Transformational Yoga Experience
Donation protected
As a social worker I serve some of the most disenfranchised populations and as a wellness warrior I understand the importance of self-care and mindfulness practices to heal and troubleshoot trauma. I have been granted the opportunity to broaden my scope of wellness knowledge and meld it with my social work practice this summer through the acceptance into the Sacred Yoga 200 Hour Intensive Vinyasa Yoga Flow Teacher Training in Costa Rica.
The training will allow me to focus on technique, practice, teaching methodology, anatomy &physiology, asana, pranayama, meditation, personal growth and transformation.
My goal is to add to my wellness toolbox and to offer yoga as a way for people dealing with trauma particularly PTSD, domestic violence, sexual abuse and depression a positive outlet to handle the stressors that often lead to maladaptive coping strategies.
I am excited about what this training will allow me to accomplish as I step further into my wellness work. I humbly ask for your help to make this a reality. The training begins June 28th, 2015 and the monies I raise will go toward tuition, room and board, travel expenses, books, classes outside of the training, as well as daily living expenses.
Thank you in advance for your donations, big or small, well wishes and thoughts and prayers.
