Yoga as Healing
UCD CARE offers Yoga as Healing every Fall and Spring quarters. This is an 8-week long program for survivors of sexual assault aimed at empowering survivors and helping them reconnect their mind and body through the practice of yoga. Yoga as Healing is open to UC Davis students, including undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Survivors of all genders are welcomed, no prior yoga experience is necessary, and CARE provides all the materials, including yoga mats and props. Like all CARE services, participation in the program is free of charge.
The program includes:
- Weekly themes
- Art
- Restorative postures
- Trauma-informed yoga instruction by a licensed yoga teacher
- Guided activities
- Journaling
- Positive affirmations
