is trauma sensitive yoga therapy for everyone?
Yes. Trauma-sensitive yoga therapy offers a safe and sensitive space for everyone to learn self-regulation and self-awareness skills that build a sustainable resilience. It is about learning to feel safe and at home in your body by practicing embodied choice making, and taking effective action.
Anxiety and depression, are often the result of unresolved trauma and trauma sensitive yoga offers practices that may help bring awareness to your nervous system and its survival responses, which in turn help you integrate stressful experiences.
​
There are 4 key themes;
​
Practice making choices
​
Present Moment Experience
​
Taking Effective Action
​
Creating Rhythms
​​
You might;
​
recognize that you are the expert of your body and experiences
experience the freedom to choose as a foundations of your practice
develop interoception, an experience of a 'felt sense'
feel more empowered as you practice choosing what feels right for your body at any moment
​
Kendra will:
​
minimize potential triggers such as touch, lighting, oils or incense, and Sanskrit language
recognize that everyone in the group has suffered some form of trauma
use invitational language allowing you more self-agency
offer you a choice of rhythms so you can sense into what feels useful
guide you into practicing present moment awareness.
not force your body into an ideal shape or alignment, but guide you into your own internal sensations
​
​
Yogic philosophy states that you are already whole and deeply connected to the world around you. To engage in yoga does not make you more complete, rather the practice invites you to see past illusions and remove obstacles that prevent you from knowing your innate true nature.
Dr Arielle Schwartz
Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.
