Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma recovery is about finding ways of moving consciously with a sense of compassion, curiosity, and care. Using methods based on our current understanding of Interpersonal Neurobiology and neuropsychology (including Polyvagal Theory), we will embark on a journey of re-embodiment, co-regulation, healing, and discovery of reclaiming your deepest sense of belonging: to yourself, to others, and the world around you.
Trauma-focused or trauma-sensitive yoga is based on the understanding that trauma impacts the entire mind-body system. Bessel van der Kolk explains that “trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body.”
What to Expect
Trauma can manifest in various psychological and physical ways, often lying dormant until triggered by specific events or conditions. Recognizing the physical signs of trauma release can be crucial for healing and recovery.
Understanding these physical signs and recognizing them as part of the healing process can empower you to take appropriate steps toward recovery. It’s important to approach healing with patience and self-compassion, as the body’s timeline for releasing trauma can vary greatly.
Professional support from a yoga therapist, psychotherapy, and a supportive network of friends and family can make a substantial difference in successfully navigating the journey.
