What is TRE®

Practiced by millions in over 90 countries, TRE is a simple, gentle and profound technique that facilitates the lengthening and relaxation of the psoas muscle and the release of physical and emotional tension and stress. The TRE exercises mildly tire the legs, triggering an involuntary shaking and trembling response, which begins in the legs and often spreads throughout the body. This natural response is the nervous system’s way of discharging long-held tension and unconscious body contraction, caused by everyday stress and traumatic life experiences, in order to restore the body to wholeness.

TRE was developed by Dr. David Berceli, a bio-energetic therapist and social worker, who used it successfully worldwide working with soldiers, firefighters, police officers and survivors of war, natural disasters and other traumatic circumstances to help alleviate the many symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

Originally created for the severe trauma of war, since the 80s, TRE has also been taught to the general public and it has proved very effective in diminishing the impact of everyday stress.

Most people describe the tremoring experience as pleasant and report many immediate improvements in their physical and emotional state.

Reported benefits include:

*Decrease anxiety

*Release chronic tension

*Discharge emotional and physical trauma

*Increase energy and flexibility

*Improve sleep and mood

*Decrease of aches, pains and symptoms of fibromyalgia, sciatica and other chronic conditions

This two-hour introductory class consists of theory and practice, including a facilitated TRE experience and it is suitable for all ages and fitness levels as the exercises can be modified to accommodate anybody’s need.
