Trauma Informed Yoga
(TIY) is an evidence based somatic practice that gives complete power and choice to the student, while offering opportunities to turn inward and reconnect with oneself. TIY is not about getting the shape “right” - it’s about being with yourself in the moment, just as you are. These classes move at a slower pace so you have time to feel and be with with yourself. You are encouraged to choose what is best for you. Your autonomy and innate sovereignty are always honored.

Seeking Safety | ventral vagus nerve stimulation
Your Ventral Vagus nerve is the piece of your nervous system that allows you to feel safe, at rest, and connected with others.
