Yoga and Trauma II February 29, 2020 @6pm After a Knowledge Event Panel Discussion on Yoga and Trauma back in March, we got many request for a part 2, to continue diving more in depth into the topic and continue some of the conversations that came up. This topic is vast and not so easy to navigate so we thought it would be a good idea to give some more time and space for it to unfold and with the guidance of our special panel of experts. Come and listen or participate in this focused discussion + Q&A on how Yoga deals with trauma.Yoga is proven to aid, soothe and facilitate healing from all kinds of trauma small or large. But trauma is complex. How and why does it arise and what are the short and long term effect within us? How can yoga alleviate past trauma? Can yoga cause trauma? Are yoga teachers equipped to deal with trauma? Should you do yoga if you sit with a past experience of trauma?Join our panel of experts for an evening of knowledge sharing and thought provoking conversation over a cup of tea. Through community we can come together to support and learn from one another.

Greg NardiE-RYT 500, owner of Ashtanga Yoga Worldwide “Yoga is the way in which I make sense of my life. I practice to challenge myself to be a better person and to develop the strength to meet those challenges. I use the practice to nurture myself and draw on the strength it has provided to help me through difficult times. I practice to orient myself, so I can consciously act in ways that give my life peace and meaning.”Greg has dedicated himself to shifting power dynamics and developing a consent driven, student centered approach to the teaching and practice of Ashtanga Yoga.
