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.
I've tried a number of online yoga and meditation classes recently. I just took Floritza's class, 12/24/21, and it's the best by far. De-stressing, but energizing, getting me ready for the day (It starts at 9 Pacific Time). I look forward to taking it again.
Pam and Gary created an open space for me to examine my emotions surrounding the fears that regularly perpetuate my procrastination. It was a joy to connect with others to practice meditation for greater awareness and focus — thank you!
It's absolutely a stunning experience. A Meditation tour with Flori is probably the best way I can think of to start a beauty day. I really enjoyed her energy, lovely smile and sharing up and downs of life with folks in class. My heart is melting.
I've done many online yoga and meditation sessions over the last year, and this one, by FAR, is my favorite. Floritza keeps me coming back with her peaceful energy and her amazing sessions. I always feel renewed when I'm done with her classes.
