Jivana Heyman: Accessible and Trauma Informed Yoga
Jivana Heyman shares how accessibility flows naturally from ethics. We explore how accessibility and trauma informed care weave together as we support those in our care. This conversation applies not only to. yoga teachers and facilitators but to anyone in a supporting and healing role.
We delve into the theme of sharing power and why we do this with those in our care. Collaboration is key in how we show up and empower students, clients and participants. This conversation is sure to leave you feeling inspired and with some fresh perspectives in your approach to healing whether you're facilitator or participant.
