Understanding trauma and how it affects those that we serve is a vital key in developing healthy and thriving communities. This innovative workshop will introduce various tools and techniques to help mitigate the psycho-physiological issues that can develop to those working in fields where trauma/suffering is prevalent. Angela will provide evidence-based support to illustrate the usefulness of mindfulness practices amongst clinicians, social workers or anyone in a helping profession, including yoga instructors.

We will explore how the philosophy, principles, spirituality and practice of Yoga are instrumental elements in helping professionals enhance the factors that underpin emotional resilience to stress. Participants will be guided through a short asana and meditation practice that has proven effective in reducing stress and building reliance.
