Service Description

Begins in June! This class is led by Shelly Werts LCSW, a Mental Health Therapist and Yoga Teacher. This class will provide a welcoming, safe and comfortable environment emphasizing minimizing overwhelming feelings of vulnerability and potential triggers for trauma while still providing the psychological and physical benefits that yoga offers. Learn to cultivate self-compassion, resilience, personal growth, awareness, and peace. Trauma is defined as any life-threatening or life-altering experience that negatively affects mind-body homeostasis. Each class will cover psychoeducational topics related to trauma recovery, breath work, meditation, and gentle yoga. We will practice gentle poses each week to offer ease for all participants. This sequence is designed for accessibility that most will be able to attend with standing and seated poses. Please ensure you have something to write with, as well as a yoga mat/blocks/strap/bolsters. This is a six-week series that will repeat every six weeks, is 90 minutes long, for adults ages 18+ only, and costs $15 per class each week.
