YOGA FOR Direct care professionals
Classes and strategies to prevent and heal the individual and organizational consequences of vicarious trauma and professional burnout
Trauma-Informed. Evidence-Based.
Direct care professionals witness and absorb the traumas of the individuals they serve and support.
​
Without proper care and awareness, eventually those professionals become traumatized themselves and/or disconnect as a way of self-preservation.
​
Yoga organically and holistically allows for safe self-reflection, triggers the activation of the para-sympathetic nervous system (respond, not react) and promotes the cultivation of the energy and compassion needed to safely support the most vulnerable and marginalized populations.
