Sachin Joshi’s Post

I had been practicing Yoga for 19 years and teaching it for 10 when I finally learned about trauma in earnest. After years of study in classical yogic sciences and a graduate degree in transpersonal psychology I thought I knew a lot about healing. I did, and I didn't (still learning!). And I certainly didn't know enough to be trauma "attuned". It took surviving two 7.8 earthquakes in 2015 to send me to train for nearly 3 years in Somatic Experiencing (SE)-- a psycho-biological tool that helps to renegotiate the effects of high states of stress and trauma. It was... Eye opening Heart expanding Awe inspiring Life Changing It was... - "omg...I had trauma I didn't know was trauma!" - "where would I be without Yoga?!" - "yikes...I've been making some mis-steps in my own yoga practice & in my work with others." My friends, it's never too late to become trauma informed, and trauma 'attuned'. I'm a firm believer that EVERYONE should know the basics of their own body & psyche, particularly when it comes to trauma. That's why my wonderful colleague and friend, Lisa LaDue, and I are offering a 6 week online series beginning April 15, through May 20: "What Every Yogi(ni) Needs to Know about Trauma". Learning about trauma changed my life. I'm sure it will change yours. For the better.
