Our trainings are open to anyone curious about trauma, resilience and healing - educators, mental health practitioners, yoga teachers, or inquisitive... humans are all welcome Our methodology is a complementary program for post-traumatic growth and healing and initial researchs shows measureable positive changes in key areas which are impacted by #trauma symptomatology, including #interoception and #empathy and positive trends in a number of areas including subjective #wellbeing, embodied connection, perceived #selfcompassion, #resilience and more.

This is the incredible stuff #neuroscience experts can study and capture! What we’ve all always known in the felt sense can be seen and studied. This is the kind of stuff our co-founders Emily Pantalone and Samara Andrade Yoga & Wellness geek out on! If this stuff interests you, join us this week for our online trauma-informed somatic immersion. We will be exploring how #trauma impacts the brain and our physiology and what practices science and the felt sense know create #...resilience and post traumatic growth and healing. Our mind-body approach adds tools to your toolbox that can be used in your own life or with clients. This #traumainformedyoga training is open for curious humans, yoga teachers, and mental health providers. We’ve kept costing low as we can with some generous funding, but reach out if you’re someone needing financial assistance.

Grow through what you go through we love this quote and the I Used to Have a Plan: But Life Had Other Ideas by @aolanow . This quote encapsulates what has driven our organization and our co-founders @em.pants and @samara.e.andrade to develop the @feetontheg methodology, a complementary program for post-traumatic growth and healing. We believe in the power of lived experience, of education and understanding the impact of events on our brain, our emotions and our physio...logy, and that knowledge combined with evidenced-based practices in #mindfulness #movement #somatics #breath #resilience can support us to grow through what we had to go through and to become stronger and more deeply connected with who we truly are as humans as a result. . Do you want to learn more? Join us next week - Feb 4-7th ONLINE for our embodied immersion. We offer discounts for frontline workers and mental health providers providing services to at risk populations with financial need. Resilience can be cultivated.

We are excited that our preliminary research findings on the @feetontheg methodology- a complementary program for post-traumatic growth and healing - show measureable positive changes in key areas which are impacted by #trauma symptomatology, including #interoception and #empathy and positive trends in a number of areas including subjective #wellbeing, embodied connection, perceived #selfcompassion, #resilience and more. So many incredible people have been involved in helpi...ng us do this, huge shout out to Becky Romasco-Kelly, Mallory Feldman, Sophie Needleman, Leah Weingast, Sara Hameed.

Reposted from Morgan Harper Nichols I am not convinced that unity is a matter of setting our differences aside. I think unity is a matter of bringing the raw ingredients of our differences to the kitchen table. And at that kitchen table, we will look at all of our ingredients, and we will realize, it’s actually pretty difficult, messy, time-consuming, and energy-consuming trying to make all of this work together. I think unity is:... on this day, we’re not going to give up and just make something easier. The water is already boiling on the stove. The cooking utensils are ready to go. The fire is piping hot. It’s time to get to work. We can’t just say I love your ingredients no matter what they are. That’s a good start, and at the same time, in order for everyone to be able to eat, we have to do more. We have to figure out how these ingredients are actually going to work here, in this kitchen, until everyone is fed. We have to realize that some ingredients may seem more powerful just because the people who brought them in have more power. Some ingredients might be overlooked because the people who carried them have been overlooked themselves. Some will share their recipes reluctantly and conditionally, and others will share them generously and openly. And together, we will find that ‘unity’ is far more complicated than creating a melting pot. In the words of the great poet Gwendolyn Brooks (words that she wrote for musician and activist Paul Robeson), We are each other's business, we are each other's magnitude and bond. There are no two sides of the aisle in the kitchen. There is a table. There are chairs. There are human beings bound together by a need for nourishment, and in order for that to happen, we have to bring our ingredients together and work to create a feast so that everyone can be fed.

Happy ~almost~ end of 2020 from our founders @em.pants & @samara.e.andrade We’ve learned a lot in 2020 and as grateful as we are for what we’ve learned, we’re also over the moon to turn the page on this year! As a small women owned and led organization we’ve had to navigate so much in the midst of 2020, just as have all of you. We have shifted offerings and work to remote learning and sharing opportunities, postponed our Mexico retreat and took a hard look at how we work ...as an organization to continue to be anti-racist and to unpack bias. We’ve lost loved ones, we’ve watched others lose loved ones and we have seen the incredible strength and #resilience of #frontlineworkers. We have had to dig deep in these times of #stress where we’re all faced with immense levels of #traumatic experiences, where our #mentalhealth is challenged on a daily basis by isolation, by fear, by the unknown of the human, financial, mental emotional impact of this year. To keep hope in these times, to strive to find the in the dark is a continual process. We know we are all doing the very best we can in these times and we will be stronger for these experiences and we know the impact on #mentalhealth is immense and the loss of life is immense. That’s why we continue to be dedicated to bringing complementary approaches to mental health and #wellbeing to people all over the world. As we had into 2021 we hope this new year brings you more love, laughter, and ease. We are #grateful for each and every one of you, for the light, the presence, and the community you share.

Here’s some Real Talk: Holidays are some of the most difficult times of the year, they bring up all kinda of memories and experiences, losses and wishes. . . The very thing that makes the holidays so meaningful for many of us can be exactly what brings up painful memories and disappointments.... . . A loss of loved ones or children, going thru a breakup or divorce, never having had your person to celebrate holidays with, being reminded of difficult childhood memories, feeling alone or isolated, or longing for a family you don’t have are just a few reasons why holidays can be incredibly challenging. Not to mention 2020 and the year of a pandemic called COVID19. . . You are not alone if you’re not feeling particularly happy right now even if it looks like everyone around you is happy.
