Trauma-Informed Yoga Program for Survivors

“Yoga allows survivors to regain a sense of comfort and ease within their own shape, to process nonverbally feelings that transcend language, and to experientially cultivate gratitude towards the body, which serve as a reminder of one’s resilience.” -Boeder-Harris, 2012

Yoga as Healing

The Yoga as Healing program was developed by Zabie Yamasaki and will be facilitated by Shari Dale of Niagara Psychotherapy Services our instructor have been fully trained in the implementation of this program.

The program will explore re-connection to the self through mind, body, and spirit. It will provide survivors with a means of becoming reacquainted with their bodies, help them become grounded in the present moment, and allow them to explore the benefits of mindfulness as they flow breath to movement in guided practice and meditation. Classes are comprised of an 8-week series which focus on intentional weekly themes. Classes will establish consistency and will build upon each other each week. Below is a sample outline of an 8-week class series:

This program specifically focuses on self-acceptance and self-compassion and provides survivors with tangible benefits that may become noticeable throughout their practice. This gradual integration can be transformational and healing for survivors.
