Yoga
Operation Grow features a yoga and meditation studio to provide further support to women who have experienced violence. Yoga and meditation are considered a best practice in their ability to reduce the impacts of trauma by re-integrating the mind and body (Van Der Kolk, 2014). As a result of trauma, we become disconnected from our physical bodies and trauma-informed yoga can help to re-establish this connection. Yoga sessions must move at a snail pace, in order to be able to work through their discomfort and heal. Connection to others, to ourselves, and to something larger than ourselves is vital to overcome the impacts of trauma (Haskell, 2014). Yoga has the ability to build these connections, by cultivating a relationship with the interior world and a caring, loving sensual relationship to self (Van Der Kolk, 2014).
