Please join us for this 3-hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Workshop for women, based on the work of Arielle Schwartz. This gentle yoga class will be led by 15+ year seasoned trauma clinician Sumiaya Caughey, LCPC, who is also a Registered Yoga Teacher. She has a phenomenally self-led presence that group members will find comforting and healing. All sizes and skill levels are welcome. This workshop is meant for all who seek to learn new ways to self-regulate. Beginners welcome.

Through mindful movement and meditation, learn how to safely mobilize and regulate the body & mind. We will teach energizing breath and movements that focus on strength through grounding. Therapeutic yoga is tremendously effective, in part because of how yoga interacts with your vagus nerve. Your yoga practice helps you to become increasingly flexible…not just in the physical body but in your nervous system. This will help you become skilled at switching between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems with greater ease and choice.
