Trauma-sensitive yoga

Trauma-sensitive yoga is an approach that reworks traditional yoga with an emphasis on choice and bodily sensation. In this adaptation, instead of rigid poses and instructions, what comes to the fore is a person listening to their own body, making choices, and moving at their own pace. The approach aims for a person to form a safe and choice-based relationship with their body. Trauma-sensitive yoga turns the practice of yoga into a field not of control but of awareness. This approach makes returning to the body gentle and based on choice.
