Workshop
No yoga experience or equipment is necessary for this workshop. Just an interest in integrating the body in therapy. Seated variations given. All welcome.
Trauma occurs when a choice is taken away from us. As humans, we need choice to self regulate, feel safe, create coping strategies and thrive. Self-regulation is essential for our sense of agency, positive self-esteem and wellbeing. We find equilibrium through the gentle rhythms of eye contact, smiling, crying, talking, laughing, hugging and unconsciously regulating the breath.
The pandemic, driven by a narrative of fear; isolated and silenced the human race. Our community is now working with the tsunami of mental and physical illness across all generations; children, young people, the elderly, caused by the dysregulation of a human race who had a primal need to feel safe.
Memory of trauma is housed and re-enacted in the body. Traditional Psychotherapy approaches trauma resolutions as something that needs to be worked through and understood. However, in this workshop, we will explore how various interventions can create change for trauma survivors.
