Offerings
Trauma Sensitive YogaTrauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is a beautiful intervention for people who struggle with complex, interpersonal trauma. It’s based in trauma theory, neuroscience, attachment theory and Hatha yoga. It differs from other types of yoga as certain postures are not used, there are no adjustments or emphasis on alignment of postures and the teacher emphasizes choice and mindfulness throughout the session. There is often a focus on reconnecting with internally felt body sensations and responding to those sensations in ways that feel best to you. Heather is offering these sessions as a Private Yoga session at this time. |
Yoga for StressIn this class we explore how yoga can be used to address symptoms of stress. Participants are encouraged to adapt postures to fit their needs and body awareness is encouraged throughout the practice. There is a 60 minute yoga practice which contains breathing, movement and meditation.
