Learn about the body's natural ability to release stress and trauma, then let your breath empower you to let go.
About this Event

This 90-minute workshop begins with an introduction to Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®). You’ll learn the exercises, explore your body’s natural tremoring response, ask questions, and receive supportive coaching as you find a pace that feels right for you.

Once you’re comfortable with the practice, we’ll begin guided breathwork. You’re welcome to continue tremoring as you breathe, pause the tremors and focus only on your breath, or move between the two. The experience is invitational and body-led, with plenty of room to choose what feels most supportive in each moment.

Together, TRE and breathwork offer two different doorways into the body. Tremoring can help soften muscular tension, while conscious breathing can deepen awareness, create space for emotion, and support a greater sense of presence and connection.

You may leave feeling lighter, calmer, energized, emotionally spacious, or simply more connected to yourself. There is no particular experience you are expected to have.


What is TRE®?

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a simple series of exercises that gently activate the body’s natural tremoring mechanism. These therapeutic tremors can help release muscular tension and support regulation of the nervous system.

TRE is a body-led practice. You remain in control throughout the experience and will be guided to work only within what feels comfortable and supportive for you. No previous experience is necessary.


What is breathwork?

Breathwork is the intentional use of breathing patterns to influence how you feel in your body and mind. In this workshop, you’ll be guided through an active breathing practice with frequent reminders to stay connected to your body, adjust as needed, and return to natural breathing at any time.


This workshop may be a great fit if you:
  • Carry stress or tension in your body.
  • Want to feel more connected to your body, breath, and emotions.
  • Are curious about TRE or breathwork and would like a supportive introduction.
  • Want practical tools for creating more calm, space, and resilience.
  • Enjoy somatic practices, yoga, meditation, or mindful movement.
  • Appreciate practices that offer guidance without asking you to force a particular outcome.

What to bring
  • Yoga mat
  • Water bottle
  • Comfortable clothing you can move and breathe in
  • Layers for relaxation
  • Optional: a pillow and blanket for extra comfort

Whether this is your first experience with TRE and breathwork or you’re returning to deepen your practice, you’ll be guided every step of the way with options that honor your body’s unique needs.

Come as you are. Breathe, shake, rest, and leave with a little more space inside.
