Personal Safety for Women Workshop
with Carey Rockland & Sharon Sanghera
Sunday, February 10th
1:00pm-4:00pm
$50.00
Pre-registration recommended
Sliding scale options available*
Develop your inner strength and learn to move well and maintain personal safety in an urban environment. On the rare occasion where physical safe-guarding becomes necessary, a personal foundation and plan is helpful.
Our course teaches methods for maintaining personal space, boundaries, and self-awareness including incident
prevention and de-escalization. We train the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of ourselves to be prepared for any external scenario. We also teach self-defense basics including blocks, strikes, escapes, use of weapons of the environment and basic weapon take-aways. The participants in our program learn how to deal with reality-based physical scenarios.
All of the movement training, partner training and contact is optional. We create a safe space to learn this material.
*Women’s Self Preservation in co-operation with Bernal Yoga would like to offer this course at a sliding scale in response to the recent events in the neighborhood and around the city. We would like to make this program accessible to women regardless of price point. Please email [email protected] to discuss reduced or no-cost attendance.
