Yoga for Survivors (Trauma Informed Yoga)

"Trauma has a deep and long-lasting effect, from chemical and anatomical changes in the brain, to changes in our body's physiological systems, to the subjective impact on the experience of a survivor. Treatment for trauma must consider the person as a whole and address the broad-ranging effects of trauma on an individual. This needs to be done through an equal measure of patience, compassion, and gentleness. If we are to help people recover from the insidious violation of their humanity that is trauma, we must be able to offer a varied array of tools to aid in this task." - Bessel A. Van Der Kolk, MD

Join us for a virtual trauma-informed yoga for survivors session to end your day. We will begin 7PM and practice for approximately 1 hour. This space is open to members of the DU community who identify as a survivor of gender violence, as well as their friends, family, and loved ones.
