One in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime - it affects approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults every year. PTSD can occur in anyone of any age, ethnicity, nationality, or culture. The lifetime prevalence in adolescents (aged 13 -18) is 8%, and women are twice as likely than men to have PTSD.
PTSD may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of distressing circumstances, including natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist acts, rape/sexual assault, historical trauma/war, intimate partner violence and bullying. A person may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening, and this could affect the person’s mental, physical, social, and/or spiritual well-being.
Unfortunately, long after the traumatic event has ended, people with PTSD may continue to have intense, disturbing thoughts, and feelings related to their experience.
This workshop aims to provide an in-depth understanding about PTSD including current treatments and updated research studies on the condition, as well as introducing participants to a meditation method focused on cleansing stressed mind to help relieve the PTSD symptoms.
The combined meditation plus flow is centering. Floritza transmits positive, nurturing energy and is a solid instructor.
I love the class! Floritza is a breath of fresh air. If you want to feel happy, come to this class. I wish it was every day.
Love this class! I go almost every Monday and Friday and it’s a wonderful couple hours of my week! I love that it starts with a releasing meditation and continues with a medium paced body release. Every class has different sequence so it’s stays new and fresh. Floritza has such a soothing voice and her guidance through every move feels organic. I especially love that she guides our breath as well. I sometimes forget to breathe so it really makes a different to know when the in-breath and out-breath is meant to land during each pose. Thank you for filling my weeks with intention and attention to the body, mind and breath!
I was always looking for a modality to end my anger, resentment, hurts and chaotic mind. I spent years doing that. No modality shows you how to do that, until I got to this one. I've been to all of them. I knew almost immediately that this was it. My nervous system calmed and immune system went up, and I no longer have a dust allergy, (shocking), or dry nose problem. Better focus, more joy and stronger memory. The quality of my life has gone up significantly after 2 months. This program is truly genius. If this is how good it already is, I can't wait for the rest. I'd recommend to everyone. I am so thankful.
