Why Somatic Yoga Therapy
According to Bessell Van der Kolk, MD “Trauma is about heartbreaking gut-wrenching feeling. It’s not about thoughts…”It really is about your body getting stuck in a state of sensations that are basically intolerable.”
Sacred Some Yoga Therapy approach to healing trauma focuses on addressing the physical sensation and tensions stored in the body as a result of trauma, rather than solely focusing on cognitive processes or thought.
Somatic Yoga Therapy
In a yoga therapy session, participants embark on a personalized journey towards holistic well-being. The session starts with an assessment to understand the individual's state, then focuses on releasing tension through somatic yoga therapy. Throughout, the client is guided to connect with and listen to their body. Once settled, the body reveals what it wants to heal. The therapist empowers the participant with self-care tools, resulting in renewed calm and improved well-being.
Thai Yoga Bodywork
Thai Yoga Bodywork is a therapeutic approach that combines massage and energy work. It involves conscious touch, gentle stretches, range of motion exercises, and other techniques to impact the entire energy and nervous system. This modality is performed with a softer touch, aiming to alleviate pain and restore balance. It's considered safe and effective for a wide range of individuals, from strong athletes to frail or elderly clients. After a session, clients often experience reduced or completely relieved pain and an overall sense of well-being.
