Online Trauma Sensitive Yoga

We're excited to announce our next Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Series with Kanuka Yoga Space; an eight-week online course which has been created with the help of lululemon and the Here To Be grant.

This course is fully subsidised by the Here to Be grant from lululemon, no cost to the attendee.
Spaces are limited.

This class will be run online via Zoom, a few prerequisites include filling out an onboarding form, a 15min onboarding call, and attendee has additional support through a counsellor or therapist.

Who benefits from practicing Trauma Sensitive Yoga?

Trauma Sensitive Yoga is established as an adjunct treatment for PTSD and is already approved under ACC Sensitive Claims. However, because of the limited number of ACC-covered therapists and limited amount of trauma sensitive classes held in New Zealand, it can be difficult to gain access to this type of yoga.

Trauma Sensitive Yoga empowers the participants to develop and improve:

Self-regulation skills by noticing bodily sensations signalling emotions
Increased mindfulness skills and ability to stay in the present moment
Awareness of their body (both internally and moving in space)
Relationship and connection to their body
Breath awareness to support working with states of hyperarousal, stress and anxiety
Relaxation and self-soothing skills
Increased sense of mastery and control by provision of choices
