This unique class is for anyone who is on a path to recovering from physical or emotional trauma. The class aims to give participants tools to understand how trauma affects the body, to move through embodied trauma (trauma stored in the body) through movement. Trauma may seem like a loaded word, but it is something that affects many of us through major losses, accidents, violence, or other major life stresses.
Embodiment for Trauma Recovery consists of very gentle movements, simple postures from hatha yoga, and breath awareness. The classes are aimed at building a trauma survivor’s sense of empowerment and cultivating a more positive relationship to one's body. The class focuses on internal sensing and reclaiming choice in your body, and is less about form or technique. Absolutely everything in the class is optional, and the practice is beginner-friendly.
Based on the evidence-based methodology of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga. Embodiment for Trauma Recovery is a group movement class. While this class is taught by a Registered Psychotherapist, it is not group therapy. As an adjunctive therapy, it is not intended as a replacement for working with a qualified therapist. Participants are encouraged to seek adjunctive treatment with a therapist to support the process of healing as needed.

Prenatal yoga will leave you feeling strong, relaxed, and more connected to yourself and your baby. Our classes go beyond simply modifying yoga poses. With an emphasis on strength, breathing, gentle stretches and community connection, this course can help prepare your mind and body for birth and parenting.
Each session will include poses that bring balance and alignment to your pelvis, pelvic floor, and pelvic and uterine ligaments. Through yoga asana, students can safely encounter strong sensations, and alongside that, discover the coping skills that work best for you and can later be applied to moments of physical or mental discomfort, like during labour and early parenthood. This mindful approach to yoga practice will leave you feeling ready for whatever lies ahead in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
We empower students to continuously learn about pregnancy, the birthing process and early parenthood. Our practice sessions are grounded in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates the value of community as you explore this current chapter of life. This class is exclusively for pregnant people (not a partners class).
Beginners to yoga and any stage of pregnancy are welcome.

Focus on yourself and your own healing after pregnancy or birth. This course is a supportive space to reconnect to your non-pregnant body and your sense of self.
Reacquaint yourself with your post-pregnancy body by strengthening areas that have weakened and easing tension in areas that are overburdened; including your pelvic floor, glutes, hips, abdomen, back, chest, shoulders and neck.
Parenting is overwhelming, so rest assured that you are welcome to show up and connect to the community exactly as you are. This emotionally supportive space is just as much about easing your mind as it is healing your body.
Open to students once you are a minimum 6 weeks postpartum, whether you birthed vaginally or by C-section. There is no maximum time postpartum - it’s never too late to reconnect and heal after pregnancy.

Most adults have lost healthy mobility in their feet from a lifetime of wearing conventional footwear and lack of natural movement. This can cause issues in your ankles, knees, hips, and back. Your feet are the foundation for whole body alignment and healthy movement patterns. One quarter of all your bones and joints are in your feet! They are adapted for weight-bearing and balance when they are moving properly.
In this workshop you’ll learn key ways to free your feet through exercises and self-massage techniques that restore flexibility and strength. You’ll also learn how to make well-informed choices about footwear, including how and why you might transition to minimalist shoes.

Focus on yourself and your own healing after pregnancy or birth. This course is a supportive space to reconnect to your non-pregnant body and your sense of self.
Reacquaint yourself with your post-pregnancy body by strengthening areas that have weakened and easing tension in areas that are overburdened, including your pelvic floor, glutes, hips, abdomen, back, chest, shoulders and neck.
Parenting is overwhelming, so rest assured that you are welcome to show up and connect to the community exactly as you are. This emotionally supportive space is just as much about easing your mind as it is healing your body.
Open to students once you are a minimum 6 weeks postpartum, whether you birthed vaginally or by C-section. There is no maximum time postpartum - it’s never too late to reconnect and heal after pregnancy.

Most adults have lost healthy mobility in their feet from a lifetime of wearing conventional footwear and lack of natural movement. This can cause issues in your ankles, knees, hips, and back. Your feet are the foundation for whole body alignment and healthy movement patterns. One quarter of all your bones and joints are in your feet! They are adapted for weight-bearing and balance when they are moving properly.
In this workshop you’ll learn key ways to free your feet through exercises and self-massage techniques that restore flexibility and strength. You’ll also learn how to make well-informed choices about footwear, including how and why you might transition to minimalist shoes.

Prenatal yoga will leave you feeling strong, relaxed, and more connected to yourself and your baby. Our classes go beyond simply modifying yoga poses. With an emphasis on strength, breathing, gentle stretches and community connection, this course can help prepare your mind and body for birth and parenting.
Each session will include poses that bring balance and alignment to your pelvis, pelvic floor, and pelvic and uterine ligaments. Through yoga asana, students can safely encounter strong sensations, and alongside that, discover the coping skills that work best for you and can later be applied to moments of physical or mental discomfort, like during labour and early parenthood. This mindful approach to yoga practice will leave you feeling ready for whatever lies ahead in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
We empower students to continuously learn about pregnancy, the birthing process and early parenthood. Our practice sessions are grounded in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates the value of community as you explore this current chapter of life. This class is exclusively for pregnant people (not a partners’ class).
Beginners to yoga and any stage of pregnancy are welcome.

Embodiment for Trauma Recovery consists of very gentle movements, simple postures from hatha yoga, and breath awareness. The classes are aimed at building a trauma survivor’s sense of empowerment and cultivating a more positive relationship to one's body. The class focuses on internal sensing and reclaiming choice in your body, and is less about form or technique. Absolutely everything in the class is optional, and the practice is beginner-friendly.
Based on the evidence-based methodology of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga. Embodiment for Trauma Recovery is a group movement class. While this class is taught by a Registered Psychotherapist, it is not group therapy. As an adjunctive therapy, it is not intended as a replacement for working with a qualified therapist. Participants are encouraged to seek adjunctive treatment with a therapist to support the process of healing as needed.
