Trauma Focused Support Groups in Los Angeles, CA

Trauma-informed yoga is based on a particular understanding of trauma, one that emphasizes its impact on the entire mind-body system. "Trauma," Bessel van der Kolk explains, "is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body." This slow, gentle style of yoga will incorporate practices utilized in EMDR therapy and help to active the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for deep rest and relaxation. This class is open to all- whether you are healing from trauma or just looking to decompress from stress and anxiety.

Focused on understanding the interpersonal patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that get in the way of having the closeness, intimacy, and connection you are seeking in all areas of your life. The group helps you make here and-now emotional self-disclosures by putting your thoughts and feelings within yourself AND toward others into words as you become aware of them in the moment, as well as learning to give and receive interpersonal feedback. Through the group process we work towards resolving long standing barriers to intimacy, generating new ways of relating to oneself and others that create more nourishing relationships, and feeling most authentically you.
