Trauma-informed movement classes

Trauma Sensitive Movement for Women and Gender Diverse Folks

Starting October 24th join Bess and Linda for 6 week trauma sensitive movement including yoga, qigong, and bodywork.

Movement is supportive for trauma healing as it can benefit us in many ways, including cultivating a more positive relationship with our body and increasing the experiences of choice and control.
