This six week course is designed to help you explore your bodies wisdom, in particular, when recovering from trauma.

Yoga is increasingly recognised for its ability to support mental health. In this six week course for women, you will be guided by Katie Sayles, to learn practical techniques and mind-body explorations to support your trauma recovery journey.

This is a six week exploration of Therapeutic Yoga, Somatics and Polyvagal Theory to support you in your journey of self-discovery, embodied healing and meaningful change.

Each session is 90 minutes long and will consist of psychoeducation, movement, breathing practices, somatic practices and rest.

When embarking on this course, you are likely to meet like-minded souls who may have had similar experiences to you. It may therefore be a beautiful way to open yourself up to being witnessed by others, and supported in a held space where any and all of your expression is welcome.

The session topics will explore:

Week 1: Choice - Often when we experience trauma, our choice may have been taken away from us. This session will help you to find a sense of safety in your body and increase your capacity to be with emotions and sensations without becoming overwhelmed.

Week 2: The Witness - This session supports you to non-judgmentally observe your thoughts, emotions and sensations using a range of practices and gentle stretches.

Week 3: Cultivate Equanimity - In this session, we will explore Polyvagal theory and practices that aim to facilitate greater balance in the nervous system.

Week 4: Embodiment as Empowerment - This session is designed to support you to safely upregulate and mobilise the body and mind, enhancing the felt sense of vitality.

Week 5: Brain and Body Integration - This class explores the impact that trauma has on our body and mind, with practices to support brain integration.

Week 6: Opening to Love - In the final class of this course, practices aim to facilitate a gentle and safe opening of the heart, an inward turn towards yourself and softening of muscular tension.
