Yoga for Presence ~ Land and locate relief for anxiety

Website Registration: Trauma Sensitive Yoga West

*Please note registration closes Monday January 6, 2025 at 11:59 am MT

Starting the new year can feel like a time to reset and look ahead. There are many gifts within that and sometimes it can invoke anxiety.

Anxiety can feel different for different bodies: tightness in the chest, quickened heart rate, rapid thoughts, a sense of urgency or overwhelm, sweaty palms and more. It can tend to pull us into the future, which might be based on what’s happened in the past or due to uncertainty.

This is a time to practice being together. The class series aims to relieve anxiety, applying a trauma informed lens to somatic yoga practices. The slow and gentle pace encourages people to sustain presence in the moment through cueing and choice. Somatic resources that could be engaged with outside of the class setting will be offered.

Begin your year with intention and start with a practice of self-care within a container of collective care.
Start your week on Monday nights by taking some time for yourself, your choices, and your body.

This class is accessible for all different bodies. You do not need to be navigating anxiety to attend. All are welcome.

The value of the class series is $45 CAD, however we offer a self-determined way to invest in the training based on your access to financial and social resources. All participants receive the same access to training material.

The scale is based on your self-determined access to resources, privilege, and social capital. In your self-determination, please consider your positionality of privilege. You are encouraged to self-assess this based on aspects of your personhood (e.g. race, gender & sexual identity, socio-economic status, educational background, and/or able-bodied-ness, etc.) that do, or do not, grant you access to social and financial capital.

Facilitator:

Nicola will be integrating Trauma Center-Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Somatic Yoga, Somatic Experiencing, and poetry to support this experience. She is trained and certified in the modalities listed above.
