Yoga Instruction

Eve Parker LCSW, SEP, RYT

Yoga Instruction

As a mental health and trauma therapist, Eve brings 10 years experience in the mental health field to her yoga and mindfulness teaching and is dedicated to bridging the gap between therapies for mind and body to provide a healing space from a holistic standpoint.
 
Eve enjoys teaching embodied, mindfully-sequenced vinyasa flow, detail-oriented and anatomy-based hatha, and deeply grounding yin and restorative practices. She weaves in themes from modern Western psychology, neuroscience, ancient Eastern philosophy, and applications for taking lessons learned on the mat into the rest of life to create a well-rounded practice to nourish mind, body, and spirit. 
 
Eve values cultivating a safe, trauma-informed space in which consent is paramount, making classes accessible to each student’s individual anatomy through empowering students to learn and listen to their bodies and through creative use of props and cues.
 
How I teach trauma-informed classes: 
• I do not use touch & limit moving around the space only after announcing it⁣
• I don’t use fragrance, chose music carefully, & don’t turn the lights low⁣
• I use invitational language, choose wording carefully, & don’t leave silence for long ⁣
• I give choices, encourage prop-use, & celebrate what you chose for your body ⁣⁣
• I invite focus to be on experiencing physical embodiment in the present moment ⁣⁣
• I empower students to be curious, gentle on themselves, & not worry about “getting it right” ⁣
