Healing-Centred Yoga for Survivors and Allies
Vancouver Campus | 1:45pm–2:45pm
Hatha Yoga
Traumas can disrupt the ways in which we're able to connect with our body. Students are invited to come and join in a slow and gentle hatha yoga class designed specifically to assist survivors. With a focus on breath and mental presence we will move through a series of postures called āsanas. This balance of presence, breath and slow, intentional movement can assist in forging a relationship with the body rooted in trust and self-empowerment. Join SVPRO for an afternoon with Kendra Coupland.
Mats and chairs will be provided. Register here.
