2025 Yoga, Disability and Transformation Session One – What is Strength?

What is Strength?

Everybody wants to be stronger. This is especially true then living with trauma, loss, and disability. The MBS adaptive yoga community is excited to invite into our midst Mariah Rooney (MSW, LCSW/LICSW). As a professional counselor, educator, and justice advocate, Mariah is an expert in healing and transforming trauma in all forms. She is also co-founder of the non-profit Trauma Informed Weight Lifting. Matthew and Mariah will explore the intersection of physical strength, psychological strength, and the underlying source of resilience. Expect a lively discussion as there is much to unpack. And of course, the MBS community’s wisdom, comments, and reaction are vital to a successful event. We will close with a shared yoga practice inspired by the workshop itself. Come find us!
