Exhale to Inhale empowers survivors affected by domestic and
sexual violence to transform their lives through trauma-informed
yoga. Not only do we bring these essential wellness practices to
communities affected by violence but we also offer trauma informed
training and education to help create trauma informed spaces.
Approximately 70% of adults in the United States have experienced a
traumatic event at least once in their lives and roughly 20% of
these people go on to develop posttraumatic stress disorder or
PTSD. It’s, therefore, likely that one or more students in an open
level class is a trauma survivor, regardless of whether they
identify with this term. Students may come to class not realizing
that the yoga practice may uncover trauma still held within the
mind & body. Most students do not expect to have an intense
memory, emotion, or physical response during a yoga class.
With a basic understanding of trauma-informed teaching principles,
we as yoga teachers can participate in creating yoga classes that
empower survivors rather than trigger and shame them. Armed with a
few more tools, we can build a culture that fosters post-traumatic
growth.
