Trauma Informed Yoga with Dr. Ann Bortz

Nowadays the phrase “trauma informed yoga” is familiar to most of us. But if you’ve heard the term and assume it doesn’t represent the students you teach or practice alongside, you may be surprised to hear in this episode that up to 90% of adults will experience a traumatic event in their lives.
Today’s guest, Dr. Ann Bortz, is a licensed clinical psychologist with almost 30 years in the field. Host Rachel speaks with Dr. Bortz about her specialty working with those who are impacted by trauma. She explains how yoga gave her the tools to help recognize and respond to what she was encountering with her patients and realized that it could also be a helpful tool for them, too.
Listen in to learn what trauma is, who it most commonly affects, how it changes the brain and body, and which yoga practices can help.
“Verbal interventions alone aren't getting the job done.” - Dr. Ann Bortz.
