About the Facilitator:
My name is Dr. Sanaz Yagmai and I am an Iranian-American living in the United States. I’m a Trauma-Informed Coach, yoga teacher, doula and former therapist. I delved deep into personal growth through mind-body integrative practices to work through personal trauma and learned that I am far more powerful than I once thought. I learned to lean in to discomfort, to listen, and to surrender, all while redefining my relationship with myself. I re-learned how to love myself.
