Trauma-Informed Yoga
Workshops and series available for studios & places of work.
These classes are taught from a trauma-sensitive lens, allowing participants choice, and agency over their bodies and practice.
​Yoga can be extremely beneficial in helping regulate your nervous system, find safety within your body, and can contribute to post-traumatic growth. It can also offer a safe container to explore feelings and sensations & can help us connect to a sense of community.
​
If you are a studio owner, I also offer workshops on trauma and trauma-informed yoga to YTT and current teachers.
My Yoga Journey
Thanks to my mom's love of yoga and her dedication to her own personal practice, I was introduced to it at a young age. Since then, I've been practicing for over 17 years. I teach in a trauma-informed and embodied way and always invite my students to cultivate a version of their yoga practice that makes sense to their own unique body, mind and spirit. I am mainly trained in Hatha, Vinyasa and Yoga Nidra.
