Trauma-sensitive yoga

Trauma-sensitive yoga can complement psychological therapy. Through the invitation of gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques, trauma-sensitive yoga can support the process of reconnecting with oneself, fostering a sense of safety and trust in the body. This can be particularly beneficial for people who can feel high anxiety or disconnected from their emotions and in their relationships. By giving choices to explore bodily sensations in the present moment, trauma-sensitive yoga can safely support individuals to develop self-awareness, compassion and acceptance. It aims to empower people to develop skills in managing difficult inner experiences, regulate their nervous systems, and reclaim a sense of agency, thus enhancing the effectiveness of psychological therapy in working towards positive change.
