YOGA & MEDITATION
A space to reinhabit and take care of our bodies
After trauma occurs, and often through just existing and bearing witness to the world’s socio-political-environmental oppression, many of us may experience symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD that can be extremely challenging to live with. Webs of Well-being offers customized sessions for community members to access trauma-informed yoga, meditation, and somatic practice.
Trauma-informed yoga and meditation classes help to empower community members with the space and practice to exercise breath regulation, sensory mindfulness, movement to release tension, personal choices to restore safety and agency, as well as overall cultivate mind-body awareness.
The Trauma Resiliency Model helps to deepen one’s awareness of their nervous system and natural survival responses, and shows how we can practice skills to help our bodies return to a resilience zone where we can feel more grounded to take care and make choices with more clarity, calm, and creativity.
Drawing from these two modalities, as well as being grounded in a Buddhist spiritual lens, Webs of Well-being works with organizations of diverse communities to hold space for grounding and somatic practice - where people have an opportunity to restore, connect, and be in their bodies.
Over the last 12 years, I’ve been honored to share trauma informed practice with many communities, including the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, the Japanese American National Museum, Peoples Yoga, The Tree Yoga Cooperative, Roots for Peace-Los Angeles, AF3IRM-LA School of Youth Activism, Center for the Pacific Asian Family, Liberty Hill Foundation, the San Fernando Valley Hongwanji Buddhist Temple, and more.
