Why have we created this workshop? 

We want to share the knowledge we have gained from our personal and professional learning about trauma recovery. Through our lived and learned experiences we have built an understanding of how yoga can contribute to feeling safe and counteract the effects of trauma on the body, brain and mind. We would like to offer it as a tool for others to use, for themselves or to support others.

There will be a maximum of 14 people taking part in the workshop with 2 facilitators who have 

professional and lived experience.
