Metta Yoga

The Emotional Weight You Carry 🖤

If you show up for other people’s worst moments, this one’s for you.

Vicarious trauma builds up from witnessing, hearing about, or responding to other people’s suffering.

If you’re running on empty, snapping at people you love, lying awake at night, or dreading your next shift before it even starts, there’s nothing wrong with you. That’s a documented response to the work you do.

Trauma isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a response of the body and nervous system, not a sign something is broken in you.

This 20-hour intensive is built for yoga teachers and helping professionals who want to be better equipped for working with trauma sensitive clients. We’ll cover the neurobiology of trauma, somatic psychology, social justice, and strength-based practices, plus ethics, breathwork, meditation, and class etiquette.

NOT A YOGA TEACHER? THAT’S OK.
This training is open to anyone wanting to deepen their own self-study, including social workers, counselors, and schoolteachers who want a real toolkit for trauma care.

FYI No full moon this month Dear friends, I’m home and on the mat. The past four months I’ve been in Europe caring for my mother at home Hospice until her gentle transition, welcomed by my father on the other side. A huge thank you to our Metta family. Our teachers, students, and front desk team, who kept everything running beautifully while I was away. I couldn’t be more grateful.

I return softer, deeper, and so grateful for this community. I’ve missed you all, and I can’t to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones. My weekly classes are back.

Also there’s some big news I’m excited to share: I’ll be leading again our Yoga Teacher Training in February 2027, as well as a retreat in my home region of Moravia in May 2027. Details are soon to follow, but please email us if you are interested.
