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.
