What Yoga Services Are Provided?
We offer group and individual trauma-informed yoga classes designed to create a safe, supportive environment for healing and self-awareness. Group classes provide a sense of community and shared experience, while separate sessions offer personalized guidance tailored to each person's unique needs and healing journey. Trauma-informed yoga emphasizes choice, empowerment, and mindfulness, focusing on gentle movement, breathwork, and body awareness. The approach is sensitive to the effects of trauma, avoiding activating language or touch, and encouraging participants to reconnect with their bodies at their own pace.
What is Trauma-Informed Yoga?
Trauma-informed yoga is a compassionate and empowering approach to yoga that recognizes the impact of trauma on the body and mind. It prioritizes physical and emotional safety, offering practices that help individuals reconnect with their bodies in a gentle, supportive way. Unlike traditional yoga classes, trauma-informed yoga avoids triggering language, physical adjustments, and rigid instructions. Instead, it emphasizes choice, body awareness, and self-regulation, allowing participants to move at their own pace and make decisions that feel right for them. The goal is to create a space where healing, resilience, and a sense of control can begin to grow.
Do I Need to Know/Be Good At/Practice Yoga to Join a Class?
No, these trauma-informed yoga classes are beginner-friendly and designed to be accessible to individuals of all experience levels, including those who have never practiced yoga before. Movements are gentle and adaptable, with plenty of options and modifications offered to meet each person's comfort and ability. There is no expectation to perform or "get it right"—instead, the focus is on tuning into your own body, moving mindfully, and honoring your personal experience. Whether in a group or one-on-one setting, the classes foster a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where everyone is supported in their healing journey.
