Elisabeth Schramm
In June 2022 I closed my therapy practice, having worked as a clinical social worker for 40 years in various mental health settings and in private practice for the latter part of my career. Yoga and meditation have been important practices in my life supporting me in work and in living in this human body.
Yoga and Meditation became essential practices during 10 years of supporting and caring for my parents, along with my sisters. I learned to manage compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma in my work, so that I was able to be steady and present for others, and to maintain my own health and well-being.
My personal practice, and commitment to attending 2 to 3 retreats each year has become an integral part of life. I have been mentored in the past by Molly Swan, Norman Feldman and currently by Jill Davey. For a number of years, I’ve participated in a Sutta Study group facilitated by Norman Feldman. During the Meditation Teacher training, I appreciated the mentorship of Jill Davey, Dawn Mauricio, Daryl Lynn Ross and Jozen Gibori. I also appreciate the on-going support and mentorship from Jacqueline and Ken!
I love offering chair yoga, and gentle flow classes, along with meditation. My teaching is informed by Trauma Sensitive Yoga Teacher Training (Kripalu). Yoga and mindfulness practices have proven to be of benefit in building self awareness in body, mind and emotion. These practices may be helpful in regulating and processing emotion. Clients and yoga students will often report a feeling of being more balanced, at ease, and a notable shift toward self acceptance and self compassion.
Description
Explore traditional yoga practices with a focus on building
strength and enhancing balance. With the addition of weight
bearing practices we have the potential to strenthen and build
bones. Yoga has already helped many of us improve our balance. Elisabeth has been very inspired by what she's learned in a 75 hour
training “Teaching Yoga for Osteoporosis”. This class is appropriate
for students with or without this diagnosis. Chairs will be
available for students who prefer to have that support. Bring your
yoga mat along to class, and a long Theraband if you have one.
Latex-free Therabands will be available to purchase for $10 at
your first class.
Note: entrance to the studio is either through Found Coffee (8am - 4pm), or through the side door off of Nottingham St. Plenty of parking on side streets.
