In this episode we speak with Laura Wilson-McGinn and Ian McGinn. They both teach together through @movelikeyouyoga and have a special interest in working with police, army and first responders, particularly those experiencing severe PTSD. They deliver classes specifically for the Code 9 Foundation (a foundation established to support emergency services workers with PTSD), as well as sessions that everyone can attend. You can listen on Spotify, apple podcasts, you fav pod app or direct from our website podcast.flowartists.com (link in bio). Laura is of Aboriginal, English and Scottish decent and has worked extensively across the government, community legal, and university sectors as a policy writer, researcher, sessional academic, lecturer and advocate, and as a lawyer in the Victorian Supreme Court. Ian is a Detective Senior Constable with Victoria Police and he has a PhD in Australian Indigenous Studies from Monash University. He also works as a sessional academic at Swinburne University, teaching and lecturing in Criminology and Police Studies. They both have a passion for movement - with Laura coming from an extensive dance background including ballet, calisthenics, pole dance and aerial arts. Ian has a passion and love for jiu jitsu, yoga, fishing and bushwalking. In this conversation we discuss how all of these interests and life experiences weave together to inform the way they teach and live their yoga. Please be advised we do cover some sensitive topics including the death of a parent, and the mental health challenges connected with working in emergency services and adversarial justice including PTSD. They are both very passionate and engaging speakers, and we dig deep into their personal connection to the work that they do. It's a great episode and we hope you enjoy listening! . . . #theflowartistspodcast #yogateacherlife #yogaforptsd #traumainformed #traumainformedyoga #movelikeyouyoga #hypervigilance #yogaforfirstresponders #yogainstructor (at The Flow Artists Podcast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBChjoBM3W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When someone in your life is being hard to love, that may be the time when your efforts are most needed. When trauma is not properly addressed, our bodies can get stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode. We may lash out, pull away, or shut down. We may need help but not know how to ask. We may not even be able to process that we need help. (The connection between our logic and “red flag” sensor may be disconnected.) . . . This is when you’re needed most. Patience. Guidance towards resources that can help, like clinicians and other certified specialists. Patience. Safe spaces to talk, feel, or sit in silence. Patience. Presence. . . . This, too, is yoga. Removing the barrier between yourself and the Other who is hurting. Loving others are you’d love yourself. Loving others how you’d want to be loved. . . . #yoga #meditation #depression #trauma #traumaconsciousyoga #traumainformedyoga #mentalhealth #wellness #peace #goodvibes (at Deeply Rooted Wellness + Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pIAXSjOgM/?igshid=174lhnhzluh4u

Pour Out Joy. . . You will not pour out what you do not believe you have enough of. You will not pour out time, love, your resources, your compassion, your talents, your giftings, or anything else for that matter if you do not believe you have more than enough. You will hold on to them fiercely until you realize that in holding on you have lost already. . . I poured a bottle of Joy over my head as the afternoon sun washed over me. Ylang ylang, Jasmine, rose, bergamot and a few other oils poured over my soul. Typically I apply joy over my heart each morning. You need to know I need to be reminded daily to choose joy in the hard, joy in the dark, joy in the unknown, and joy in the places fear creeps in. . . We lived in fear for a long time. Joy was hard to find much less cultivate in survival mode. I searched for any glimpse of light in the dark, holding on to hope that what was before us was greater than what was behind us. I held on to joy when there was nothing else to hold onto. Joy in the dark yields a harvest like no other. . . Those years taught me much of what I know now that I never intended to learn. What you hold on to holds you. There is more than enough time, resources, honor, love, compassion and what ever else you currently believe you do not have enough of. Sow in the dark where the ground is hard, work the soil, water with patience and rise with a harvest in the light. Let joy pour over you even while it all appears out of reach and unseen. . . Pour it all out and wait ♥️. What is ahead of you is far great than what is behind you. Leave an aroma of Joy where ever you go. Change the atmosphere & you change the world one drop at a time. #changetheatmospherechangetheworld #reachoutrootdownriseup #yogaoffthemat #traumainformedyoga #joyiscontageous #essentioilyrooted #pouritout #lightrisesoutofthedark #whatyoupracticeyoubecome #thefrequencyofhealing #farmingisaprofessionofhope https://www.instagram.com/p/BzAoYUclT0Q/?igshid=1r4tk9mq8jfzx

"I would much rather teach my clients how to get their needs for touch met outside the therapeutic setting, and to have them know what kind of touch they need, what their limits are, what their tastes are, how to set boundaries and to ask for what they want, and to equip them to go out into their lives and get those needs met there. So, I teach them about self-awareness, body awareness and emotional awareness. I get them to be able to evaluate questions like ‘When we are working in this way do I feel more calm? Do I feel more present? Is my life working better? Am I more resilient?’" -Babette Rothschild | I share this quote and we explore its meanings in my trauma-informed yoga teacher trainings, though the content transcends any single healing space or relational healing dynamic. As a survivor, I have always found Babette Rothschild’s insights around holistic trauma healing to be deeply empowering, and, as a practioner, I have found her work to be incredibly humbling.

Day 71 Contemplation #whywewarrior It is not so simple as a moment or experience. It is a string of moments and experiences that helped to solidify yoga in my life. I can list them in brief: First experience was while at the former Armed Forces School of Music (Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, VA), while training to be an Army Musician in 2002. While in training, I attended a hatha yoga class offered at a gym on base. I remember how relaxed I felt and had never felt that before in my life. Second Experience was while reading the Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda during our first deployment to Iraq in 2003, upon returning from Iraq I subscribed to the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons (the organization founded by Yogananda), and to this day I continue to subscribe to the lessons. The third experience was while majoring in yoga at Naropa University. Studying yoga while at Naropa helped to get a thorough overview of the vastness that is yoga and I am grateful for all of it. The fourth experience was while taking the Warriors at Ease yoga training in July of 2020. The trauma-informed sample class was so impactful that I was crying during most of it. #yoga #veteran #combatveteran #complextrauma #traumainformedyoga #traumainformed #yogi #contemplation #practice #introspection #musician #artist (at Sugar Bowl Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWigBoflM1s/?utm_medium=tumblr

Want to learn more about accessible aerial yoga? Check out the video link in my bio! 🌸 Aerial yoga is very adaptable for different bodies and needs. However we rarely see older people, larger people or people with disabilities represented when it’s shared online. 🙃 Often it’s just intimidating looking circus style moves that can actually put people off trying aerial yoga!! 🌼 Usually the focus is on the physical aspects of this practice rather than benefits for mental health and the potential to better understand the philosophical aspects of this practice and ourselves (the aerial hammock has helped my meditation practice so much). It can also be helpful tool for navigating neurodiversity, managing chronic pain and other ‘invisible disabilities’. 🌿 This is something I really want to change, so it was an honor to present at the 2021 Embodied Yoga Summit on exploring the accessible and therapeutic aspects of aerial yoga. 🌱 @ranelovesyoga and I share some of the ways we adapt movements for different needs here at the studio and our own experiences practicing and teaching. 🌺 I also loved learning more from Laura Piquer @arunai_yoga , Kristin Mathiassen @bendablewellness and Renae Stevens @creativebodyflow the founder of Aerial Yoga Therapeutics who are all using the aerial hammock in innovative and healing ways. 🍃 It took me a minute but I finally uploaded the video to YouTube! It’s also viewable from our website, but since it goes for an hour sometimes it’s easier to save to watch later from there 😉 🪷 I hope you enjoy watching, and if you’d like to connect with other teachers doing this work I also started a Making Aerial Yoga More Accessible Facebook group! . . . #gardenofyoga #makingaerialyogamoreaccessible #accessibleaerialyoga #accessibleyoga #yogaforchronicpain #neurodiversity #yogatherapy #aerialyogatherapeutics #bodypositiveyoga #traumainformedyoga (at Garden of Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQO-xsv1Az/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩!⁣ .⁣ If you're in a relationship with someone that struggles with depression know that's it's not your fault. Unfortunately, the depression makes us feels that we are worthless, unlovable, and destructive so we tend to want to "save" others from these emotions so our walls come up thinking that we are protecting you from what we feel.⁣ .⁣ So, please be gentle with us, and know that we don't want to hurt you, as much as we are hurting ourselves. . . . . . #depressionawareness #depression #depressionandanxiety #depressionfighter #depressionhelp #depressionisreal #depressionlife #depressionrecovery #traumainformedyoga #trauma #traumabonding #traumacoach #traumahealing #traumainformed #traumainformedcare #traumarecovery #traumasurvivor #traumatherapy #selflove #healthymindhealthybody #selfregulation #mentalhealthawarness #personalitydisorder #dealingwithdepression #thereisasolution #creatinghappiness (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMxkZSMDEHK/?igshid=15yvzieijgezl

@drheidigreen @download.ins --- We talk a lot about healing our own inner child wounds, but we might not spend enough time acknowledging our parents’ wounds. Their painful experiences changed them and those changes impacted us (the same way their parents’ pain impacted them). . Talking about mental health openly and seeking mental health care didn’t become normalized until Gen X opened that door. Mental health stigma is still prevalent but we are on the right track. . Our parents and grandparents may not have been able to acknowledge and heal their inner child wounds, but we can. And when we do, not only will we break the cycle of generational trauma for our children and grandchildren, but we will effectively heal the wounds of our lineage before us. That’s pretty powerful. ❤️ . . . #yogaformentalhealth #yogafortrauma #selfcompassion #selfloveforall #traumainformedyoga #selfloveiskey #selflovematters #selflovewarrior #selflovemovement #generationalhealing #goodmentalhealth #healyoursoul #healyourlife #healyourheart #healyourmind #traumarecovery #traumahealing #healingfromtrauma #recoveryisreal #mentalhealthadvocacy #mentalhealthandwellness #emotionalhealthmatters #emotionalwellness #emotionalwellbeing #emotionalhealing #mindfulnessmatters #generationaltrauma #therapythursday #selfacceptance #emotionalhealth (at Richmond, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLWx8X8FIQe/?igshid=v9j9mk9ac438

Ran across some old photos of me from 2000 - 20 years ago - this is a two part reminder... 💘Don’t judge a person for who they were or even who they are now. Each of us has a chance to change. Have faith. None of us know the trauma that a person has hiding inside of them. On the outside, it’s easy to think my life was paved in promised. Quite the contrary. Who you see now is a warrior who survived. 💔the first photos are of a depressed drug addicted suicidal girl who was so broken that she couldn’t imagine a future into the next day, let alone 20 years from then. Everyone had given up me, bc who wants to love a person with a mission to kill themselves with destructive tendencies? 💕Thank God I didn’t die when I was 20. Thank God I began to see a worth in my own life. It’s truly a miracle I am here now. Maybe that is why I advocate for holistic healthcare the way I do. Maybe that is why life has placed me in the path to helping others heal too. #dontgiveup #holistichealth #survivedsuicide #healthcoach #vidalocahealthfitness #vidalocayogawellness #mentalhealthawareness #emotionalhealth #traumainformedyoga #recoveryispossible (at VidaLoca Yoga & Wellness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG3H_ENJm4A/?igshid=xsx1106j61c6

One week until our course on trauma-informed yoga and meditation for survivors launches! I’m reviewing videos today and really moved by the ways in which our network of practitioners shared about their experiences not only working with survivors but also navigating their own healing through a variety of practices. This little clip is from my welcome video. I thought it was important to name my own experience engaging with these yoga and meditation, the vulnerabilities and the opportunities that somatic approaches to healing revealed. We are registering new participants every day now and would love for you to join us. Also, many of you asked so I wanted to share that yoga teachers affiliated with the Yoga Alliance will also receive 16 noncontact CEs for participating in the course. Stay tuned for more videos in our Instastories!

🧘🏽‍♀️PERSONAL GROWTH AND YOGA🧘🏽‍♀️⁣ ⁣ “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” John Maxwell⁣ ⁣ Connecting back to my Friday post on growth:⁣ ⁣ Yoga was never intended to be about the body. The ancient Yogis of India saw the body as a mere vehicle for the soul. They took care of their body because they wanted to keep it alive long enough to achieve their spiritual goals.⁣ ⁣ How does yoga help us to grow❓⁣ ⁣ 🕉 Improves our connection to ourselves⁣ 🕉 Establishes body awareness⁣ 🕉 Creates awareness of emotions, thoughts, behaviour⁣ 🕉 Helps to still the mind⁣ 🕉 Improves our resilience towards stress⁣ 🕉 Teaches us to surrender and let go⁣ ⁣ How does yoga help YOU to become a better person❓⁣ ⁣ 📸 @duesseldorf_rita_heinegans ⁣ #yogaandpersonalgrowth #growwithyoga #personaldevelopment #growingpains #hardship #evolve #selflove #selfcare #loveyourself #mentalhealth #anxiety #transformation #mindfulness #traumainformedyoga #yogabeyondthemat #corcyogafamily #yogini #yogateacher #ryt450 #yogaliving #practiceyoga #meditation #mentalhealthmatters #growthmindset #personalgrowth #success #leadership #personalgrowthjourney #spritualgrowth #awareness (at Duisburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCitTgHj2x9/?igshid=cy7ky3vxbvwv

🌕 im Skorpion, Erd-Element Yang Aspekt: während all dem radikalen Wechsel (Uranus:Stier) WIE hast Du Dein Wachstum verwirklich? WO bist Du gewachsen und wie willst Du das nun stabilisieren und “fire-proof” machen? Das Erdelement läd uns ein, Heilsein, Ganzsein als natürlich anzusehen. Hat Dich Dein Wachstum in den letzten 8 Wochen näher an diese Wahrheit herangebracht? Was willst Du in einem langsamen, beständigen Rhythmus weiterführen? 🇺🇸 Full Moon 🌕 in Scorpio, active Earth element, yang aspect: during the radical change (Uranus in Taurus) over the last 8 weeks it’s now time to take a breather and ask yourself HOW have I changed, WHERE have I grown and HOW do I wanna stabilize that? Fire 🔥 is coming, so transformation awaits. The earth element with its focus on outward movement invites us to understand wholeness as our natural state. Has your growth emphasized this essential truth? What do you intent to continue in a slow, steady pace? 🇪🇸 Luna llena 🌕 en Escorpio, elemento tierra, aspecto Yang: despues del cambio radical (Uranos en Tauro) te preguntas CÓMO has crecido, DÓNDE noté mi crecimiento y CÓMO voy a establecer esto mientras sigo vivir mi vida ese año? No tardará tanto y vamos a llevar todo esto a través del fuego (elemento qué sigue tierra Yang) y tal vez ahorita sea esencial que realizamos que ser sano/a es en efecto nuestro estado natural. Tu crecimiento subraya esa verdad esencial?

The moon represents our subconscious emotions. The moon is our emotional responses to our perceptions and outside stimuli that we encounter. The phases of the moon reflect the phases we transition throughout the month. The Full Moon is a culmination of these phases, indicating a time to reflect and release what has not served our highest good. 🌙 Join me on IG live, Tuesday January 19th at 10:30am CST with @trauma_conscious_yoga_method as we discuss our upcoming Full Moon Healing Circle virtual event. We will discuss the inspiration behind this collaboration as well as a brief overview of the evening and what to expect. 🌙 Not registered yet? Our early bird rate of $35 runs through January 20th!!
