what is trauma aware yoga?
All Kendra's classes are trauma aware. Trauma-aware yoga practice offers a safe and sensitive space for everyone to learn self-regulation and self-awareness skills that build sustainable resilience. It is about feeling safe and at-home in our bodies by offering choice. Anxiety and depression, are often the result of unresolved trauma.
Some principles you will find in Kendra's trauma aware classes are;
-
Recognition that you are the expert of your body and experiences.
-
Safety and comfort are the foundation of the practice.
-
Focus is on developing interoception, an experience of a 'felt sense'.
-
Recognition that offering choices empower you to choose what feels right for your body at any moment.
-
Minimize overstimulation of senses by dimming lights, not using oils or incense, and use of Sanskrit language.
-
The assumption that everyone in the class has suffered some form of trauma.
-
Acknowledgment that somebody shapes and yoga props might make students feel vulnerable.
-
The use of invitational language allows self-agency.
-
Use of rhythms to offer grounding and a feeling of safety.
-
Practicing present moment awareness.
-
The use of touch is with permission and with the intention to increase interoception not force the body into an ideal shape.
