Learn about TIMBo program which starts May 4th.
TIMBo Program Series
TIMBo combines yoga-like movements, relaxation, breathing, meditation, & a workbook-based approach to explore the impact of emotions such as fear, guilt, shame, and grief.
By the time we are adults, most of us have experienced chronic stress or traumatic life events. Sometimes our emotions get stuck on “high” and are easily triggered. Or we may try to shut off some of our emotions altogether. Stress and trauma can build up in our bodies, causing emotions to get lodged there and blocking us from our own inner experiences. We may have symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or other stress responses, all of which can limit us or reduce our ability to make good choices about our health, habits, relationships, and behaviors.
This is a program for women to help process emotions and stress, which may have been stuck in their minds and bodies for a long time. Called TIMBo, the program runs for eight weeks of intact group sessions, and includes workbook-based discussions on topics such as compassion, fear, confidence, shame, grief, awareness, and perspective. The program also explores how and where emotions manifest in the body, and combines simple yoga-like movements, relaxation breathing, and guided meditation to help balance the nervous system and integrate new insights. Each session builds on the previous one, and the group discussions allow participants to share their discoveries and validate one another in making empowering choices.
This program runs for 8 weekly sessions, the first of which is an orientation, on Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., starting May 4th.
Please note: This is a program designed for women. No yoga experience is required, as the movements are gentle and appropriate for everyone. Due to the progressive nature of the program, attendance is required (no more than three total, or two consecutive, sessions can be missed) and space is limited to 16 participants.
This non-refundable program is $199.
