About this session

Disconnection from the body is a common feature of PTSD. Through trauma-focused, and trauma-informed yoga, we can learn to better connect with the body and find solace within. Through practice, we cultivate our relationship with our body so that it can become a place of safety and nourishment instead of a place of fear.
