Modern science and psychology are now beginning to appreciate the importance of body/mind approaches in the treatment of trauma and depression.  In Healing from Trauma and Depression through Yoga & Mindfulness, Heather Mason and Dana Moore will explore the therapeutic role somatic and awareness practices can have on emotional healing.  This workshop will offer an opportunity for experiential learning combined with insight into groundbreaking theory around trauma and depression and their treatment.  Using a combination of yoga, break-work, mindfulness and movement, Dana and Heather will guide you through practices specifically designed to work with both the mental and physiological aspects of trauma and depression.

It is a special and unique privilege to have Dana and Heather as an interdisciplinary team collaborating to teach this workshop. Dana is a psychotherapist and Kripalu Yoga teacher and a staff member at the Boston Trauma Center. He conducts teacher trainings on trauma sensitive yoga and regularly teaches workshops and retreats with world renown trauma expert Bessel Van der Kolk MD. Heather is the director and founder of Yoga for the Mind.  She is a yoga therapist and yoga teacher, holds a Masters Degree in Buddhist Studies, and is completing her MA in Psychotherapy.

We are incredibly honoured to have Dana Moore, Kripalu teacher from the United States, and Heather Mason, a yoga therapist and Buddhist scholar, joining us for a weekend workshop. The workshop, entitled Pathways of Healing Through Yoga, will be held on March 21st and March 22nd and the fee is £100. 

Heather and Dana will offer both practical steps towards healing and insights into groundbreaking theory around yoga and trauma. The Boston Trauma Center is the first place in the world to conduct comprehensive research on the neurobiology of trauma and profound impact of yoga in the lives of those who have suffered traumatic events, as adults or children. Dana is a staff member at the Boston Trauma Center and Heather is the only person in the UK to have trained with them.

If you have been hurt or wounded and can no longer, “Just get on with it” think about joining us, think about taking time to truly care for yourself and begin the much-needed and longed for process of healing. Or, if you are someone who works caring for those who have been harmed emotional, mentally or physically, come learn new tools to help free them from the bondage of the pain and intense suffering they are locked in.
