TRF Tuesday

In a series of short meditative exercises, Licia Sky guides us to noticing our bodies and the spaces in which we practice these gentle, body-oriented movements. Licia encourages us to connect with ourselves and access our imaginations with slow, intentional movements and a focus on balance, openness, and observation, allowing us to accept the sensations and feelings in our bodies, whatever they are.

Josefin Wikström from the Prison Yoga Project guides weekly classes with beneficial practices that have been co- developed with the women prisoners at the high security prison Hinseberg in Sweden. Josefin has been specializing in creating movement-based programs for traumatic stress in confined environments such as prisons, isolation units, forensic psychiatry and juvenile justice institutions since 2008.

Join Linda Thai, MSW, ERYT-200, CLYL, for this 8-week program that explores and seeks to understand some of the survival strategies we depend on during a traumatic experience. These strategies that kept us alive in the moment can keep us from living in the present. By learning to recognize and safely release the tension patterns of these survival responses, not only is there more ease and openness in the body, but new choices become available for the neuro-muscular system.

Join Dafna Lender, LCSW, for this 8-week program where she explores practical tips and techniques that lead to positive interactions with children. This series of eight 20-minute sessions will be full of action-packed, accessible, and useful interventions to connect with the children in your life.
