What People Are Saying

“I am able to lead yoga (and even boxing) classes with a better understanding of how trauma works and the ways I can create more safe, empowering and inclusive environments for anyone and everyone. Outside of a teaching role, I've noticed more awareness within myself as to how I perceived people, extending more grace and compassion.”

“Wow. Adria. I went into the immersion thinking I would learn more about yoga and tools I could use as a social worker, which is true. But I also unexpectedly found a lot of my own healing through this weekend. I’ve been recovering from an eating disorder and everything we touched on was huge for me. From the rest deck cards about perfectionism to emphasis on choice and listening to your body during practice to language that creates a safe environment… I feel more in tune with my own body after this weekend. I have a long way to go, but this weekend has given me tools in mending the disconnect from my body.”
