Trauma Sensitive Yoga is Evidence Based
The benefits of trauma-sensitive yoga are profound, particularly for those who have experienced trauma or are dealing with symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder, or complex-PTSD. This approach can aid in regulating your nervous system, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improving self-awareness. Trauma-sensitive yoga provides a safe space to explore bodily sensations and emotions at your own pace, promoting a gradual restoration of trust and safety in your body.
