“Clients feel safe and welcome in these classes. Staff feel like they can breathe and just be for a few minutes. These classes are transformational. We talk about our partnership with Exhale to Inhale everywhere we go. It is beautiful, meaningful work. We think this is a program that every domestic violence service provider should have for both clients and staff. Any social service agency working with survivors of trauma would greatly benefit from a partnership with Exhale to Inhale. Thank you for all you do!”

“Yoga brings me a dignity of carriage as well as physical strength. I can walk into any place and feel like I belong. Or, if I’m not comfortable, I have the strength of mind to say to myself, ‘No, let’s go.’”

“Been a while since I've done yoga and I love your approach about doing what feels right for our bodies, rather than one ‘right’ way. Language like ‘you might’ or ‘try exploring’ was super helpful, and I'll use that language to be more mindful and kind to what my body is capable in the future! Left the session feeling more in tune with myself and aware of my surroundings.”

“The teacher was an excellent teacher, reminding us to ground and feel the textures under our hands and feet. The overall effect of this session helped me feel my body and honor what came up.”

“After the trauma I had experienced, my body closed down. The practice of yoga physically helped me but also using the breath to really spread the stability has been night and day.“
