In this insightful presentation, Celeste Mendelsohn, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, SEMDR Practitioner, I-Rest Level 1 Practitioner leads an insightful presentation about treating trauma through yoga.
Celeste learned this firsthand when she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and more. As her teacher and Yoga Therapist Nikki Meyers says,“The issues are in our tissues!”
Celeste began her journey into yoga and recovery 21 years ago when she was suffering from CPTSD, because she couldn’t do anything else and doctors were only able to hand out pills. She learned how to breathe, to be quiet internally, to honor her feelings and intuitions, and how to be gentle with herself. She learned that movement, not medication, was the road toward healing her mind, body and spirit. It became her journey to pass this knowledge on to others.
She demonstrates some of the therapeutic practices she has learned and talk about how yoga completely changed her life.
