The benefits of Trauma-Informed Yoga. Angie Berrett's story.

Angie Berrett (she/they) is a Registered Nurse and Advanced Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor who helps people suffering from mental health struggles relieve stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD through play and movement.

After going from child abuse survivor to registered nurse to yoga instructor, she has spent much of her life caring for others. In 2017 she hit rock bottom and started on a journey to heal her pain.
