trauma sensitive yoga classes, sydney
Union Street Yoga (175a Union Street, Erskineville)
Every Saturday 11:00am - 12:00pm
In my trauma sensitive yoga class, you will be guided through a gentle moving yoga practice and invited to notice what you feel in your body in the present moment. Noticing how sensations shift, evolve and come to an end can help us to expand our capacity for dealing with physical and emotional distress, which begins the process of truly inhabiting our body and building resilience.
You will be invited to make empowering choices based on how you’re feeling energetically and physically, taking variations of poses, or different poses entirely to bring the energy of the class up or down - providing you with the opportunity to explore what you need in that moment.
The yoga poses offered will be very accessible to everyone regardless of previous yoga experience. The classes will include cover a variety of yoga techniques to help you connect to your body, including gentle breath practices and guided meditations to promote relaxation. This class is suitable for those who have experienced trauma, depression or have stressful or anxious feelings.

“The beauty of trauma-sensitive yoga is that no one is there to talk about their experience of trauma. There is a shared energy - a bond and an understanding that everyone is in the room because they may have had a similar experience. We are there to breathe together and move together as a community, and it’s a powerful things to share this connection.”
