Trauma-informed Yoga is less about specific poses or sequences and more about creating a safe space for the practice of yoga by focusing on how we feel in each pose. The foundational intentions of a trauma-informed yoga practice are to help you find a sense of grounding and support in your body, to connect to sensations in a safe way, and to use the practice to help you trust your body’s signals again. This way, you can learn to self-regulate and find a sense of physical, emotional, and psychological safety, as well as presence and balance.Yoga can help free you from the grip of the past so that you can be truly present in an authentic and embodied way. Thats what we are here to help cultivate together.
Traumatic events such as car accidents, abuse, natural disasters, violence, and death of a loved one can overwhelm your capacity to cope and respond. So can high levels of constant stress. Unresolved trauma affects overall mood regulation and physical health and can leave you feeling disconnected from your body. It can manifest as anxiety, depression, digestive issues, headaches, back pain, or autoimmune illnesses. Trauma can leave you feeling dissociated, where you don’t feel much at all, or highly activated, where you feel intense emotional or physical responses to certain stimuli. The effects vary from person to person, and there isn’t one type of yoga practice that works for everyone. That said, certain basic yoga tools can be helpful for almost anyone struggling with unresolved trauma or high stress.
Shawn will be leading this event, she is a breast cancer survivor who loves teaching others how yoga can help heal.
