True Self Yoga partners with Odanadi– – a nonprofit in Mysore, India that rescues, rehabilitates and reintegrates survivors of trafficking. Thank you to all participants who have joined us every year to support a worldwide effort to combat human trafficking: Yoga Stops Traffick. With your generous contributions, we send vital funds to help survivors and children of survivors thrive in spite of their circumstances. Look out for our next 108 sun salutations to stand on your mat in solidarity with survivors.
True Self Yoga supports Yoga Behind Bars and their comprehensive training for teaching in prisons and in other vulnerable communities.
This training is for anyone interested in or currently working with trauma and marginalized populations. You do not have to be a yoga teacher to participate, but the training will be more meaningful if you have an active yoga and/or meditation practice.
Deepen your own practice. Learn trauma-informed healing modalities to address the unique challenges faced by populations impacted by trauma, especially incarcerated youth, women, and men. Make a difference.
True Self Yoga encourages the training of school teachers and staff to bring yoga and meditation into the classrooms. Yoga Calm brings trainings to the studio led by Lyndsay Morris, the Founder of Generation Wellness, a company committed to building strong hearts, minds and bodies, while educating the whole child. Learn how to integrate yoga-based movement, breathing techniques, mindfulness and social/emotional skills into classrooms and therapeutic settings. In this training, you will learn over 100 strategies and activities guided by five Yoga Calm principles: Stillness, Listening, Strength, Grounding and Community. Stay tuned for the next training at True Self Yoga.
