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.

Kendra Coupland is a sādhaka, meditation coach and multi-disciplinary artist living and working on unceded Coast Salish territory, in particular, the traditional lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, səl̓ílwətaɬ, kʷikʷəƛ̓əm, Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm and Stó:lō people. Experiencing the world as a queer woman of colour, and survivor of childhood sexual assault Kendra brings a compassionate trauma-informed and intersectional framework to her practice.  She is constantly striving to create safer spaces for folks who experience marginalization and systemic violence, to practice self-liberation within the yogic community.
