“The guiding principle of recovery is restoring a sense of power and control to the survivor.”
- Judith Herman
​
Trauma-informed yoga (TIY) is the practice of moving and breathing in a gentle, mindful way - one that honours your pace, your choices, and your nervous system.
Through simple movements, shapes, and breath awareness, TIY supports a gradual reconnection with the body and the present moment.
​
A cornerstone of this practice is choice and freedom. Every invitation is optional, and each session is shaped to support a felt sense of safety, agency, and personal autonomy.
Rather than aiming for performance or perfection, trauma-informed yoga offers a space to listen inward, respond to your body’s cues, and honour what feels right for you - moment to moment.
​
Several studies have shown that TIY can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms, improve sleep, and reduce anxiety and depression (Justice Resource Institute studies; West et al., 2017).
​
This yoga is for everybody, of any level of experience. All are welcome.
​
If you feel called to explore this work together one-on-one, I’d love to hear from you.
Trauma-informed yoga is also offered as part of our therapeutic group program - please visit the Group Work page for more details.
