Trauma Sensitive Yoga Therapy Group

Enhance your healing while connecting safety and strength within your body and mind

Group Focus

Our trauma yoga group utilizes a trauma-sensitive and trauma-informed approach. Participants do not need to have any prior yoga practice or experience. We will be using the practice to develop an understanding of how to connect to our minds and our bodies in a mindful and intuitive way. The yoga-focused experience will be a gentle, slow paced practice that can be modified for each member depending on comfort and experience level.

Trauma Yoga Therapy aims to develop more of a mind/body connection, help participants feel more grounded, oriented, and present, while feeling safe in their bodies and balanced. Group will provide a space, if and when one is ready, to develop a sense of slowing their mind and body, reconnecting to their body, noticing any feelings that come up, and experiencing how slowing down and being in the present moment feels.

Group Structure

The group will include grounding and mindfulness exercises, intention setting, psycho-education on various topics such as: the mind-body connection, trauma goals of developing a sense of safety, reducing numbing, avoidance, distraction, increasing self-care, self connection, and self-compassion. Group will then include a gentle and slow paced yoga experience that will be able to be modified for those who are new to yoga, need modifications, and/or experience chronic pain or disability while also meeting the needs of those who have been practicing yoga for some time. After our experiential time we will have discussion and process time of our experience and a re-grounding closure exercise.

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

A book recommendation from therapist Megan Kolecke LCPC This is your “get out of a rut free” card! It is an easy and inviting read to spark your brain into action. Jen’s spicy humor is a great tool to gain perspective regarding ourselves and our environment – how those perspectives often get twisted and how to challenge those negative thoughts. If there’s one takeaway from the book, it’s that the caliber of positive energy we send out is what we can expect to get back in return. Sit back and take in this fun read; Jen has been there, done that, and will take you through her learning process with some motivation and butt-kicking thrown in.

How COVID-19 May Be Impacting Depression and Anxiety in Your Teen

Adolescence is a plethora of changes, trials, and moments of growth. We are influenced by our peers, family, and social media, as we attempt to discover more about who we are, what we want, and what we will become. These questions are hard enough by themselves, but, as many teens are unfortunately discovering, their difficulty can increase ten-fold in the midst of a universal pandemic. Your teen was likely pulled out of public school in lieu of a quarantined, online classroom in late March. Everyday activities like going to the movies or hanging out with friends became dangerous, even lethal. A dependence on electronics became greater than ever seen before, as, for many still, the internet is their strongest tie to the social world.
