Why Trauma-Informed Yoga?
According to PYP, trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices can be utilized as a means of self-empowerment and self-rehabilitation. These practices can develop the self-awareness, self-worth, empathy, and compassion that leads to positive personal and pro-social choices.
