Helping to heal
from toxic stress and overcome obstacles
Safe Space Yoga is Vikara Village®'s signature trauma-informed intervention program. Safe Space Yoga gives individuals an opportunity to explore yoga and movement with specially trained yoga teachers. Our Facilitators work with those who have histories of poverty, being unhoused, trauma, addiction and behavioral challenges.
Mindful action, like yoga and other forms of movement, have been found to be a valuable tool in the healing process. There is evidence that yoga helps with overall well-being, depression and anxiety. Those who participate in trauma-informed yoga often:
- Improve mental health
- Increase self-awareness
- Reduce stress
- Improve overall well-being
