In my work with survivors of sexual and relationship violence, I have seen how culturally-sustaining and power-conscious services like trauma-healing yoga can foster radical healing. Engaging in yoga has been found to reduce the effects of trauma by decreasing post-traumatic stress and depressive symptoms. Yoga can also support connection to one’s body and can promote self-compassion.
Program structures include one-time trauma-informed yoga sessions and multi-week trauma-healing yoga series, typically ranging from 3 to 8 weeks. I teach virtual programs and series as well as in-person yoga sessions.
I cater to the specific needs of organizations and institutions in designing a trauma-informed yoga program that best suits your goals; I have collaborated with various departments (e.g. cultural centers, advocacy offices) on multiple campuses to lead trauma-healing yoga programs.
