Befriending your body is an online, 8-week, trauma-informed yoga and therapy group designed to support you in reconnecting to your body’s needs.

September 16th-November 4th:
Tuesdays at 3-5:30pm PST/6-8:30pm EST

If you’re recovering from stress, trauma, burnout or illness, this group is for you. You will be gently guided to (re)learn the language of your own body by listening and responding with compassion within the container of a supportive, confidential small group. We’ll explore:

  • How to identify and respond to your body’s boundaries

  • The qualities of various nervous system states including fight, flight, freeze, fawn and collapse

  • Practices that support rest, healing, reflection, and action
