In this series will be the following classes:

- Regulation and Relaxation Yoga every Sunday in February

- Meditation class every Sunday in February

- Satsang Q&A about your yoga and meditation practice, Saturdays February 7 and 21

In the Regulation and Relaxation Yoga class, you will learn and practice gentle but effective techniques for self-regulation. It is suitable for people who don't like or trust Yoga in the West, for all ages, religious (non-)beliefs and levels of 'fitness'. There will be no gymnastics. Classes are CPTSD-informed and aimed at helping relieve some of its effects.

The sessions are a way to practice self care and self-solidarity and an opportunity to experience Yoga without the baggage of appropriation and misunderstanding.

There will be no sharing of participants' video feed to the class. Should there be any trolling we will not notice it :) If you would like to organize a class or retreat exclusively for your community, please get in touch.

The classes are donation based on a pay-it forward and karma basis. One can type in "0" also, and/or decide to donate afterwards. We request yoga/meditation teachers to donate at least 15.- per class.
