In this episode, I've invited my former client, a sexual assault survivor & Trauma-informed Yoga Teacher, Alyssa. We talked about:

- How trauma manifested in her body and her behaviors

- How she reconnected with her self and her body

- Post-traumatic growth: finding meaning and passion to help others after trauma

- Trauma-informed yoga as a modality for survivors

- Trauma-informed Yoga vs. Traditional Yoga class

- Uplifting messages to empower you on your healing journey

Alyssa Gomez Staby's Bio:

"My name is Alyssa and I’m a trauma-informed yoga teacher. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from The University of Arizona and I’m a registered 200 HR RYT through Yoga Alliance. I’m a sexual assault survivor and am currently healing from C-PTSD, so I understand firsthand the disconnection from self and from our bodies that trauma survivors experience. I believe in hope, healing, and empowerment and am so thankful for Nat offering me to be a part of this space!"
