Principles of Trauma-Informed Yin Yoga with Julie Johnson

In this podcast episode, I talk with Julie Johnson, founder of Integrate Network. Julie is an access & inclusion specialist and educator in the St. Louis County school system. She brings a wealth of experience to teaching Yin Yoga from a trauma-informed perspective. We cover some basics of what trauma-informed yoga is and why it's needed, and we discuss how Yin Yoga can be effective as a trauma recovery practice.  Julie has compiled an excellent set of guiding principles for trauma-informed Yin Yoga, and we spent time in this episode going over her chart in detail! (See this episode's page on the Moved To Meditate website to locate a copy of the chart.)  Whether you're a teacher of Yin Yoga, or a student looking to support your whole-person well-being in practice, I think you'll find some relevant and usable info in this conversation.
