trauma sensitive yoga workshops
Trauma-Sensitive Yoga is a therapeutic approach that integrates yoga practices specifically designed to address and heal physical and/or psychological conditions, from the simplest to the most complex.
Through techniques that promote body awareness, grounding, emotional regulation, breathwork, meditation, and gentle movement, we will explore different ways to practice postures (asanas), adapting them to each individual.
Each workshop will focus on healing a specific condition, such as anxiety, stress, disconnection from the body and present moment, or physical injuries. During the sessions, you will receive both theoretical and practical guidance on the connection between the body, mind, and nervous system, and learn the principles of trauma-informed yoga to support healing processes.
