Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Trauma Sensitive Yoga series and classes offered with Keri Sawyer focus on reconnecting with your body through a modified yoga practice that facilitates experiences of empowerment and cultivates a more positive relationship to your body in a safer space.
The emphasis isn't on the external expression or appearance of the yoga form but rather the focus is on the internal experience of the participant. By focusing on a felt sense of the body to inform choice making, this practice allows participants to restore their connection to their body and cultivate a sense that they can change the way their body feels that is often compromised as a result of stress or trauma.
This evidence based trauma sensitive yoga model for the Center for Trauma and Embodiment was developed by the Trauma Center in Boston MA. The program is highly researched and used worldwide.

Are you stuck in a whirlwind, unable to find your way to stillness and connection? Are you unsure of your path forward?
At its heart, yoga is a path of self discovery through a greater mind - body - soul connection. It is movement meditation with a purposeful present awareness that allows us to connect with our most authentic selves. As you dive into the study of self, the layers that keep you stuck will slowly fade as you begin to reveal a more connected self.
Yoga is a mirror reflecting the inner landscape of the practitioner. The yoga practice can be a sacred and safer place for self reflection and introspection. The self awareness and mindfulness you gain gives you insight to who you really are and where you want to go.
Present moment awareness can clear away fear and worry from the past and future allowing the transformative experience of the present. The journey of self discovery influences a practitioners relationship with themselves and how they connect with those around them.
Empowerment is not found in the perfection of a yoga form, but in being fully present. As you empower your practice, you uncover layers of self, creating a path that is transformative in the process.The meditative aspect lies in bringing complete attention to the present moment - creating a state of flow where thoughts fade, and the practitioner becomes one with the practice.
You're invited to explore a yoga practice that works with your own unique experiences and body as you begin to connect to your own inner landscape though movement and breath.
In the quiet moments, away from the noise of the outside world, what might you uncover about your self?
