Today on the podcast, April and Danielle are once again joined by Zabie Yamasaki, the Founder of Transcending Sexual Trauma through Yoga, an organization that offers trauma-informed yoga to survivors, consultation for universities and trauma agencies, and training for healing professionals. Zabie received her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Social Behavior and Education at UC Irvine and completed her graduate degree in Higher Education Administration and Student Affairs at George Washington University.
In part two of April and Danielle’s interview with Zabie, they get personal. Zabie shares how she has navigated conflict with friends and her partner. She talks about how her identity as an outgoing, second-generation immigrant of South Asian and Muslim background impacted her early life and experience with sex and relationships. Zabie also discloses how her definition of pleasure has shifted over time.
