This deeply important workshop will focus on an introduction to concepts of Trauma Informed Yoga, relying heavily on and referencing author David Emerson followed by an experiential practice of TIY in real time. The educational portion of the workshop will be held in the Centered studio, and will be followed by a session inside Lexington Salt Cave!

Cindy Reed is a Yoga and Mindfulness instructor, as well as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years clinical experience.  We are so grateful to share space with her and consider her to be one of the most trustworthy voices of this work in the local and statewide Yoga community.
