Trauma Informed Yoga

Anyone who has experienced trauma, big or small, can benefit from trauma-informed yoga, including those with PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, or eating disorders. It is also beneficial for individuals who feel disconnected from their bodies, or those who have experienced high-stress situations like veterans, sexual assault survivors, or individuals who are incarcerated. The practice provides a safe environment to build body awareness, emotional regulation, and empowerment.

In each session, you will be guided through gentle movements and mindfulness exercises designed to promote healing and self-awareness.

Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy will help you!

Trauma-informed yoga differs from traditional yoga by prioritizing safety, choice, and empowerment over perfecting poses.

While general yoga often focuses on physical fitness, trauma-informed yoga's primary goal is nervous system regulation and fostering emotional safety.

It creates a supportive environment with invitational language, no hands-on adjustments, and a focus on nervous system regulation and body awareness, rather than physical fitness.

It is built on the principle that every cue is an invitation, not a command, which is crucial for individuals who may have experienced a lack of control.
