The Therapeutic Movement and Mindfulness Foundations Programme is an inclusive and gently paced programme over 8 weeks.
This programme works directly with the physiological elements of trauma by using yoga forms, stabilising breath techniques and mindfulness to gently engage in the feeling sensations in your body. Working with evidence-based body-centred interventions reduces trauma symptoms by helping to regulate the autonomic nervous system.
Over time a more positive relationship with your body is possible as you practise making positive choices based on this more attuned awareness of how your body is responding to any given situation.
After the Foundations course it is possible to continue by joining the Ongoing Therapeutic class.

Additional Info:
This programme is designed to metabolise stress and trauma which is stored in the body in a safe trauma-informed space. The body keeps the score but the body also is the site for healing. The building is accessible for wheelchairs. Classes can be adapted to include many physical considerations - you can choose to work from a chair or the floor, you can choose to use a block or bolster to support your posture, and you can choose to opt out of postures that you donโ€™t feel comfortable in. Please wear any clothes you are comfortable in and can move in. You are invited to bring something along that helps you to anchor into safety. This may be a favourite blanket, a touchstone, a weighted blanket. We have some weighted props available in class.
