Trauma Conscious Yoga Class at Yoga Dimensions in Newtown Benefits The Women's Center

Trauma Conscious Yoga is a combination of active asanas, pranayama and deep relaxation to assist in mitigating the fight-or-flight response that many trauma survivors experience. This style of yoga can bring an awareness and connection back to the physical body in a pace that is most comfortable for the student. The intention and focus of this class is to empower the student in their own ability to self-regulate, calm the nervous system and begin to connect back to their physical, emotional and mental well-being.
