"Trauma is not just stored in the mind it lives in the body. Trauma can be held in the body in many ways:
Muscle tension
Insomnia and difficulty sleeping
High blood pressure
Hypervigilance
Being stuck in hyperarousal ("fight/flight")
Being stuck in hypoarousal ("freeze")
Decreased heart rate variability
Numbness or lack of feeling
Lowered immune function
Yoga therapy is a unique method that address these physical trauma symptoms in a safe, compassionate, and effective way. It draws on yoga poses and philosophy to provide a healing experience for both the mind and body. Instead of an emphasis on physical fitness or creating the "right" version of a pose, the movements in these sessions focus on awareness, self-agency, personal choice, and a positive connection with your own body."
