After any long period of stress or trauma – such as getting through a pandemic – it is normal to experience emotional de-regulation.

Understanding this, and how little bodies register and retain trauma physically and physiologically, holds the key to understanding how small ones can be their happiest and most fulfilled selves. Through an evidence-based approach to self-regulation, we can help support young ones to release trauma and maintain physical, mental and physiological health.

In this presentation, we will learn an introduction to the science of trauma and Yoga (and mindfulness) techniques and methodology to release residual trauma among kids of all ages.
