Today I'm sharing a little bit about the approach behind the trauma-sensitive yoga practices that I offer on this podcast. I also refer to them as movement for healing and resilience, hence the episode title :)

If you find an inside look into your movement practices interesting, enjoy!

Be moving, be you!

In this Mini Moves episode of Moved to Heal, I offer a quick standing sequence of sunbreaths and warrior 1. It might be an energizing or "grounding" practice, depending on your preferences and where you're at today. If you want a longer or more full-body yoga practice today, you might precede this episode with the Mini Moves from Dec 6th. I hope you'll use it however it suits you!

- Sunbreaths
- Forward Lunge stance (aka Warrior 1) with fold and lift
