Resilient Yoga-Friendships Unlimited
A trauma informed approach to yoga makes practice safer and more accessible through intentional language and movement. A certified yoga therapist has received additional training around potential trauma triggers in certain demographics as compared to standard certification. When we live through traumatic experiences, as our community has done, it changes how we interact with the world. Our minds may adapt by reliving the past, disconnecting from our bodies, or becoming hyper alert of what might happen in the future. As adaptations help us survive traumatic experiences, they can make it hard to live in the present and feel like we’re in control of our lives. In this class, participants will be guided through gentle moving yoga poses that will help you strengthen your body, be mindful of your breath and help build energy.These yoga sessions are for Friendships Unlimited members affected by the 2021 Waukesha Christmas Parade and will take place Tuesday mornings from 9:30-10:30 am at Friendships Unlimited in Waukesha. All programming is free of charge.
