Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

At Pure Balance wellness center, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY) is a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of healing. It is where the body is gently guided to release its burdens, the mind finds calm, and the spirit is nurtured in a safe, supportive space.

Through this practice, we honor the resilience and strength within each individual, guiding them toward a path of profound healing and inner peace.

TSY is a specialized form of yoga that focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where individuals can reconnect with their bodies and find peace in movement. This practice is not about achieving perfect poses but about creating a sense of safety, empowerment, and self-awareness through mindful, compassionate movement.

How Trauma-sensitive Yoga Works

Trauma-Sensitive Yoga works by helping us regain a sense of control and ownership over our bodies. Trauma often leaves deep physical and emotional imprints, causing the body to hold onto stress and tension. TSY uses gentle, deliberate movements and breathwork to release these held patterns, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.

The practice encourages us to listen to our bodies, make choices that feel right, and explore movements at our own pace. This empowerment and self-agency are crucial for healing from trauma, as they help rebuild trust and safety within oneself.

Yoga and Wellness

Yoga addresses the holistic nature of healing. The physical postures and movements help to release tension and stress stored in the muscles and tissues. The breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This means the fight-or-flight response is reduced and allows for a state of relaxation and safety.

Mindfulness and meditation practices incorporated into TSY help calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and enhance emotional regulation. Through this integrated approach, trauma-sensitive yoga offers a pathway to reconnect with the body, heal emotional wounds, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience.
