About this Event
"Safety is not the absence of threat, it's the presence of connection." - Gabor Maté
Modern life asks us to override our bodies constantly — to push through, perform, stay productive, stay “positive.”
This trauma-informed somatic yoga workshop offers another way.
Rather than forcing the body into fixed shapes, this practice invites you to explore movement from the inside out — in a way that feels personal, grounding, and sustainable.

About the facilitator:
Angora is a trauma-informed somatic yoga teacher with over 15 years of practice and teaching combined.
After navigating repetitive stress injuries and nervous system dysregulation, she has gradually shifted toward a more embodied and sustainable approach to movement.
Her work blends somatics with traditional yoga to help students reconnect with themselves gently and honestly — without performance, rigidity, or pressure to “transcend” the body.
