Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Training with K10Yoga

We are going into our sixth year providing yoga teacher training programs in NC and beyond. Our programs are trauma-informed meaning that we teach soon-to-be teachers to understand that this is a people-focused practice. We don't subscribe to a certain methodology, but instead, one that recognizes actual humans in the room who have likely experienced some type of trauma in their lives. We believe in training yoga teachers in scope of practice, reminding them that they are not therapists...

The Pain of "215"

Hi everyone. We hope you're taking care of your spiritual, physical and mental health, wherever you are in the world. This has been a sombre week with the news of the discovery of the bodies of 215 precious children on the grounds of a residential school in Canada.

A Case for Better Funding of California’s Community Alternatives to Juvenile Detention and Probation [jjie.org]

By Emma Knight | June 1, 2021, Juvenile Justice Information Exchange, Supporters of the juvenile justice status quo wrongly claim that community-based organizations are not yet strong enough to serve all youth who may otherwise cycle through juvenile courts, detention centers and on and off parole rosters. Ideally, opponents to reform say, youth would be served by nonprofits close to home, but that cannot happen until enough suitable nonprofits are available. This line of thinking ignores...

Teen Girls Need Better Public Spaces to Hang Out [bloomberg.com]

By Alexandra Lange, for Bloomberg CityLab, May 28th, 2021 When the playscape Swing Time popped up in Boston in 2014, visitors started having too much fun.

By George Yancy , Truthout , June 1, 2021 There is so much grieving that Black people have yet to do. The grammar of our suffering from anti-Black racism has yet to be fully created.

Learning to Be Human: Jack-In-The-Box

BY: ERIN ROBINSON My mother works in child care. When I would drop by for a visit, I never paid close attention to what I was saying around the infants. “The babies won’t remember me,” I thought, “and they certainly won’t remember anything I do or say.
