Join yoga teacher Molly Kitchen for this part theory, part practice workshop! She will first explain the basics of trauma-informed yoga and why it's important. Next, she will lead a group practice focused on personal choice and simple, accessible postures. Then she will finish with a period of relaxation, with time for questions and answers. No yoga experience necessary. Feel free to bring a mat if you have one, but they are not required. Each participant will be given a consent card to keep for their yoga practice. Brought to you by the Peer Advocates for Sexual Respect. #SurvivorSupportSeries

Dynamic speaker and bestselling author Emily Nagoski, PhD, will give a talk on her newly released book, Burnout, which explores the gap between societal expectations of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world. How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” when you’re already operating at 110% and aren’t recognized for it? Nagoski explains what we’re up against with compassion—and offers concrete strategies to end the stress cycle and fight back. This session is geared toward staff and faculty.
