Exploring Trauma & Healing through the Chakras

Hosted by Gabby Ruocco

Bushwick

September 7th 3-5pm

$40

Come as you are to this space where we will deepen our understanding of how each of the 7 chakras is affected by trauma, and how in the same way, you have the tools to help to heal each one. In this event we will journal, gently move, share our collective knowledge, and practice somatic movements centered around the subtle body. This event is for yoga teachers, practitioners, mental or community health providers, social workers, or anyone who wants to grow their knowledge around trauma and healing. Materials with additional practices and exercises centered around each chakra will be provided.
