Therapeutic Yoga to Support the Nervous System (Women Only)
About this Event
Women -Only | Mondays | Nottingham City Centre 1.30pm - 2.45pm.
Join How We Heal CIC for a gentle, trauma-informed yoga class designed to support nervous system regulation, wellbeing and connection. This summer series is being offered as a pilot community wellbeing programme from How We Heal CIC. We are exploring how regular, trauma-informed therapeutic yoga sessions can provide ongoing support for women experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm and the effects of trauma, as well as those who have completed our Solace programmes and wish to remain connected to a supportive community.
These weekly sessions have been created for women who are seeking a gentler, body-based approach to wellbeing. They are open to anyone who has connected with How We Heal CIC looking for support, women who have previously attended our Solace programmes and those navigating the effects of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, trauma or difficult life experiences.
Many of us spend our lives disconnected from the messages our bodies are trying to communicate. We push through exhaustion, ignore tension and become stuck in patterns of survival. This class offers an opportunity to slow down, listen inwardly and begin building a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Drawing on trauma-informed yoga, somatic movement, breathwork and mindful rest, each session provides practical tools to help you feel more grounded, present and connected. Practices are offered in a way that prioritises a sense of safety, choice and autonomy, allowing you to participate in ways that feel supportive for your body.
This is not a fitness-based yoga class. There is no expectation to be flexible, experienced or able to perform particular postures. You are warmly invited to come exactly as you are.
Alongside the practices themselves, these sessions offer something many people tell us they are missing: a sense of community, connection and belonging. Whether you are at the beginning of your healing journey or looking for ongoing support after completing a How We Heal programme, this space is here for you.
