yogaHOPE: A Non-Proft Organization To Address Stress And Trauma On The Body (Video).

After looking at one of my favorite websites this afternoon called Elephant Journal I came across an article called How To Find “The One.” While at first glance of reading the article I was already hooked! The first line is this:  The One Lives Inside of You.  Those simple words are very powerful and inspired me very much. After reading the rest of the article I saw the woman who wrote the article, Sue Jones, was also the founder of this non-profit organization called yogaHOPE.

yogaHOPE is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing rehabilitative trauma-informed mind-body programming to women across the globe. yogaHOPE strives to lead women toward empowerment and recovery by cultivating mindfulness through yoga, meditation and non-judgmental self-inquiry. Already, hundreds of women have experienced the benefits of yogaHope’s Trauma Informed Mind Body (TIMBo) program, and are starting to heal themselves through personal empowerment.

The TIMBo program is the foundation of yogaHOPE’s work. TIMBo was developed specifically for women who have experienced trauma, chronic trauma, addiction and/or abuse. The program offers participants the tools to address the psycho-social, emotional, and physiological root causes of trauma and stress, and enables them to start the healing process and to improve their natural emotional regulation. The program is empirically based, trauma-informed, and gender-responsive, and utilizes the strengths of female survivors of trauma. Using mindfulness techniques that have proven effective in addressing emotional regulation and distress tolerance, TIMBo is simple, accessible and on the cutting-edge of trauma care.

Since the first TIMBo training in January 2012, we have witnessed profound healing and empowerment in diverse groups of women including social workers, Haitian community members, teachers, women in prison, stay-at-home mothers. It is though a recognition of common experience that women realize the potential for positive change, and by tapping into their roles as nurturers and caregivers they create transformation in their own lives and in their communities (yoga hope).

I’m really considering joining this program if I can find a training class near my area. I will post the link to the organization and a video below of what goes on in the program. My heart goes out to the women who have ample amounts of stress in their lives!

I believe through love, yoga, massage, nutritious foods, spiritual, and healing touch practices a person’s life can be changed dramatically. PEACE and LOVE to ALL!
