Boston TIMBo trainings this fall..
Through the years of offering yoga classes to women in recovery yogaHOPE has been able to discover programming needs that were being missed. The women were hungry for a clear understanding of their emotional anatomy, and they were in need of simple, effective and accessible tools. They wanted more information on how they could take their yoga off their mats and into their lives!
Community teachers and clinicians were in need of a deliverable program that was replicable, measurable and most of all proven effective!
After years of research and development our program was born! yogaHOPE’s Trauma Informed Mind Body (TIMBo) program offers a deliverable, research-based curriculum based on the ways in which mind-body practices allow for long-term traumatic stress recovery. Using mindfulness techniques that have proven effective in addressing emotion regulation and distress tolerance, the TIMBo program is on the cutting-edge of trauma care. By focusing on reprogramming the body’s natural responses, TIMBo has the effect of empowering incarcerated and recovering women to understand and then regulate their responses to stimuli, thus stopping the dangerous cycle of violence in families and communities.
Women begin using self regulation and mindfulness tools after the very first class and the sense of empowerment is felt right away! Each session builds on the previous one, giving women the opportunity to notice the effectiveness of these tools on the spot. Group sharing allows women to share their discoveries and validate one another in making empowering choices. Trained facilitators will leave our training with the skills and tools to be able to implement our program in their own communities.
Eligible trainees will be chosen as yogaHOPE facilitators to work in the prison and train as yogaHOPE Lead Facilitators.

Why TIMBo?
FEEDBACK FROM THE FIRST BOSTON TIMBo FOUNDATIONS TRAINING:
“It's been amazing how much the TIMBo training has continued to transform me and my relationship to the world. I notice myself making eye contact with people more, whether it be my own son or the lady at dunkin' donuts. I am feeling connected to my human family and the experience of being human with such a deepened appreciation for what that means. Long held stories are falling away , as well as long held grief is surfacing. I feel grounded and conscious and aware...”
“Going through the program ourselves provided the most valuable tools to facilitate the program to others. In five days I could identify long suppressed emotions and body sensations, and most importantly sit in the discomfort.”
“I really am amazed by the feeling of sisterhood I walked away with on the last day. This material is powerful, and it was only coming back to my usual life and responsibilities that I realized how precious the atmosphere and collective understanding shared among these women really is.”
“The facilitators were outstanding content was fantastic, curriculum of the program was great.”
“It was honestly life-changing for me. I've been told by my therapist for months to try to "catch the moment" before I engage in destructive behavior and I couldn't figure out how to slow that moment or "switch" enough to catch it. Now I feel like I can catch that moment. I've finally been given a tool to do so.”
“Thank you for such a life changing experience.”
“Switching coaches was valuable because you saw how everyone can lead this program from their own authenticity, and it was nice to see how the three coaches present the material in their own style.”
“I learned so much about myself this weekend. This is such a powerful and beautifully designed program and training”
“I think this program is incredible, and I have to say that this was the best workshop/training I have ever been to, and an incredible experience personally as well.”
“I think this is the most important program in the world.”
“I am so floored by the depth of learning and growth I am experiencing from the training. I have been to, assisted and run so many workshops/retreats on everything from mental health to yoga, and this one was exceptionally life changing.”
“The Training manual is outstanding.”
“That was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Since probably Friday, I have had at least three or four experiences PER DAY where my reaction has been palpably different from how it would normally have been.”
“I thought having the facilitators in training go through the actual program was essential for us to truly grasp the program and be able to understand what the women will be going through when we take the program.”
