This is a short trauma-informed yoga practice led by Zabie Yamasaki. Yamasaki is founder of Transcending Sexual Trauma through Yoga and the Program Director of Trauma-Informed Programs at UCLA.In this video, she invites us all to do a few moments of nervous system regulation.
I had the honor of interviewing Zabie six years ago, and then publishing two pieces about trauma-informed yoga,, post-traumatic stress healing, and survivor-led programs for trauma survivors. I've followed her work ever since.
Last weekend, Zabie participated in the Unite Us online event and fundraiser along with dozens of other artists, songwriters, politicians, healers, and activists also participated such as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Arianna Huffington, David Whyte, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Steven McDonald, Eckhart Tolle, Elizabeth Gilbert, Jack Kornfield, Krista Tippett, Marianne Williamson, Marie Kondo, Naomi Shihab Nye, Oprah Winfrey, President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush, Valarie Kaur, Van Jones, and Yo-Yo Ma. To watch specific videos and sample other practices, go here. To learn more about Zabie, please visit her website, here.
