Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Many people carry the impacts of stress, trauma, or difficult life experiences in their bodies. Trauma-sensitive yoga offers gentle pathways to restore a sense of safety and connection, helping participants feel more at home within themselves. Rather than pushing or forcing, the practice invites curiosity, awareness, and compassion.
Trauma-sensitive yoga is a compassionate approach to movement and breath that emphasizes safety, choice, and present-moment awareness. This practice invites you to notice what feels supportive in your body and to explore movement at your own pace. By shifting the focus to inner experience, trauma-sensitive yoga creates space for healing, reconnection, and self-agency.
The benefits of trauma-sensitive yoga may look different for everyone, but some common experiences include:
-
Reconnecting with your body in ways that feel safe, supportive, and nourishing
-
Strengthening your capacity to meet stress and emotions with steadiness and awareness
-
Exploring choice and empowerment, honoring what feels right for you in each moment
-
Creating a sense of community, where practicing together—even virtually—reminds us that healing doesn’t have to happen alone and that support can be found in shared presence
-
Cultivating a sense of agency, discovering that you can influence how your body feels and gently shift your experience through movement and breath
These benefits often unfold gradually and gently, reminding us that healing is a process.
