Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY)

Ideal for clients and their loved ones to engage in mindfulness practices. TIY helps people integrate sensations that can come to the surface from talk therapy. TIY can help build confidence to maintain personal wellness routines outside of therapy sessions. Trauma can have a lasting impact on both our physical and mental well-being. Sometimes traumatic experiences make our body disconnect from our mind and as a result, we feel detached from our own physical sensations and emotions. Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY) is an integrative activity that can help you.
