Conversations with Brandt: Going Beyond Trauma-Informed Yoga

In this conversation with yoga therapist Joe Simek and Breathing Deeply founder Brandt Passalacqua, Brandt discusses trauma and yoga therapy. There are a lot of schools of thought about how to approach trauma through yoga and the more common one is a more passive, slower approach, allowing the practitioner to explore movement and breath while giving lots of natural cueing. Although this technique can be really effective, there are other ways to approach trauma. Brandt shares with us what those other approaches are so we can go beyond what we most commonly know as ‘trauma-informed yoga’. We’d love to know your thoughts on using yoga as a means to recover from trauma. Share your experiences as a teacher with us in the comments or over on our Instagram or Facebook page (linked below)!
