Anne offers Restorative Yoga and Trauma Inform Yoga.

 

As research explains, we hold our trauma and experiences in our bodies. Trauma-conscious yoga offers an individual a safe space for somatic processing.  Trauma informed yoga is much more than holding a pose, we may learn a supportive mudra (hand gesture), a new pranayama (breath) or a calming chant or healing affirmation.  When poses are used, they are gentle and respectful.  Trauma-conscious yoga's focus is to restore one's sense of empowerment and self-agency.   All clients can benefit from yoga therapy.

​
