Yoga to Transform Trauma is a donation-based and confidential class for anyone directly or vicariously effected by any kind of trauma. This 90 minute session will include a safe space for meditation, journaling and a trauma informed movement practice that is inclusive to all bodies.

Trauma has many faces and touches millions of lives, from living through a global pandemic, childhood abuse, grief, car accidents, medical procedures, academic challenges and violence, it doesn’t discriminate our background. Trauma can happen directly to an individual, as well as the vicarious trauma that happens to an individual’s loved ones. The effects can be life long and have dramatic effects.

Trauma separates us from our bodies, our true selves and from others. The wisdom and practice of yoga has the transformative ability to reconnect us to ourselves, our bodies and the world around us. As a trauma survivor herself, Kim will lovingly guide the circle through practices as part of the recovery process.
