“Exhale to Inhale offers people the opportunity and space to reconnect with themselves during trying times. To me, Exhale to Inhale means healing when we think it's not possible. The work they do isn't easy, but it's incredibly meaningful. It's because of this and my own experience with yoga that I have been honored to support Exhale to Inhale for nearly five years.”

“These yoga sessions were particularly engaging as they built upon one another from week to week, which created a sense of normalcy in my schedule. Without yoga equipment, I was able to practice mindfulness and learn stress reduction techniques while sitting in a desk chair. I intend to apply these skills in my weekly routine even after we return to office.”

“As a manager, I strongly believe intentional connection among teams and between colleagues is critical, always. This has taken on additional importance in our continued work-from-home environment, which can be isolating, and I appreciate finding ways to continue to support each other’s well-being in ‘being together, apart.’ The Exhale to Inhale series presented a terrific opportunity for us to all lean into a shared practice of yoga and mindful meditation. We had a gifted guide, and the sessions were restorative and gratifying.”

“The instructor was approachable, incredibly knowledgeable and resourced. She was strong in her humility and allowed us to think for ourselves with her guidance. She provided many different perspectives and outlooks that helped me broaden my understanding of trauma in yoga and beyond that, into the world. She fostered an atmosphere where others felt free in their sharing, which deepened our learning from one another. “

“It was even better than I expected. I learned so much that I am really grateful for. The most helpful skill for me was about choice-making because it's so connected to the communities I have been serving. I was motivated to take this training because I believe it can be really helpful for undeserved communities... It's like having a collective therapy with the possibility of facilitating healing for many people at the same time because these are skills that can support everyone's healing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“I loved how diverse everyone's backgrounds were. Hearing how each individual planned to bring this trauma-informed training into their own communities was very exciting & inspiring. Thank you all for a wonderfully constructed course. I feel prepared to bring this type of training to my community, especially those who do not have access to trauma-informed classes. The teachers were lovely & extremely helpful, the other trainees were wonderful to work with, and I finished the training feeling confident in my abilities to apply this to my own teaching.”

“This past weekend, I had the pleasure to partake in Exhale to Inhale's trauma-informed yoga training, learning how trauma affects the nervous system, developing skills and knowledge to create more inclusive spaces, and how to be a system of support during the healing-process. I left the training feeling empowered to incorporate these tools into my public classes and more conscious of how my words + presence may impact trauma-survivors.”
