can apply these findings to our Yoga practice both as teachers and students. Working somatically (through the body) we will also explore flow sequencing, breathing and meditation techniques to release chronically held tension and the negative thought patterns that follow a traumatic event.
In understanding how we process trauma, we can slowly begin to unravel the layers for our own healing. Through Yoga, we begin to re-connect to our selves, our breath and the present moment. While there are many paths for healing, incorporating somatic work, through the body will help us complete this cycle.
This course is open to everyone with a desire to deepen their understanding on how the body holds and processes trauma. Experience with Yoga while recommended, is not required.
