  3. Learn with Simpson - Trauma Informed Practices
  • Learn with Simpson - Trauma Informed Practices logo
  • Join us for a collaboration training with MOV Hot Yoga and Suzanne Koeplinger for a discussion on how toxic stress and trauma impact communities, how trauma and stress show up in our bodies, and learning simple techniques to foster healing and interrupt the transmission of trauma.

    We each carry unique gifts, biases, and coping strategies that inform our relationships, decision making processes and overall health. Understanding how our central nervous system reacts to toxic stress and trauma will be at the core of this session. Participants will be invited to explore practices that foster compassion and build strategy.
