Did you know?.. When we experience a trauma it is stored in multiple areas of the brain, fragmented, like a puzzle whose pieces are scattered about. It is stored in the muscles and connective tissue of the body in the form of body memory, tension and/or pain. Making traditional talk therapy techniques limited in how they can alleviate the distress from the trauma.
Yoga guided by a trauma informed and trained facilitator provides the chance to break past that limit, and all this is what our upcoming series is all about
Here's what our time will look like together...
This program is for you if...
Join Kierstin virtually for a 60 minute 5week Trauma Sensitive Yoga series. TSY is a clinical adaptation of a hatha yoga practice designed to help you increase body awareness, learn to release tension, reduce and control fear and arousal, and tolerate sensation.
You can expect the classes to offer opportunity for exploration, choice, and drawing awareness to physical sensations. This practice is not alignment focused and will have an embodied focus on what the yoga shapes feel like vs look like.
Kierstin will teach this series from a mat but adaptations and variations can be provided for a chair.
This will be live streamed and your link will be provided to you in your welcome email before the week the series starts. Playback of teacher only will be provided. Students may keep their camera off if they prefer.

RYT E-500, YACEP, yoga therapist
As a trauma informed therapeutic yoga teacher I see the strength in empowering a person to find what feels supportive to them. To foster their choice and experience by holding space for their curiosity and exploration vs. judgement.
I believe that this experience can begin to translate off the mat and be integral to someone's journey and recovery.
This is an educational and experiential yoga + movement workshop and is not mental health therapy. This workshop is for educational purposes and serves as an adjunct service for any mental health work you may be doing. We will not be assessing, diagnosing, or treating.
Is this therapy?
Our classes and series are open to the public. For each series in the description we provide a "Is this series for you.." with some more information about that exact series
Who can attend a series?
Our yoga and meditations aim to be accessible meaning we teach by making yoga shapes accessible to your body utilizing supports.
This will be a mat yoga class specifically. Range of motion and ability that allows for getting down and up from the flow will be needed. A chair version of this program is in development.
What if I have never done yoga or meditation before?
We understand that financial hardships can impact your ability to attend a program. We offer 1 full scholarship spot for each offering and provide payment plan option so you can break up the payments. Please reach out for more information admin@angeleaprior.com.
