Yoga, known for its benefits to physical and mental health, has existed for thousands of years. An increasingly popular approach within this ancient practice is trauma-informed yoga. It merges traditional yoga's wisdom with modern psychology's insights, aiming to facilitate healing and resilience for those who have experienced trauma. This article explores the concept of trauma-informed yoga, its principles, and its potential benefits.
Trauma-informed yoga is a mindful physical practice designed specifically for individuals recovering from traumatic experiences. Recognizing that trauma can have long-lasting effects on a person's physical and mental health, this form of yoga focuses on creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for practitioners.
Unlike traditional yoga classes, trauma-informed yoga is less about the physical poses and more about the mind-body connection. It aims to empower individuals to reconnect with their bodies, develop greater self-awareness, and build emotional regulation skills.
The guiding principles of trauma-informed yoga focus on safety, choice, and empowerment:
Safety: Instructors strive to create a physically and emotionally safe environment for practice. Clear communication, respectful language, and avoiding physical adjustments are some ways to enhance safety.
Choice: Trauma-informed yoga emphasizes the freedom of choice. There are no expectations or judgments, and individuals have complete control over their participation. Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies and modify poses as needed.
Empowerment: The practice aims to empower individuals by encouraging self-awareness, body autonomy, and resilience. It supports individuals in reclaiming their bodies after trauma.
Mind-Body Connection: Trauma often leads to disconnection from one's body. Trauma-informed yoga helps individuals reconnect with their physical selves and regain control and comfort in their bodies. When applied correctly, trauma-informed yoga can provide several benefits:
Stress Reduction: Like other forms of yoga, trauma-informed yoga can reduce stress and promote relaxation. It helps to regulate the nervous system, reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related conditions.
Improved Emotional Regulation: Individuals can learn to manage their emotions and reactions better through mindful movement and focused breathing.
Increased Self-Awareness: The practice promotes self-awareness, helping individuals to recognize and respond to their physical and emotional needs.
Promotes Healing and Resilience: Through a sense of safety, choice, and empowerment, trauma-informed yoga can support healing and resilience in the aftermath of trauma.
As we gain a deeper understanding of trauma and its effects on the body, approaches like trauma-informed yoga are increasingly recognized for their potential to support recovery and enhance overall well-being. Trauma-informed yoga offers a holistic approach to trauma recovery, bridging the gap between mind and body. It underscores the power of yoga not just as a physical practice and as a therapeutic tool for psychological healing and resilience.

Our online group therapy sessions teach members how to integrate CBT techniques into their daily lives. Incorporating these skill sets enables them to recognize triggers, counteract negative thought patterns, and adopt more positive behaviors to recover from and manage their symptoms. In addition to CBT, our PTSD treatment utilizes prolonged exposure therapy (PE), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and stress inoculation training (SIT) in a group setting.
