What Is Yoga for Trauma Survivors?
A 4-week trauma-sensitive yoga series led by Yoga 8 studio owner Kim Damm, designed to help participants reconnect with their bodies through breath awareness, gentle movement, and mindfulness.
Trauma can affect our relationship with our bodies, our responses to stress, and our ability to feel present in our everyday lives. Trauma-sensitive yoga offers a way to begin rebuilding that connection through intentional movement, awareness of the breath, and practices that support relaxation and nervous system regulation.
Throughout this series, we will explore how the connection between the body and breath can support greater awareness, resilience, and a renewed sense of agency in our own experiences.
What to Expect
Each session will introduce trauma-sensitive yoga practices that encourage participants to develop body awareness, recognize their responses to stress, and explore tools for nervous system regulation.
Together, we will explore:
Breath awareness and mindful breathing
Gentle movement and body awareness
Practices that encourage relaxation
Techniques to support nervous system regulation
Tools to cultivate resilience and strengthen the mind-body connection
Over time, these practices may help participants develop a greater sense of connection with their bodies and cultivate practical tools to support their well-being beyond the mat.
Who Is This Series For?
This series is designed for trauma survivors interested in exploring the benefits of trauma-sensitive yoga in a supportive environment. Whether you are new to yoga or have an established practice, these sessions offer an opportunity to slow down, develop body awareness, and reconnect with yourself through mindful movement and breath.
There is no expectation to share personal experiences or move beyond your own comfort level.
Please note: This is a yoga practice series, not a group therapy session. Yoga 8 recommends that all participants be under the supervision of a therapist or have access to a therapist to support them in processing any experiences that may arise during practice.
