We teach trauma-informed yoga classes, intertwining physical movement with themes such as forgiveness, gratitude, and vulnerability. Individuals are offered tools to hone in on subtle changes in breathing, heart rate, and feelings within their body. Recognizing small changes can help an individual correct imbalances and self-regulate emotions.
Program benefits include:
Decreased stress and anxiety
Increased self-esteem
Increased sleep
Improvement in mood
Decreased physical pain
Increase in positive coping skills
Calming of the nervous system
Increased posttraumatic growth
Increased emotional awareness and regulation
How do we know?
We collect data before and after every class, as well as pre and post curriculum. We are consistently researched and evaluated by our Research Team, in partnership with Boston University, and our programs have reported a statistically significant impact on all Yoga 4 Change participants.
We serve four unique populations
