Space To Breathe: 6 Week Trauma-Informed Yoga Practice

This 6-week series offers participants a safe space to re-connect with their healing energy through yoga. Being present with breath, movement, and stillness, in the safety of the here-and-now, invites the opportunity to heal from past traumas. The path of healing involves regulating the nervous system—being aware of internal sensations, feelings, and thoughts and re-patterning responses so that they are consistent with the safety of the present moment. Yoga, an evidence-based practice for treating the effects of trauma, helps us do this.

What you can expect: -6 weekly, 60 minute, in-person yoga sessions at Nourish and Move, led by Dr. Beth Christiano, a Clinical Psychologist, Registered Yoga Teacher (200 RYT), and Yoga Therapist (IATY) -Access to a video recording of the instructor doing the practice, to use at home between in-person sessions -A small group setting, limited to 8 participants -Access to yoga mats, yoga blocks, and blankets (of course, you may also choose to bring your own) -A safe, non-judgmental space, in which you may choose to be aware of the present experiences of your body, breath, and mind

What this practice is NOT: -This practice is not group therapy or talk therapy. -You are not expected to and will not be asked to share your story or any personal details of your life. -You will not be videotaped or audio recorded. -The focus is not on physical exercise, per se, but rather on the present experience of body, breath, and mind. -There is not an expectation that participants have previous experience with yoga.
