Wondering what trauma sensitive yoga is?

Trauma sensitive yoga involves a facilitator who has a solid understanding of what trauma is, how it affects us, and how to approach trauma within a yoga setting. Trauma sensitive yoga involves adjusting exercises for all kinds of comfort, checking in frequently, and using body neutral language.
