Trauma-Sensitive,
Trauma-Informed and Therapeutic Yoga

For those that would benefit from a therapeutic approach to yogic practice.

Do you have a health condition or are you recovering from an injury or physically demanding experience?

Have you recently experienced a traumatic event - including physical trauma?

Have you recently or do you currently experience flashbacks or unwanted disassociation?

Do you experience an active eating disorder or body dysmorphia?

Do you experience situation or persistent anxiety?

It is not recommended that anyone in an acute or clinical state pursue yoga that is not personalized to their needs.

If and when you and your physical and/or mental healthcare partner(s) agree that it is safe enough and beneficial for you, pursuing yoga therapy or trauma-sensitive yoga in tandem and in support of the other modalities you are exploring can affect powerful results.

  • Yoga Therapy

    Practices and resources remain therapeutic at all times and very carefully take into consideration any possible contraindications on a bio-psycho-social-spiritual level, as some seeking yoga therapy may be recovering or in the midst of wellness challenges. That said, yoga therapy can also be experienced as a more general self-care measure to maintain and modulate wellness on all koshic levels (ie all levels of your existence from a yoga philosophy perspective). Yoga philosophy and more educational discussions may figure into our work in yoga therapy, as can working in partnership to navigate the complex networks of any mental or physical health challenges you may be facing.

  • Trauma-Informed Yoga

    A trauma-informed (TI) lens is at the heart of all YWURP offerings. TI yoga applies a framework and toolset to support participants who may have experienced prolonged or high stress and/or trauma. It offers more flexibility in terms of practices, languaging and other factors and is less therapeutic than trauma-sensitive yoga.

    People sometimes assume that "trauma" doesn't apply to them. Trauma is defined as anything that overwhelmed your ability to cope. It can involve feelings of a loss of power, hopelessness, fear of one's life, overwhelming stress or a loss of connection to social ties and relationships that are vital for mental health and development.
