Trauma-Informed Monthly Book Club and Yoga Class (18+)
Trauma-informed yoga focuses on offering opportunities to establish a safe and positive connection to the body through mindful movement. It’s an invitation to bring exploration and play into the mind & body. No prior yoga experience is required.
This offering is a blend of two of my favorite things reading and yoga! Each month there will be a 30minute group discussion followed by an hour yoga class inspired by chosen book. The discussion and class will be held via zoom.
Each book was selected to explore topics around healing from trauma, increasing understanding of mind and body functioning, and increasing comfort in exploring one’s own sexuality.
(Journal prompts will be sent to individuals signed up on the 15th of each month. These questions are completely optional and meant to assist in exploring the material.)
BookClub & Yoga will be held from 6-7:30pm on the last Thursday of every month (Note: October’s class will vary). The date of each class will be listed next to each month’s book title below. This class is designed for those 18+.
