Trauma-informed yoga is a pressure-free movement and breathing practice that prioritises the person's own boundaries, choices and comfort.
At the heart of the approach are a safe environment, predictability and the participant's sense of control. There are no demanding poses or impositions; each step is in the nature of an invitation.
The core principles of the practice:
Accompanied by a physiotherapist, breathing and movement work is carried out at a pace suited to the person. The participant may pause at any time; progression is determined entirely according to the person's comfort.
This practice does not replace psychological counselling or therapy. Where needed, collaboration with the relevant specialist and physician is recommended.

No. The practice does not require anyone to share their story. The focus is on body awareness, breathing and safe movement, and the participant may pause whenever they wish.
At the clinic, sessions are one-to-one and last 45-60 minutes. This helps keep the setting predictable and supports the person's sense of control.
It suits adults looking for a pressure-free movement practice at their own pace. If someone is currently receiving psychological treatment, it is recommended that they take part with their specialist's knowledge.
In a free preliminary consultation (15 min) your questions are answered; if appropriate, a detailed assessment (60 min) is planned.
