Why Trauma-Informed Yoga?

When trauma disconnects us from our bodies, traditional healing methods can fall short. Trauma-informed yoga therapy integrates principles of safety, consent, and somatic awareness to gently support nervous system regulation and emotional resilience.

If you're also considering trauma therapy, this body-based approach can work beautifully alongside it.

Benefits include:

  • Rebuilding trust with your body

  • Reducing anxiety and emotional overwhelm

  • Supporting trauma recovery alongside therapy

  • Increasing body awareness without judgment

  • Learning grounding techniques that travel with you

This is yoga redefined—for healing, not hustle.

Why It Works

Backed by research: Trauma-informed yoga has been shown to improve emotional regulation, reduce PTSD symptoms, and enhance self-trust.

Trauma-informed approaches emphasize:

  • Choice and consent in every pose

  • Regulation of the nervous system

  • Increased interoceptive awareness (feeling what's happening inside)

This isn’t just yoga—it’s somatic healing in motion.
