Finding Safety Within
A 12 week somatic programme to begin coming back to yourself
Throughout the year I hold regular small group intakes to enable Trauma Informed Yoga and Somatic Healing to be more accessible.
Our group intakes are held periodically throughout the year in person and Online. You can find out more about the courses on offer below & join our waiting list for the next co-hort.
Finding Safety Within
12 week Trauma Informed Yoga Programme​
​This 12 week programme aims to bring stabilisation to your nervous system & psychoeducation surrounding how the nervous system works as well as recognising your own nervous system states.
Throughout the 12 weeks, you'll cover key areas of how to begin approaching a sense of safety in the body, allowing the body the slowly return back to presence.
01
Orientation & Grounding
Through orientation & Grounding practices we'll begin to understand how to bring a sense of safety back to the body using a bottom up approach. Developing an understanding of why & how this helps to begin the process of recovering from trauma & how to develop a practice that works for you as an individual.
03
Self-Regulation
Understanding & learning to befriend our nervous system allows us to approach our symptoms with compassion & without judgement. We can then start to learn self-regulation techniques & how they may differ in our approach depending on what state our nervous system is in.
Slowly being able to make appropriate choices for Vetral, Sympathetic & Dorsal states to help us return back to Ventral when we need it.
02
Befriending the Nervous System
As we begin to find practices that aid in bringing the body back into presence, we'll take a look into our nervous system states; what each state might look like for us leading with curiosity & discovering our internal language to understand which state might be modulating our behaviours.
04
Integration
Our last quarter of the programme focuses on integrating our understanding & stengthening the techniques we've found to help us.
We'll recognise areas of growth & progress, identify practices to take forwards and looking ahead to what might be next as well as the power of the group & closure.
What might group sessions include ?
Slowing down
Our group intakes aim to begin the process of slowing down so that our nervous system can begin to find a sense of safety. For some, slowing down can feel daunting & so our trauma informed yoga programmes aid in equipping you with learning how to re-establish safety within using bottom-up approaches.
Short practices
Each session builds on the the previous session. While we have a structure for our programmes, we lead from the group & our co-created safe space to begin learning to meet the body & presence through short practices. A typical session might include mindfulness & gounding, somatic movement, discussions & workbook exercises to help integrate our experiences.
open dialogue
Each session openly accepts dialogue to help you understand & discuss any sensations you might notice during the sessions, to ask questions or simply find connection with others & the group. As sessions are based on the body's response to Trauma, it's a safe space to heal on a physiological level without needing to re-tell or speak about our Trauma.
establishing safety
Our sessions are co-created around what safety looks like for you. Creating boundaries for yourself and the group in the beginning of our programme with reguar markers should you want to close a session down early. Together we create a safe space so you can create a sense of safety within yourself.
"The [12 week] programme has brought a lot of peace into my day to day due to being given to tools to cope with triggers and intrusive thoughts. I am now able to regulate my emotions and feel as though I can be present and more fulfilled during the good days. The people around me can see a huge change in me."
