Class Descriptions
“Yoga involves creating a more tolerant, gentle approach to connecting with the body. It teaches people to move away from shutting down the body’s reactions, or pushing the body to go beyond what it is able to tolerate; instead, it teaches people to connect with their bodies within an optimal ‘window of tolerance’. ”
Trauma Informed General Class
Tuesdays @ 6:30 - 7:30 pm
Living Bridges Studio - 618 Tranquille Road, Kamloops
$10 per class
A yoga class designed to nurture your body, mind, heart, and soul – in whatever ways feel supportive to you. This class is for everyone. It’s inclusive in that it’s designed knowing that everyone, including those who have experienced trauma, can benefit from having more choice, feeling empowered, practicing being in the present moment, and finding their own supportive rhythms.
These classes are designed for all bodies and you can practice from a seated, standing or laying down position. As we move through a sequence we practice being in the present moment, making choices that are best for us, and doing things that support our own body, mind, and heart. Everything I offer is invitational – you get to decide what your practice looks like that day.
Classes are designed for whoever is attending them that week — you let me know if you’re needing an energetic flow, or a slower more restorative style this week. Small class sizes means we can better meet everyone’s needs.

Everything I offer is optional – you get to decide what your practice looks like that day. Some days you may have a strong asana practice (the poses), and other days it might look like taking some quiet time for yourself and connecting to your breath in Savasana.
I encourage you to move through any self-consciousness you might be feeling and invite you to come give it a try!
