Trauma Informed Yoga
This program is designed specifically for school-aged children and young adults who have experienced or are currently experiencing the effects of trauma.
​
Our goal is to unite the body with the mind to create balance. Mental stress can, and will manifest itself into physical ailments. The core elements of yoga practice, such as breathwork, postures, meditation and nutrition, help equip youth with the coping skills to handle stress and trauma responses.
A trauma-informed yoga practice will strengthen the mind and body connection, helping to reduce overstimulation and reactivity and encourage relaxation. Yoga can help give youth the power to reclaim control of their bodies and experiences.
Our methodology is to move the mind as well as the body. If you are not in control of your mind and body, who is?
There are two groups available:
​
-
Littles Yoga - designed for elementary-aged children (kindergarten through fifth grade). Children learn how to express their emotions, where they feel them in their bodies, and how to calm down.
-
Middle School Yoga - designed for middle school-aged children (6th to 8th grade), who first engage in discussion, sharing highs and lows, and learning how their emotions manifest in their bodies.
