Welcome

At Transformative Changes, we are credentialed to teach yoga across the lifespan, including kid, adult, and chair yoga and practice trauma-informed, equitable, accessible, community-based healing-centered yoga. Center your physical, mental, and emotional well-being by cultivating a yoga and meditation practice to connect the mind with the body, breath with movement.

At Transformative Changes, we are credentialed Social Emotional Learning Facilitators (SEL*F). Building off of emotional intelligence, through equity-centered social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies and research-based and CASEL aligned SEL, we teach community leaders, community members, and youth  strategies to resolve conflicts peacefully, handle emotions positively, empathize, and make mindful, responsible decisions.

At Transformative Changes, we are credentialed Healing-Centered Engagement (HCE) practitioners. HCE is an asset driven approach aimed at holistic restoration and well-being by  transforming the root causes of the harm within institutions. HCE is explicitly political rather than clinical, culturally grounded, views healing as a restorative of identity, is asset driven rather than deficit-based, and supports providers in their own well-being.

Justice is the systematic fair treatment of people so that historically disenfranchised  individuals can achieve their full potential, regardless of race, ethnicity or the community in which they live. This training will examine the social justice impacts on the legislative process and provide tips for advocates to influence lawmakers priorities. It will cover topics including voter suppression, advocacy strategies, and sharing stories. 

Mindful and intentional storytelling is at the heart of truth, healing, repair, reconciliation, and advocacy.

Explore the history and value of truth-telling and storytelling followed by a poetry workshop and a social identity storytelling workshop to amplify our own stories and voices. 

Racial healing involves focusing on ways for all of us to heal from the wounds of the past to build mutually respectful relationships across racial and ethnic lines that honor and value each person's humanity.

Explore racial trauma, truth telling, healing, reconciliation and repair in tandem with a 12-step model to recovering from white conditioning. 

Social justice includes a vision of society that is equitable and all members are physically and psychologically safe and secure. The five main principles of social justice include access to resources, equity, participation, diversity, and human rights. Social justice education centers the full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs.
