Move and restore: Trauma-informed tools for mind and body 

Continuing care professionals face stressful and emotionally demanding situations every day. Over time, these experiences can build up and make it harder to care for ourselves and stay connected to others. This ongoing stress can affect our nervous systems and lead to burnout, emotional exhaustion, and unhealthy coping strategies. 

This webinar offers a simple, body-based way to help you manage stress and reconnect with your natural resilience. Trauma-informed chair yoga is a gentle, accessible practice based on trauma theory, modern postural chair yoga and neuroscience. It uses movement and breath to support your body and mind—whether you're at work or at home. 

Join Nicole Marcia, Clinical Counsellor and Yoga Therapist, for a supportive and interactive session. You’ll explore easy-to-use tools that help calm the nervous system, improve body awareness, and support your well-being—especially in the face of chronic stress. 

You’ll also be invited to take part in an all-levels, chair-based yoga practice that you can use anytime, right at your desk. No special clothing or experience is needed—just come dressed in something you can move in. 
 

Objectives: 

  • Learn simple, body-based practices to help manage stress and reconnect with your natural resilience.  
  • Explore practices to support body and mind at work and at home. 
  • Understand how to calm the nervous system, improve body awareness, and support well-being in the face of chronic stress. 

Outcomes: 

  • Better sleep 
  • Lower stress 
  • A stronger sense of safety and connection—both at work and in your personal life
