Have you ever avoided an uncomfortable feeling? Or maybe you’ve judged yourself harshly for being too reactive or exhibiting anger. Or perhaps you have flat-out lived in denial of your emotional reality. Have you avoided looking at the “shadow side” of your life, pushing the painful and difficult feelings to the back burner to be dealt with another day? Or have you ever bypassed them altogether – only focusing on positive feelings or blissful pursuits? 

This is in no way unique. Many of us avoid or resist the painful parts of life so we can just keep going. In truth though, this level of avoidance can have a multitude of negative consequences on your health and wellness, and most certainly keeps us from honoring–and loving–all aspects of ourselves as precious and divine.

“If we place too much importance on the bigger spiritual picture, we can easily bypass the work that is needed to truly heal and evolve.”

Trauma is defined as anything that overwhelms our ability to cope and leaves us feeling helpless, hopeless, out of control, or unable to respond. Since everything is connected, all trauma has an impact on the body. When we experience a trauma, there is a ripple effect in the body-mind that creates a contraction in the muscles and a similar effect in the subtle energy centers of the body called chakras. The body-mind holds the resonance of the emotions and stores them inside of our cells. Our bodies become tense. Our chakras become blocked and prana doesn’t flow as it should through the nadis (our energy pathways). The cumulative effect over time can make us sick, hypervigilant, reactive, or diseased. 

By the end of the 12 weeks, you’ll be better able to:

• have a deeper relationship with self/Self
• honor and integrate the complexity of our human beingness
• embrace the dark, messy parts of ourselves
• confront your urge to bypass the big feelings

In this immersion, you will learn about:

• Shadow work, the ego, and the kleshas
• Trauma, the brain, the central nervous system, and the vagus nerve
• Trauma-informed yoga practices
• Self-regulation practices
• The mind/body connection
• The nadis and subtle body
• The koshas (energetic anatomy)
• The chakra system
• Asana and pranayama that specifically align with the various energy centers
• And so much more!

This immersion is for most levels of students interested in learning more about trauma’s effect on the physical and subtle body, including an experiential understanding of the seven primary chakras through practices that include asana, meditation, and breathwork. 

The spiritual journey is unique for everyone. People approach this content from different perspectives: some are more literal and logical, and some come from a more emotional place, others view this from a relationship with God or mysticism…all are welcome here. 

If you are a teacher, this work will deepen your understanding of the chakra systems, trauma-informed yoga techniques, and how they apply to your life, studentship, and teaching. Seane will guide you into how you can bring this work into your classrooms and the ways you can weave it into our daily teachings. 

This particular topic can also be confronting, so it is important to know that you may experience some big feelings, emotional shifts, and changes in your physical and energetic bodies. This is not meant to be a replacement for therapy or other modalities of healing from trauma. Rather this work is a loving complement to other modalities as Seane will carefully unpack the spiritual components of this kind of personal growth work.
