About the Workhop:
The effects of stress and trauma can disconnect us from ourselves, creating dysregulation in our minds, bodies, and spirits. We all have the innate ability to heal. Janelle uses the evidence-based modality of somatic trauma-informed yoga to help others discover their own inner capacity for healing and growth. In class, Janelle follows the trauma-informed frameworks of safety, trust, choice, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural competence. She holds compassionate space for others, guides participants through gentle breath work and embodied movement, invites students to be curious and explore the mind-body connection, and always encourages people to move their bodies however feels best for them in that moment. The goal of her trauma-informed class is to meet participants where they are, acknowledge that everyone is having their own unique experience, support healing and growth, and to avoid re-traumatization at all costs.
