A special trauma informed offering that holds space to explore the impact of sound, vibration and co-regulation on the nervous system. This 30 minute class includes a brief, gentle warm up for the upper body, accessible breathwork and vocal toning practices such as singing, humming, chanting and mantra.

 Vocal toning offers a sense of calm and focus by increasing nitric oxide in the body and stimulating the "rest and digest" part of the nervous system. When practiced in community, it also offers the benefit of co-regulation, or attuning to a felt sense of safety, ease and connection within the presence of others who are tuned in to the same.

 This class is beginner friendly, accessible to any level of student. No experience or singing ability necessary.

An afternoon of grounding and activation towards choosing to prioritize the wellness of our communities in the voting booth.

Join us for a balanced event that both grounds and activates us in exploring the intersection of wellness and politics. Through intentional somatic movement and courageous conversations, we'll examine how our nervous systems carry the imprint of societal choices made with us, for us, or against us. From this space, we will explore actionable steps toward a liberated future for all.

We are calling in fellow women of positionality, power and privilege to join us as we own our bodies, our voices and our responsibility in taking action for the wellness of our communities.

This is a trauma-informed space designed with no experience necessary, only an open mind and heart.

Curated and co-led by Megan Davis, LISW-S, TCYM, CYT500 and Katie Kurtz, LISW-S

Our bodies have an amazing, innate ability to survive overwhelming circumstances. In fact, we are hard-wired for survival from birth. Our physical response to trauma and stress is instinctual; it just happens. Sometimes, that survival mechanism is so powerful that it stays turned "on" even after the threat or stress has passed. Other times, the stress is ongoing or chronic. This creates imbalance, or separation, between our mind, body and spirit. Residue of the trauma negatively affects thoughts, emotions, hormones, sleep patterns, immunity and relationships.

Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to mitigate these imbalances by activating the mechanisms that calm, soothe and re-integrate our mind and body, when offered through a trauma informed lens.

This trauma informed offering includes yoga based movement, breathing and somatic exercises to support nervous system regulation. Students are encouraged to engage with curiosity vs. judgment, and to make choices around what feels useful for them moment to moment, throughout the class.

Accessible to all levels, no yoga experience needed- all are welcome.

* BAVI IS NOT a Yoga Alliance Registered program. *

We are very upfront and honest about this choice.

The global yoga landscape is changing and our bold belief is while YA may have started out as a well-intentioned "non-profit", they are outdated. YA does not represent the ethics and inclusivity we work to embody. They do not provide adequate introspection, regulations and supervision to meet our standards in support and trainings. 

YA is not a governing body. They are not a certification body. They are simply a "criteria based model" which BAVI meets and exceeds their education standards.

BAVI has been carefully curated, offering a unique extensive program, rich with knowledge, exploring the depths of yoga roots, culture, principles, asana, various styles of practices + teachings, so you leave with a wealth of information and a network of resources to rely on. BAVI meets and and goes above the YA standards for a 200hr training program.

A YA certified program is not required by all studios to teach, but we can not guarantee a studio will not ask you. 

Upon completion graduates will receive a certification of completion for BAVI 200 hour yoga teacher immersion program from HARVEST yoga + wellness studio, and lead teachers Megan Davis + Tracey Duncko.

We would love to talk this through with you if you have any additional questions.

Our bodies have an amazing, innate ability to survive overwhelming circumstances. In fact, we are hard-wired for survival from birth. Our physical response to trauma and stress is instinctual; it just happens. Sometimes, that survival mechanism is so powerful that is stays turned "on" even after the threat or stress has passed. Other times, the stress is ongoing or chronic. This creates imbalance, or separation, between our mind, body and spirit. Residue of the trauma negatively affects thoughts, emotions, hormones, sleep patterns, immunity and relationships.

Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to positively impact these imbalances by activating the mechanisms that calm, soothe and re-integrate our mind and body.

This class includes gentle yoga poses, breathing and mindfulness exercises that ground and center the body. Practices will be offered as tools to build strength, flexibility and self awareness ( noticing sensation). Students are encouraged to move with curiosity vs. judgment, and make choices around what feels useful for them throughout the class.

The intention is to hold space and empower individuals to reclaim their bodies and build a set of self care practices that support them on their path toward healing. Accessible to all levels, no yoga experience needed. Ages 17 and up
