The Empowerment Protocol
We're partnering with Combat Sexual Assault to bring you this protocol which includes a variety of online classes that help to facilitate the healing journey of our clients who've experienced assault and trauma.
Trauma - Informed Modalities
What is the Empowerment Protocol?
This protocol will include a variety of online classes to help facilitate the healing journey for our clients. Currently, there is no comprehensive online program that allows survivors of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) to come together and address their needs in a wholistic fashion. This protocol aims to change that, as we build a national platform for Service Members and Veterans across the globe.
This is an opportunity to learn with your body and process the trauma lodged in your system. Holistic healing has many benefits, but one of the most immediate is the ability to reclaim the agency in your story. When you begin practicing a relationship between the mind and the body you find that the impossible becomes possible.
Trauma-Informed Yoga
A Trauma Informed class is safe, inclusive, and supportive to your healing journey. A Trauma Informed yoga teacher places emphasis on your comfort and safety above all else. They know you have experienced traumas that are unprocessed and create an atmosphere mitigates your triggers -- physical touch, lighting, music, tone, smells -- are either non-existent or softened. A Trauma Informed class is aimed to help you turn deeper inward, exploring sensations and feelings rather than the perfection of a pose.
