HEALING

Holistic approach to healing for mind and body, through the body.

MIND. BODY. SOUL. YOGA FOR HEALING

Stress, anxiety, and trauma don't just happen to you; it happens inside of you! 

 

Yoga for healing uses holistic wellness coupled with Trauma Informed and Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga. It's focused on those experiencing overwhelm, stress, anxiety, PTSD, or even unresolved physical and emotional symptoms still being carried in their bodies from physical abuse, sexual abuse, or emotional abuse. Often, the stress or trauma was job-related, as in the case of veterans and first responders. It is also beneficial to those dealing with complex issues related to autoimmune disorders, health crises or addiction, eating disorders, and other compulsive behaviors.

 

For many, the body was a piece that was left out of the therapy room.

WHY YOGA THERAPY FOR MENTAL HEALTH?
It can be challenging for people who have experienced a stressful event, continued stress, or multiple stressors to keep their mind in the here and now. Once someone goes through a highly stressful or traumatic event, called overwhelm, it can be hard for the nervous system to go back and regulate. Yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which signals the body to calm down instead of being on a loop in the past or trying to control the future — both of which can compound stress. Trauma Sensitive Yoga focuses on connection to the present moment. Interoceptive awareness is used to navigate the ability to notice sensations in the body or notice the breath. All of which are happening in real-time.
