"As a clinician, yoga teacher, Doctor, nurse, teacher or human service worker we come across people who have suffered from chronic stress on a very regular basis. This training will give you the tools to support your clients to be able to use their bodies as a resource in an empowering way, and over time supporting the rewiring of the brain and fostering the ability to self regulate and self soothe. When we feel safe in our bodies we are better able to relate, learn and grow emotionally"
