This trauma-informed yoga class will be a gentle to moderate movement class with a focus on regulating the nervous system, connecting to the senses, and increasing awareness of our body. This class is based on the principles of Somatic Experiencing, a trauma recovery framework and Hatha Yoga. Participants will practice mindfulness, breathing, and movement to cultivate wellbeing and resilience.
