Trauma informed yoga is different than other approaches to yoga in the
way it is taught, approached, and practiced. Unlike traditional yoga
classes, trauma informed classes emphasize the connection between your
body and the movement that is informed by the participants choice.
Within a class, students are guided through shapes and in the processes
encouraged to listen to their own bodies making movements, changes, and
alterations as necessary. This style of yoga values the importance of
diversity, creating an environment of safety, and offers skills and
practices that have been shown to create lasting and powerful healing in
those who have experienced trauma of all levels.
