by Gabor Maté M.D – The Biology of Loss and Recovery … Here’s the talk. It’s just so … dead on.

Enough of my escapades even though I have more to share … this weekend I am back to my Yoga Therapist Teacher Training. The module for the weekend is “Trauma informed Yoga”.
It is sobering to learn that “trauma” is so prevalent in our society as this data indicates.
How does yoga have anything to do with healing? Everything – everything. Whenever we deal with Fight, Flight or Freeze reactions, yoga therapy can really really help and I am here to learn all about it.

But emotions are … human. It’s everything real. They are what makes us human so do we need to control them?

After seeing this video, so convinced how yogis can help – we can help the parents and grandparents and … teachers ! Parents and teachers have immense responsibility. Yoga can support their work. Their work to raise healthy happy kids ! Who grow up to be well adjusted, resilient adults who make this world a better place for all.

“Solution is mindfulness.”

And as with anything you teach, it starts with you, the teacher.
