Trauma-Informed Yoga at Riverbank in LA
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.

Radical Acceptance Group
A Process Group based on the book "Radical Acceptance" to awaken the compassion that heals fear and shame within us. Welcome to all levels of mindfulness and meditation practitioners, this group will meet once a week for a supported discussion based on teachings offered in "Radical Acceptance" and a related guided meditation. Each session, we will come together as a community to deepen our practice of Radical Acceptance. Through meditation, mindfulness practices, and learning to embody the healing power of compassion, we can discover the very real possibility of meeting imperfection in ourselves and others with courage and love and so transform our lives.
