Yoga for Trauma Weekend Workshop with Tools for Inner Peace
Friday June 21- Sunday June 23
Lockerbrook Residential Centre, Snake Pass, Bamford, Hope Valley S33 0BJ
Join us for a workshop on the neuroscience of trauma recovery and how to teach trauma-informed yoga. Experience its benefits on body, breath and mind through gentle asana, pranayama, yoga nidra and meditation.
This weekend is open to everyone wishing to teach yoga to refugees or other trauma survivors. It’s also suited for those who want to learn how to use their body, breath and awareness to overcome and heal from their own stress and trauma.
Asana, pranayama, yoga nidra and meditation are combined with theory and an understanding of how trauma affects your physiology and psychology, as well as how yogic practices can support your capacity to find balance and restore resilience.
Sessions include:
Yoga for renegotiating trauma and connecting with the body
Freeing up the breath and letting go of tensions
Orienting to the present and environment of safety
Understanding the neuroscience of trauma
Learning the signs and symptoms of trauma
Trauma “First Aid”
