What is trauma?
Trauma can be any life changing event such as death of a loved one, divorce, relationship breakdown or loss. However, it can be more complex which can be rooted in childhood issues, relationship problems, violence, violation etc. Most people experience trauma at some point in their life.
After any traumatic event we are often "in our heads" still living in survival mode and not present in the moment. This style of yoga brings the body into treatment complementing conventional talk therapies and can support healing and recovery by:
Reconnecting with your body in a safe, supportive environment
Learning to calm your nervous system/sooth the bodies alarm system:
Learning to calm down & self-regulate
Experience the present moment and cultivate positive emotions
Increasing spatial awareness and body attunement
Practicing making choices and taking effective action
