Yoga & Trauma Part 2

Lynn & Milo continue their conversation on Trauma and how yoga helps us process.  In today's episode, we cover the difference between regulating resources & coping mechanisms, and examples of each.  We discuss feeling our feelings as a practice and that it's not scary to feel those uncomfortable feelings when we are safe and regulated!  We discuss toxic masculinity & creating safe spaces for men to feel their feelings and what that can look like (hint, it's not dramatic crying). Stay tuned for part 3 where we cover Milo's upcoming series at Yoga Story!
