Trauma Informed Yoga & Reiki
Activity #25-422334
Trauma doesn't just affect the mind It can also be held in the body Trauma-informed yoga may include increased body awareness in a safe and controlled way, which can promote feelings of physical, emotional and psychological safety It can address nervous system deregulation, disconnection and feelings of disconnection from the body or surroundings, which are common after experiencing trauma While many regular yoga classes encourage students to move through emotional discomfort, traumainformed yoga creates a safe space for people to pay attention to signs of dissociation and distress that may come up, and to stop whenever they need Traumainformed yoga is less about how poses are executed and more about the feeling of embodiment (being within your body) within a pose Establishing presence and finding a sense of grounding can help you connect to your mind and body in a way that feels secure as you are guided through a supportive experience, you may observe sensations and emotions that arise without feeling triggered or overwhelmed
