I realize for those in the field, just one month module is a joke but &#8230;with the expert (Durga Leela RYT-500) at hand, I feel like we really gained a deep understanding.  Our cohort&#8217;s presentation must have been a product of long hours filled with anguish, blood, sweat and tears, she logged. I believe she can help many people based on all that research she has already done and really be a force (referral provided!) to transform many lives wasted into lives more fulfilling.  Here&#8217;s something else but as related of a gem that&#8217;s out on the internet that can definitely use more viewing as I see it.  In all things, especially in yoga instructions, we hope to have the sensitivity to build a class, trauma informed. I myself feel put to shame as I was not holding a trauma informed class in the past &#8211; now I am resolute to. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an interview on UTUBE shared by Colleen Saidman Yee, whom I have never taken a class from but have from Sean Corn who I find to be so amazing in terms of the energy she brings to any space &#8211; her session is like going to &#8230; church.  It feels like church when she teaches and now I know why that is:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Breathe Easy and Everything Changes, with Seane Corn\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BdHwF9n8x_M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I do not believe in shaming the human experience.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Seane Corn<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>one of the coolest rock-star yoga teacher &#8230; she is so passionate when she teaches and no wonder. <\/p>\n<p>Yoga has shown to aid in trauma recovery through its emphasis on self-study that leads to mastery over the yogic tools needed in self-regulation. That mastery invites us to become resilience whilst sharpening the senses.  Resilience is cultivated, not from ignoring or being insensitive but rather the opposite &#8211; resilience is forged by noticing, accepting and being okay with various waves of emotions, good or bad &#8211; call it, equanimity.  Trauma can happen to anybody and it is said that most people have experienced some form of trauma in one sense of another &#8211; only how we frame it and deal with it is different. Sometimes, it&#8217;s not the MDs and the formally trained who make the best &#8220;therapists&#8221; but &#8230; an empathetic yoga teacher &#8211; like her.  Sometimes in her case, it&#8217;s almost like a calling.  It&#8217;s like a body prayer when she goes through a sequence and that makes sense &#8211; Sun Salutation is after all a prayer &#8230; using your entire body.** She is one powerful teacher with a language one cannot help but be blown away by.  She speaks from her heart, so earnest, that energy undeniably resonates with so many.  It&#8217;s wonderful that she&#8217;s coming to teach in Oakland where just discovering that some of the therapist TT cohorts are teaching &#8211; so cool.  http:\/\/www.anasaoakland.com\/  <\/p>\n<p>(** if you are unable to use the whole entire body, there&#8217;s still many ways to pray for recovery of course. There&#8217;s a universe of prayer through mudras, chants &#8230; it need not all be asana-based but in this case, it works very well when she connects all &#8211; the body, the breath, the emotions and the mind &#8211; it&#8217;s yoga:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>one of the cohorts presented a mid-term report on the subject of &#8220;addiction&#8221; which we also had a month&#8217;s module on.
