trauma-informed yoga
+ movement

Trauma-informed yoga is a compassionate approach that honours the deep connection between the mind and body, creating a safe and empowering space for healing and resilience. It focuses on choice, sensitivity and empowerment, allowing participants to explore movement and self-awareness at their own pace.

I offer trauma-informed yoga sessions and professional training for those eager to integrate or further develop these transformative practices into their work and facilitate classes locally.

Trauma-informed yoga has been a lifeline in my own healing journey with complex trauma, helping me reconnect with my body and rebuild a sense of safety and resilience. This personal experience inspires my passion for sharing these practices with others.

With certifications in Traumatic Stress Studies and trauma-informed facilitation, and, as a soon-to-be graduate of a 300-hour Trauma Centre Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) training alongside my professional experience within the community + health sectors, I bring both lived and learned expertise to my work.

I believe in creating spaces that empower individuals, honouring their unique paths to healing and recovery.

Trauma-informed yoga is a gentle, supportive practice that centres on creating a safe space for exploration, healing, and empowerment. For me, it’s about offering participants the choice to move at their own pace, fostering internal awareness, and respecting each individual’s journey.

Whether these are introduction-to-trauma-informed yoga with free sessions for qualifying volunteer/nonprofit-target groups, community and studio classes or virtual classes I focus on introspection and choice making.

I also can work with you to bring accessible yoga and mindfulness sessions to be combined with other services. This might look like groups participating in multi-day workshops at an off-site team event could add trauma-informed yoga classes as an optional wellbeing session.

My yoga teacher training includes:

Vinyasa/Flow (250 hours teacher training) with Zero Point Yoga
Yin and Yoga Nidra with Zero Point Yoga & Mark Pheely (75 hours)
Multiple trauma-informed yoga individual facilitation programs (60 hours yoga-specific, many more in mental health & health)
Boston's TCTSY (Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga Teacher Training) specialised facilitator, this is a level 2 teaching qualification of 300 hours.

trauma-informed facilitation and trauma-informed yoga workshops

I combines my expertise in adult learning and transformational change with trauma-informed practice and yoga training to create workshops that are deeply experiential and practice-led.

My sessions provide an understanding of how trauma responses can impact the body, both on and off the mat, offering participants tools for awareness and empowerment.

I facilitate from my professional and lived experience, and am passionate in my belief that while not all yoga/movement classes should have to be trauma-informed - all movement facilitators and space-holders should have an understanding of trauma-informed practices and why they're so important.
