Join us for an empowering online event focused on healing through yoga. This workshop is designed specifically for trauma survivors, providing a safe space to explore healing from trauma through connection to your body and heart center.

Yoga for Trauma Survivors groups include a number of specific resources and practices designed to support trauma survivors in healing their trauma through a journey of self-reflection, embodiment and self-development.

Yoga for Trauma Healing: Move Through Shame is a three-week therapeutic group utilizing the healing modality,The Trauma-Conscious Yoga MethodⓇ (TCYM).

This group will explore how shame develops from trauma, how to identify and work with the emotion of shame and increase understanding of shame in relation to the nervous system. The intention will be to increase awareness and build skills to move through shame when it arises in your daily life.
Shame is part of the freeze response in your nervous system so through conscious movement and awareness you can melt this response in your body so shame no longer keeps you stuck.

Once you’re no longer in freeze it creates space for that energy to flow!

Each of the 3 group sessions contains:

• Cultivating community and building connections
• Affect regulationresourcing, grounding and containment practices
• Psychoeducation/Dharma Talks:a variety of topics related to yoga, psychology, somatics and trauma/nervous system are explained in a digestible way to empower clients with information and increase their self-awareness
• Yoga pranayama(these are the breathing practices within yoga)- these practices aim to help tone the vagus nerve, regulate the nervous system, and improve overall health
• Mindfulness practices–these practices aim to help with distress tolerance and aim to decrease tendencies to dissociate; they aim to foster presence, focus, increased awareness and overall feelings of well-being
• Yoga asana (these are the poses and movement practiced within yoga)- paired with pranayama practice, these practices aim to help regulate the nervous system and increase embodiment, and potentially discharge trauma in the body when necessary
• Yoga mudra(these are hand gestures practiced in yoga)- aiming to increase mindfulness, presence and embodiment
• Intuitive movement-aiming to help clients learn to listen to their bodies, increase embodiment, and potentially metabolize trauma in the body if necessary
• Somatic practices-these practices aim to support clients in distress tolerance and trauma healing
