Trauma Informed

Trauma Informed emphasizes reassurance, empowers choice, and shares tools for resilience and self-regulation.

At Ahava Collective you can expect the following experience:

• We focus on accessibility by offering modifications for many poses. 

• The option to change or skip any pose that does not empower your practice-you are the expert on what feels most appropriate in your body.

• Cuing and guidance that seeks to avoid potential triggering or harmful language. 

• A calming environment with an atmosphere of acceptance, encouragement, curiosity, and self-discovery.

• No hands-on assists/No one will touch you unless specifically requested by the student, particularly as it results in the use of props 

• Compassionate instruction with intention to cultivate a judgment free environment. 

• Instruction that encourages present moment awareness of both positive and negative life experiences and their accompanying emotions- with an understanding this is where growth and transformation occurs. 

• Varied options and opportunities for practicing yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. Taking yoga beyond just the movement.
