Although this program was initially created for participants to experience yoga-related shapes, this class is better described as a Intuitive Movement Practice. No yoga experience is needed or necessary to participate in this class. Participants will be offered opportunities to engage in seated movements, standing shapes, and balancing shapes with or without the use of weights, blankets, blocks, or any other supportive items. Though this practice was established with trauma survivors in mind, almost ANYONE can benefit from this self-directed, supportive form of movement that focuses on empowerment and choice-making in the present moment. The class helps to strengthen participants’ ability to be in the present moment, regulate emotions, and assist with responding to life’s circumstances rather than reacting to them. You can choose to attend virtually or in-person.

This class is led by HealTree founder and CEO, Catrina Stiller, who received a 300-hr certification to facilitate this style of treatment method. Read more about Catrina here: https://healtree.co/about-catrina-stiller/.
