A six-week series
This is a confidential yoga series for women survivors of trauma. The series is led by Jennifer Duncan, a trauma-informed yoga certified teacher.
No prior yoga experience is needed.
Trauma-informed helps survivors of trauma connect their minds and bodies in ways that feel secure.
This kind of yoga is unique in that it is invitational and nondirective. Your teacher will not be doing hands-on guidance, for example. The focus is not on doing the pose “right” – it is about connecting the mind and body in ways that feel secure.
The studio will become a supportive environment for participants to practice the following:
Present moment experiences: being mindful of thoughts and feelings in the here and now
Grounding: practicing the realization that you are in your body here and now in a way that feels secure
Interoception: awareness of body sensations and breath
Exercising Agency: making choices for themselves and their bodies
Participants will also learn tools to self-regulate their emotions on and off the mat.
Participants should make all efforts to attend each class. The series cost for nonmembers is $120. The cost for members is reduced. Please email Stephen and Holly for details at EveryBodyYogaBradenton@gmail.com.
