Starting tonight!

Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is an empirically validated, clinical intervention for complex trauma or chronic, treatment resistant Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, however you don’t have to have a history with trauma to benefit from it. With this approach, the power is within the individual, not the facilitator. TCTSY provides opportunities for participants to restore their connection between their mind and their body, and to cultivate a sense of agency that is often compromised as a result of trauma. The methodology is based on the central components of trauma theory, attachment theory, neuroscience, and hatha yoga, with an emphasis on body-based yoga forms and breathing practices. The focus through TCTSY is on the internal experiences of the participant, what the form feels like rather than looks like, or interception. Participants have opportunities to make choices on how to move their bodies based on their felt sensations. TCTSY has been supported by more than 10 original, peer-reviewed studies, and many more independent analyses.

About the Teacher: Amy Quarles is a therapist, a yoga teacher, and one of only 5 people in the state of Georgia who is certified as a TCTSY Trauma sensitive yoga teacher. She is an RYT 500. In her private practice she primarily works with Children and teens. She weaves yoga into their therapy sessions. Her therapy office is in the studio.

Classes are Thursdays in November at 6 pm in Calhoun. This is included in Calhoun memberships. Dalton members can attend for free. Anyone else can drop in for $29 per class. You can book on our website or on the Yovana Yoga App.

At Yovana Yoga, we believe yoga is for everyone! We use chairs and props to make poses either more attainable or more challenging—whatever best supports your unique practice. Props help you move more deeply into each pose while keeping your body safe and supported.

We meet you on the mat exactly where you are, and guide you deeper into your body—and ultimately, deeper into the real you.

🌿 New Student Offer: Enjoy your first month of unlimited classes for just $59!
Remember, the hardest part of your yoga journey is simply showing up for your first class. We’ll take care of the rest.

We still have spots open for Restorative Yoga Training this weekend! 💫

Whether you want to learn to teach Restorative Yoga or just practice it at home, this training is for you.

Restorative Yoga has evolved—and so have we.
Old-school Restorative Yoga still had you feeling a stretch...
Modern Restorative Yoga offers full support from props to create deep relaxation in the body and mind.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Add Restorative poses to your regular classes
✅ Teach full Restorative Yoga classes
✅ Create short, personal practices (even just 20 minutes can reset your nervous system!)

📍We meet this weekend at the Calhoun studio
💰Investment: $350
🎓 This training (and our Meditation training) counts toward your 300-hour certification with the Georgia Yoga Teacher Training Collective or as CEUs with Yoga Alliance.

The Georgia Yoga Teacher Training Collective is a Registered Yoga School (RYS 300) — meaning once you've completed this training (along with your 200-hour), you can register as an RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance.

Come rest, learn, and grow with us. 🌿

Sarah founded Yovana to share the healing benefits of yoga with the community.

Sarah decided to deepen her knowledge of yoga and become an instructor once she experienced how yoga helped her recover from a knee injury. She had already seen the transforming effects of yoga on her back pain. Before starting yoga, Sarah experienced back pain almost all the time. Several months into her yoga practice she realized the pain was lessened and at some point, it went away entirely. She has taken more than 150 hours of yoga for back care. Sarah completed her 500-hour teacher training with Susan Hopkins E-RYT 500 and I-AYT at Etowah Valley Yoga in Cartersville, GA. Sarah enhanced her knowledge of Yoga for back care by taking advanced teacher training with Lillah Schwartz E-RYT 500 and I-AYT who authored the book, “Healing Our Backs with Yoga”.

Sarah teaches alignment based hatha yoga, yoga for back care, yin yoga, supported chair yoga, active chair yoga and restorative yoga. Sarah’s goal is to have her students walk away from class feeling better than when they came in the door.

Sarah is originally from Calhoun, but hasn't lived in Calhoun for many years. Chasing her career around the world she lived overseas for nine years in Australia, Italy and England. She is now settled back in Gordon County. She lives in a 115 year old house in Ranger.
