Gentle Trauma Informed Yoga and Yoga Nidra (Guided Meditation)

Designed with care and compassion, this class offers a supportive space for individuals to embark on a healing journey, integrating the mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, this offering is open to everyone who seeks to heal from past traumas and cultivate resilience.

In these classes, we combine the therapeutic benefits of yoga with trauma-informed practices to create a supportive environment that promotes healing and growth. Our certified instructors have extensive training in trauma sensitivity, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet the unique needs and experiences of every participant.

Throughout the classes, you will learn grounding techniques and mindfulness practices to reconnect with your body and cultivate present-moment awareness. We'll explore gentle yoga postures for the first 20-25 minutes that support relaxation, release tension, and promote physical and emotional well-being. The following hour will be a 45-55 minute yoga nidra experience.

Participants will experience trauma-informed breathwork exercises to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote emotional balance and learn to cultivate self-compassion and develop tools for self-care, empowering you to navigate challenges with resilience. The entire ninety-minute experience involves journal prompts for nervous system self-care, gentle movement and ends with yoga nidra, a passive yoga practice that involves being positioned in a restful position while being guided through a guided body scan meditation to promote mindful and restful awareness.

Come learn how to make healthy decisions for yourself on and off the mat.

Cost: $20.00

We will be in the downstair studio in Studio B at Joy of Yoga.
