Trauma is what occurs when you don’t feel safe, or feel too overwhelmed, to feel emotions in the body. Emotions are energy in the form of sensation. Different emotional states affect the physical body and its systems differently. Through an Integrative Yoga Therapy program one learns how to slowly and safely feel these states/emotions and allow the trapped emotional memory (i.e. trauma) to move its way through and out, experiencing a sense of freedom and ease in the body and thus in the mind as well.
In this upcoming Integrative Yoga Therapy and Support Group for Trauma, you will be guided through holistic practices to help navigate what’s been stuck within your body and find freedom and release through the practices of Qigong, Yin and Restorative Yoga, Somatic Meditation, Sound Healing, Chanting, Breathwork, Guided Self-massage and Acupressure.
In this series you will learn:
• The somatics of emotion – how emotions show up in the body and how to work with them.
• Somatic meditation – how to mindfully and compassionately name and be with the sensations in your body as they arise.
• How trauma affects your brain, body, and nervous system and how to find balance across these systems.
Space is limited to 10 participants.
This is a confidential yoga therapy group. No prior yoga experience is needed.
