Frequently Asked Questions

Trauma-informed yoga emphasizes creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment. It acknowledges the unique needs of individuals with trauma histories and adapts movements to be sensitive to potential triggers, ensuring participants feel secure and empowered throughout.

Trauma-informed yoga offers a holistic approach that addresses both the body and the mind. While traditional therapy might focus on cognitive processing, discussions, and understanding trauma, trauma-informed yoga allows for embodied healing.

By integrating both, individuals have the opportunity to process trauma mentally while also releasing stored tensions and emotions in the body, leading to a more comprehensive healing experience. Many therapists recommend trauma-informed yoga as a complementary treatment to enhance the therapeutic journey.

Absolutely. While it’s tailored for those with trauma experiences, the principles of safety, mindfulness, and body awareness can benefit anyone. Many participants find it a more grounding and attentive approach compared to traditional yoga.

No, trauma-informed yoga is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The primary focus is on creating a healing environment rather than achieving complex poses.

While trauma-informed yoga is designed for those with trauma histories, the sessions primarily focus on the yoga practice itself. Sharing personal experiences isn’t required or expected. However, it’s essential to communicate with the instructor about any specific triggers or concerns you may have.

Trauma-informed yoga helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, fostering a sense of safety and empowerment. By emphasising mindfulness, it can also help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress, complementing other therapeutic approaches.

It’s not uncommon for emotions to surface during any yoga practice, but it might be more pronounced in trauma-informed sessions due to the nature of the approach. If emotions arise, it’s a sign that the body and mind are processing and releasing. It’s always essential to go at your own pace and take breaks or modify as needed.

Remember that the goal of trauma-informed yoga isn’t to cause you to relive your trauma – it’s a safe way to explore your emotions while feeling empowered, nurturing your mind-body connection, and learning vital mindfulness skills.
