In this episode, we explore the transformative effects of combining EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) with yoga for trauma healing. We discuss the science behind EMDR, its protocols, and the benefits of integrating mindful movement, breathwork, and body awareness practices from yoga. This episode will share a practical yoga session and examples of how these modalities enhance therapeutic outcomes, fostering a sense of empowerment and embodiment in clients.
