Yoga and Trauma Resolution 6-week Series 

 

The Tristate Trauma Network and its initial and longest-standing funder, Interact for Health, are committed to increasing the practice of trauma-responsive care in our community.  Trauma-responsive care goes beyond understanding trauma and its effects to providing interventions that seek to alleviate trauma symptoms and lead to a higher level of functioning. One of the techniques gaining notoriety and momentum, as well as research backing, is Yoga that is specifc to trauma resolution.

***TTN Members ONLY are welcome to join us for this 6-week, experiential, intensive experience with local Certified Yoga Instructor and Miami University Adjunct Professor, Anne Minter.  

This is a 6-week course on the topic of yoga and trauma. We will meet 6 times in 2018, to engage with this topic, offering a combined lecture/practice (yoga class) experience at each meeting. Participants will gain knowledge on the relationship between yoga and trauma, and in-body experience of that knowledge through the evidence-based yoga practices specific for the treatment of trauma. In addition, participants will have weekly reading on trauma-related topics and optional short writing/reflection/response assignments.
