Trauma not only manifests itself mentally and emotionally, but it can also affect us physically. Chronic pain and mobility issues can stem from trauma and create discomfort and disease in the body.
As a survivor of trauma, Vicky Hardy, incorporates yoga and myofascial release into her own healing practice and into her work with clients and yoga students. Her unique approach to nourishing the nervous system and creating a sense of safety can support mental and physical healing.
In this episode, we explore the connection between yoga and holistic healing, and how trauma-informed yoga can be a bridge back to wellbeing and finding joy in life.
