Theresa’s Blog – direct from her yoga Mat!
Most peeps claim, saying that this world we perceive as real is actually an illusion, not unlike a film being projected onto a screen. Most of us are so involved in the projection that we don’t understand it for what it is. We are completely caught up in the illusion, imagining that we are in a life and death struggle and taking it very seriously.
Pay attention to the enlightened few, on the other hand, live their lives in the light of the awareness that what most of us perceive as reality is a passing fancy. As a result, they behave with detachment, compassion, and wisdom, while the rest of us struggle and writhe upon the stage in the play of our life. Having the wisdom to know that life is but a dream does not mean that we ignore it or don’t do our best with the twists and turns of our fate. Rather, like an actress who plays her role fully even as she knows it’s only a role, we engage in the unfolding drama, but with a little more freedom because we know that this is not the totality of who we are.
And life is more of an improvisation than it is like a play whose lines have already been written, whose end is already known. Like an improviser, we have choices to make and the more we embrace the illusionary quality of the performance, the lighter we can be on the planet, on others, and on ourselves. We can truly play with the shadows cast by the light of the projector, fully engaging without getting bogged down.

Embodied Healing Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Facilitator: Laurita Gorman – Registered Social Worker (Masters of Social Work), and mind-body therapist and has worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. She has specialized training in trauma with a focus on using the body for healing.
Trauma affects the body’s physiology and traumatic memories are stored somatically. Trauma informed yoga can be an enormous part of the healing process for trauma survivors to reclaim their body as their own. Through embodied and trauma informed yoga, we learn to cultivate stillness and to stay present with what arises. For a trauma survivor, learning to tolerate what arises (either feelings, thoughts or physical sensation) can be the first step in building a relationship with their body.
In this 6 week program, participants will learn:
- to make peace with and reclaim their body
- learn that their body can be reliable, safe, and effective
- learn calming and centering techniques
- learn strategies to face triggers in a safe, non-harmful way
- learn to regulate emotional and physiological states
Dates: Mondays, Next session dates TBD
Times: 1:45pm – 4:25pm
Investment: $120.00 + HST
All are warmly welcome, no yoga experience necessary. We strive to make the classes accessible to everybody regardless of physical ability. A phone consultation is required with Laurita Gorman for all interested registrants in order to qualify each person for this 6 week program. Please email Laurita at [email protected] to book a consult, or call Yoga Source for more information, PH#905-830-9700.
