Trigger Warning: In this conversation, Tami and I speak about trauma as a whole and there are some mentions of sexual trauma. If this is something you’d rather not hear, skip this episode and tune in next time instead.

Tami Lysher comes to the practice from a trauma informed lens so in this episode, we take some time to talk about how we can be more open, sensitive, and aware of the needs of our students. Every person comes in with a different experience and as teachers, it’s our job to honor the student’s experience over our own time and time again. So let’s talk about that today -

As a movement educator for more than 30 years, Tami has focused on yoga and pilates. The practices have influenced her professionally and personally: working from the inside to the outside of the body. As a teacher, Tami uses a holistic approach that integrates movement with breathing, the nervous system,  and the brain-body connection. She has also created a Trauma-Informed Movement program for both adults and children. She’s a 16 year survivor of breast cancer and yoga was (and still is) truly a major part of her heal.
