Trauma Sensitive Yoga Course
4 Week Face-To-Face Trauma Informed Yoga Course.
This course invites participants to learn skills including mindfulness, meditation, using the breath to regulate autonomic arousal, improving body awareness, distress tolerance and developing insight, so you can be more present, aware and meet your own needs. Beneficial for individuals with a history of trauma, symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain and stress, amongst others, to increase body awareness and ability to safely inhabit your body. A useful adjunct to individual psychotherapy or as a stand alone treatment. This is an inclusive space, focused on collective healing.
