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 Certified Yoga Therapist
-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.
