Trauma Informed Yoga
-
A specialised branch of Yoga that acknowledges the affect of past trauma in our present moment lives.
-
TIY is a set of principles inspired by Yoga philosophy and the study of the nervous system.
How trauma might affect our experiences in the present moment:
-
It can change how we perceive the world and our sense of self.
-
Difficulty regulating our emotions and navigating relationships.
-
We may experience a wide range of symptoms relating to a dysregulated nervous system (eg. Depression, anxiety, dissociation, overwhelm, burn out)
How TIY could be supportive:
-
The aim of this work is to create a deeper felt sense of safety in our bodies, minds and environments.
-
We can work towards this through developing self-awareness and responding to our experiences with compassion and knowledge.
-
It may be helpful create a plan of regular "on the mat" practices to cultivate more stability in our systems.
-
And for our real life experiences, a toolbox of "on the spot" techniques to meet challenges with more ease.
-
TIY aims to increase emotional resilience and invite more enjoyment and simple pleasure into life.
